Why does your Chrysanthemum Willian 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 indoor conditions. These arachnids feed on the plant's sap, causing stippling (tiny white dots) on the leaves and creating silk webs to protect their eggs.
Often occurring alongside Two-Spotted mites, these thrive in hot, arid environments and can cause rapid decline in Chrysanthemum foliage. The webbing becomes more dense as the infestation progresses, eventually covering entire flower heads.
While not a producer of silk, certain fungal hyphae can appear as fine, fuzzy white textures on Chrysanthemum petals or leaves in overly damp conditions. This is often confused with mite webbing but lacks the structural 'tented' look of spider webs.
