Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae)

The fine webbing is a classic sign of a spider mite infestation, where mites spin webs to protect themselves and their eggs. These pests feed on the sap of the Anthurium leaves, causing stippling and chlorosis.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper under a leaf and tap it to see if tiny moving dots fall onto the paper.

1 Isolate the plant immediately to prevent the mites from spreading to other houseplants.
2 Thoroughly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to physically remove webbing and mites, then spray the plant with an organic miticide.
3 Increase local humidity around the plant, as spider mites thrive in dry conditions; consider using a fine mist spray.

Broad Mites (Polyphagotarsonemus latus)

While less common than spider mites, broad mites can cause webbing-like textures and leaf distortion in Anthuriums. They are microscopic and often inhabit the undersides of developing leaves.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the newest, youngest leaves for puckering, curling, or a bronzed appearance.

1 Inspect the undersides of new leaves and growth tips for microscopic movement or distorted, puckered foliage.
2 Apply an organic miticide/insecticide spray to the plant, ensuring thorough coverage of the leaf undersides to eliminate mites.
3 Use yellow sticky traps near the plant to monitor for any emerging pests and prevent further infestation.
warning

High Humidity with Low Air Circulation

While not a direct cause of webbing, extremely high humidity combined with stagnant air can create a microscopic fungal film that may look like fine, fuzzy webbing on leaf surfaces.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the webbing feels sticky or organic rather than silk-like and ensure there is gentle airflow around the plant.

1 Treat the plant with an organic fungicide to eliminate the fungal film and protect healthy leaf tissue.
2 Improve air circulation around the plant by using a small fan to prevent stagnant, humid air from settling on the leaves.
3 Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove any visible residue or microscopic film.
