Why does your Dracaena fragrans have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites thrive in the low-humidity environments often found with Dracaena, creating fine silk webs around the leaf undersides and stems to protect their colonies. These pests suck the chlorophyll from the leaves, leading to stippling and eventual yellowing of the Corn Plant foliage.
While broad mites are too small to see with the naked eye, they can cause structural distortions and a fine, dusty appearance on new growth. They often accompany spider mite issues in indoor Dracaena when air circulation is poor.
In very dry environments, the edges of old Dracaena leaves can become brittle and disintegrate into fine, hair-like fragments that may mimic webbing. This is often accompanied by crispy, brown leaf margins.
