Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

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.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper under a lily leaf and tap the leaf to see if tiny moving specks fall onto the paper.

1 Immediately spray the plant, especially the undersides of leaves, with an organic miticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy existing webbing.
2 Increase local humidity around the lily to create an environment that is less hospitable to spider mites, as they thrive in dry conditions.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely to ensure the plant remains hydrated without overwatering, which helps maintain plant vigor against pests.

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite)

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.

Very Common

How to confirm: Inspect the leaf undersides for small, reddish or orange crawling dots near the web junctions.

1 Apply an organic miticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy existing eggs and larvae.
2 Increase ambient humidity around the lily to discourage the mites from producing dense webbing.
3 Gently wipe the foliage with a damp cloth to physically remove webbing and any remaining mites from the leaves.

High Humidity/Microclimate Mold

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.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the 'webbing' is actually fuzzy growth on dead organic matter at the base of the lily stem rather than attached to the leaves.

1 Improve airflow around the plant by spacing it away from other foliage and using a small fan to prevent stagnant, moist microclimates.
2 Apply a fungicide to eliminate fungal hyphae and protect the plant from further mold development.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely to ensure the medium is not staying excessively saturated, which promotes mold growth.
