Why does your Capsicum baccatum Cubana have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
This is the most common cause of fine webbing on pepper plants. These mites thrive in hot, dry conditions and feed on the undersides of leaves, injecting toxins that cause stippling and eventually large silk webs.
In warmer climates, these mites can create a fine, almost invisible silk structure around the fruit and stems of Capsicum baccatum, leading to a dusty or webbed appearance.
While not true webbing, certain fungal hyphae or 'cobweb' molds can appear as fine white filaments in extremely stagnant, humid environments around the pepper foliage.
