Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Lilium hybrids. They pierce the leaf cells to feed on sap, and as the population grows, they produce characteristic fine silk webbing to protect themselves and their eggs.

Very Common

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

1 Immediately spray the plant with an organic miticide or insecticide to kill existing mites, larvae, and eggs.
2 Increase humidity around the lily and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to physically remove webbing and disrupt the mites' dry habitat.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the environment does not become too dry, which encourages mite outbreaks.

European Red Spider Mite (Panonychus cynarae)

These mites specifically target bulbous plants like Pedrolino lilies, particularly during summer heat. While they produce less visible webbing than the two-spotted variety, they can cause fine silken strands near the leaf junctions.

Common

How to confirm: Examine the undersides of the lily leaves for small, reddish-brown dots moving slowly across the surface.

1 Apply an organic miticide or insecticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy any remaining eggs or larvae.
2 Increase humidity around the lily leaves by misting regularly, as spider mites thrive in hot, dry conditions.
3 Prune and dispose of heavily infested or damaged leaves to prevent the mites from spreading further throughout the plant.
warning

Low Humidity and Desiccation

Extreme lack of humidity can cause the delicate tissues of Pedrolino lilies to dry out rapidly. While not a biological web, this physiological stress can make the plant more susceptible to mite infestations which then create the webbing.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the leaf edges are also browning or curling in addition to the presence of the webbing.

1 Increase ambient humidity around the lily to prevent tissue desiccation and discourage mite activity.
2 Inspect the plant closely for spider mites and treat any visible pests with an organic insecticide spray.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant remains hydrated without becoming waterlogged.
