Why does your Chrysanthemum Pico Exota White have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These microscopic arachnids thrive in warm, dry conditions and feed on the underside of Chrysanthemum leaves, piercing cells and excreting honeydew. The fine webbing is a defensive silk structure used for movement and egg protection.
Extremely low humidity can cause Chrysanthemums to become physiologically stressed, making them more susceptible to existing mite populations or causing leaf edges to desiccate in a way that mimics webbed textures.
While often associated with Cyclamen, these mites can affect various ornamental flowers like Chrysanthemums, creating much finer, nearly invisible webbing that can cause leaf distortion.
