Why does your Anthurium andraeanum Bambino Red have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The presence of fine webbing is a classic hallmark of a spider mite infestation. These microscopic pests pierce the plant's cells to suck out sap, which leads to stippling and eventual leaf drop in Anthuriums.
Anthuriums thrive in high humidity; when the air is too dry, the plant becomes stressed and more susceptible to mite outbreaks. While dry air doesn't create webbing itself, it creates the microclimate where mites thrive.
While thrips usually cause silvery streaks rather than webbing, a heavy infestation in a dry environment can sometimes be accompanied by secondary silken strands from other opportunistic micro-arthropods.
