Why does your Dracaena sanderiana Golden Edie have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The presence of fine webbing is a classic sign of a spider mite infestation, which thrives in the low-humidity environments often used for Lucky Bamboo. These microscopic pests pierce plant cells to suck out nutrients, leading to yellowing or stippling on the leaves.
A specific subset of spider mites that prefers the warmer, drier conditions common in indoor Dracaena care. They create dense silken webs around leaf junctions to protect their eggs from predators and environmental changes.
While not a direct cause of webbing, extreme dryness can cause leaf tissues to degrade and become brittle, making existing minor silk from incidental pests appear more prominent or 'web-like'. This is common when Dracaena is placed near heating vents.
