Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Canna lilies. They feed on the undersides of leaves, injecting saliva that causes stippling and the production of fine silk webbing to protect their colonies.

Very Common

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

1 Immediately spray the plant, especially the undersides of leaves, with an organic miticide to kill existing mites and larvae.
2 Increase humidity around the plant and avoid dry, hot conditions to make the environment less hospitable for spider mite reproduction.
3 Monitor the plant regularly using yellow sticky traps to catch any remaining adult mites and prevent a new infestation.

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite) Outbreak

In high humidity or drought stress, these mites can rapidly colonize Canna foliage, creating dense web structures around the leaf margins and stems to facilitate movement across the plant.

Very Common

How to confirm: Inspect the undersides of the leaves for tiny reddish or yellowish dots that move slowly.

1 Immediately spray the plant with an organic miticide or insecticide to kill existing mites and larvae.
2 Physically remove visible webbing and wipe down leaves with a damp cloth to disrupt the mite's habitat.
3 Increase humidity around the plant and monitor soil moisture to reduce the drought stress that triggers outbreaks.

Environmental Dust Accumulation

While not biological webbing, heavy dust buildup on the large, broad leaves of Canna can sometimes appear as a fine, greyish film or 'web-like' coating when combined with high humidity.

Common

How to confirm: Wipe a leaf with a damp cloth to see if the 'webbing' is simply surface debris that washes away easily.

1 Gently wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to remove the dust and greyish film, ensuring you clean both the top and underside of the foliage.
2 Use a fine mist to hydrate the leaves, which helps prevent dust from resettling and maintains humidity levels.
