Why does your Lilium Arbatax have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Lilium species. They pierce individual plant cells to feed on sap, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create colonies across the lily leaves.
This specific mite species is highly common in Lilium gardens and produces dense webbing, especially around the leaf axils and undersides of the foliage. As the infestation progresses, you may see stippling or yellowing on the lily leaves.
While less common for 'webbing,' certain fungal hyphae can appear as fine, hair-like structures in extremely stagnant, moist environments near the base of the lily bulb. This is often mistaken for mite webbing but usually lacks the organized structure of silk.
