Why does your Chrysanthemum Pico Luminoso have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Chrysanthemums. They pierce plant cells to feed on sap, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they build colonies across the foliage.
A specific subspecies highly common in greenhouse-grown Chrysanthemums, known for rapid reproduction. The webbing is a defensive structure used to protect their eggs and move between the dense blooms and leaves.
While not a direct cause of webbing, extremely low humidity stresses Chrysanthemums and accelerates the lifecycle of existing mite populations. This environmental stress makes the plant's natural defenses weaker against silk-producing pests.
