Why does your Aeonium arboreum Atropurpureum have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often preferred by Aeonium. They pierce individual leaf cells to suck out contents, leaving behind fine silk webbing and characteristic stippling.
Similar to the two-spotted variety, these mites create fine webs that can eventually encase entire rosettes of the Aeonium. They are particularly active when the plant's humidity levels drop too low.
While less common, certain mite species can inhabit organic matter in the soil and migrate upward to create webbing around the base of the succulent rosette.
