Why does your Lilium hybride Menorca have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These microscopic arachnids pierce the cell walls of Lily leaves to suck out nutrients, leaving behind fine silken webs as they move and lay eggs. In Lilium hybrids, outbreaks are common when humidity is low and temperatures are high.
While less common than two-spotted varieties, certain eriophyid mites can create fine, irregular webbing or stippling on lily foliage. They thrive in specific microclimates within dense lily beds.
While thrips primarily cause silvering or necrotic spotting on Lilium petals and leaves, their movement can sometimes be associated with fine debris or silk-like structures if secondary fungal growth occurs due to feeding wounds.
