Why does your Lilium Farini 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 the plant cells to feed on sap, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create colonies on the undersides of leaves.
A specific strain of mite common in Liliums that produces dense webbing during periods of low humidity. This leads to stippling (tiny yellow dots) on the foliage before the webbing becomes prominent.
While less likely to produce 'webbing,' certain fungal hyphae can appear as fine, hair-like structures in extremely stagnant, moist environments surrounding the lily bulb.
