Why does your Chrysanthemum Gaucho 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 Chrysanthemums, especially in dry conditions. These mites feed on the underside of leaves, injecting toxins that lead to stippling and eventual silk web construction to protect their colonies.
While less aggressive than two-spotted mites, false spider mites can inhabit Chrysanthemum foliage and produce fine, inconspicuous webbing. They thrive in similar warm, dry environments and cause leaf discoloration.
In some cases, what looks like webbing can be fine mycelial growth from Botrytis cinerea if the Chrysanthemum foliage is excessively wet and lacks airflow. This typically presents as fuzzy gray patches rather than organized silk webs.
