Why does your Dracaena fragrans Massangeana have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry environments often preferred by Dracaena. They feed on the underside of leaves, secreting silk that forms characteristic fine webbing and causing stippling (tiny yellow dots) on the foliage.
While they do not produce large webs, heavy broad mite infestations can cause leaf distortion and secondary silken appearances due to plant stress and debris accumulation. They are often found in the tight crevices of new Dracaena growth.
In extremely high humidity with poor air circulation, fine white mycelium (fungal threads) can sometimes be mistaken for webbing on the leaf surface or stem bases.
