Why does your Begonia Monza Scarlet have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Begonia Monza Scarlet. They feed on the undersides of the leaves, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create colonies.
Extremely dry air can cause the Begonia's leaf edges to desiccate and become brittle. This physical breakdown of leaf tissue can sometimes trap dust or debris, mimicking a fine webbed appearance.
While less likely to produce visible silk webs, broad mites can cause stunting and leaf distortion in Begonias that may be mistaken for webbing-related damage. They are microscopic and much harder to detect visually.
