Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Triumphator lilies during summer. They pierce cell walls to feed on sap, creating characteristic fine silken webs that cover the undersides of leaves and stems.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper under a leaf and tap it to see if tiny moving dots drop off.

1 Apply an organic insecticide/miticide spray to the plant, ensuring you thoroughly coat the undersides of leaves where mites reside.
2 Increase humidity around the plant and avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as spider mites thrive in hot, arid environments.
3 Prune and dispose of heavily infested leaves to prevent the mites from spreading to healthy parts of the lily.

Southern Yellow Stock Spider Mite (Graphocephala coleoptrata) related webbing

While less common than the two-spotted variety, certain mite species create much denser, more structural webbing across the lily foliage when humidity levels drop significantly.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the junctions where the leaf meets the stem for concentrated clusters of silk and stippling.

1 Apply an organic miticide or insecticide spray to the foliage to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy the webbing.
2 Increase ambient humidity around the lily to discourage mite activity and prevent the webbing from becoming structural.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can exacerbate mite infestations.
warning

Thrips Infestation (secondary web-like appearance)

While thrips do not spin webs, heavy feeding damage can cause silvering and scarring that, when combined with frass (excrement), may appear as a messy, fine residue or silken texture on the lily petals and leaves.

Common

How to confirm: Look for small, dark fecal spots and elongated, slender insects moving within the flower buds.

1 Apply an organic insecticide spray to the lily to eliminate active thrips and prevent further feeding damage.
2 Inspect the plant closely for silvering or scarring on petals and leaves, and remove any heavily infested or damaged foliage to reduce pest populations.
3 Use yellow sticky traps near the plant to capture adult thrips and monitor for any new arrivals.
