Why does your Chrysanthemum Pico Passoa Orange have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.

A specific strain of spider mite common in greenhouse-grown Chrysanthemums, known for rapid reproduction. High humidity fluctuations can trigger outbreaks that manifest as dense webbing across new growth.
Chrysanthemums prefer moderate humidity; extremely dry air can stress the plant, making it more susceptible to mite attacks and sometimes causing fine, desiccated leaf edges that can be mistaken for webbing.
