Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

These microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Oriental lilies. They pierce 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 underneath a lily leaf and tap the leaf sharply to see if tiny specks fall onto the paper.

1 Apply an organic insecticide/miticide spray to the plant, ensuring you thoroughly coat the undersides of the leaves where the mites reside.
2 Increase local humidity around the lily by using a fine mist spray to create an environment that is less favorable for spider mite reproduction.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not experiencing drought stress, which can exacerbate mite infestations.

Southern Yellow Stickiness (Spider Mite Egg Sacs/Silk)

In high humidity or late-stage infestations, spider mites produce denser webbing to protect eggs. This can make the lily foliage appear dusty or coated in a fine mesh.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the leaf axils (where the leaf meets the stem) for tiny white or yellowish dots that may be eggs trapped in the web.

1 Apply an organic insecticide spray to the foliage to eliminate spider mites, eggs, and the protective silk webbing.
2 Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove existing dust, debris, and visible egg sacs from the lily foliage.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the environment does not become excessively humid, which can encourage mite density.
warning

Thrips Infestation

While thrips primarily cause silvering or scarring on lily petals and leaves, their movement and feeding can sometimes result in a slight silken appearance or debris that mimics fine webbing.

Common

How to confirm: Look for small, elongated dark insects or 'stippling' (tiny silvery spots) on the lily leaves.

1 Apply an organic insecticide spray to the lily to eliminate active thrips and prevent further feeding damage.
2 Inspect the undersides of leaves and flower petals for any remaining pests or debris, and wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
3 Use yellow sticky traps near the plant to capture adult thrips and monitor for any new infestations.
