Why does your Anthurium andraeanum Fiesta have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These tiny arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often found with Anthurium 'Fiesta'. They pierce the plant cells to suck out sap, leaving behind characteristic fine silk webbing and stippling on the leaves.
While they do not produce large webs, extreme infestations can cause distorted, stunted growth and a fine, dusty appearance on new foliage. They are particularly destructive to the tender emerging leaves of Anthuriums.
Extremely low humidity can cause the fine hairs on Anthurium leaf margins to look like debris or micro-webbing. This is often accompanied by crispy, brown edges on the spathes and leaves.
