Why does your Echeveria runyonii Topsy Turvy have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Pet FriendlyThese microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often preferred by Echeveria. They pierce the succulent cells to suck out nutrients, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create colonies across the rosette.
While less likely to produce thick webbing than spider mites, broad mites can cause structural distortions and fine silken traces. They are particularly destructive to the tender growth points of Echeveria rosettes.
In very high humidity with poor airflow, fine fungal mycelium can sometimes resemble light webbing on the surface of the leaves. This is less common for succulents but can occur if the plant is kept in a closed terrarium.
