Leaves produce exudates - which are sugars, proteins and carbohydrates. So
the plant puts out the foods to feed the organisms.

If the organisms aren't killed by something, they will remain for a long
time. In the case of my roses, they were still present and functioning a
year and three months before they finally got wiped out.

They glue and bind themselves to the leaf surfaces. Grow on the plant
exudates.
