Why does your Lilium candidum have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites are common pests for Lilium candidum, especially in warm, dry conditions. They pierce the cell walls of the lily leaves to suck out nutrients, leaving behind fine silken webbing as a protective habitat.
This specific mite species thrives in the microclimate around lilies during summer. The fine webbing often starts on the undersides of older leaves and progresses toward the new growth.
While less common than mites, certain fungal or bacterial exudates in very high humidity can create a film that looks like fine, sticky webbing. This is usually accompanied by a damp smell and darkened leaf tissue.
