Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

These microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Lilium LA hybrids. They pierce the lily leaf cells to suck out contents, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create protective colonies.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper underneath a leaf and tap it sharply to see if tiny specks fall off and move.

1 Immediately spray the lily leaves, especially the undersides, with an organic insecticide to kill existing mites and larvae.
2 Increase humidity around the plant and avoid dry, warm air to make the environment less hospitable for spider mite colonies.
3 Check the soil moisture regularly to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can trigger mite outbreaks.

Bliss Spider Mite (Panonychus citri)

Common in ornamental lilies, these mites produce much finer, less visible webbing than the two-spotted variety. They tend to congregate on the undersides of the leaves, causing stippling and eventual bronzing of the lily foliage.

Common

How to confirm: Examine the underside of the leaves with a magnifying glass for tiny, slow-moving yellowish dots.

1 Apply an organic miticide or insecticide spray to the undersides of the leaves to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs.
2 Increase humidity around the lily foliage and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to physically remove webbing and dislodge mites.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely, as spider mites thrive in dry conditions; use a moisture meter to ensure the plant remains adequately hydrated.
warning

High Humidity/Condensation Webbing

In extremely humid environments, certain fungal hyphae or bacterial exudates can sometimes appear as a fine, misty coating that mimics webbing. This is less common but occurs when airflow around the large Manado lily leaves is restricted.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the 'webbing' disappears when you wipe it with a dry cloth or if it feels slimy rather than structural.

1 Improve airflow around the lily foliage by spacing plants further apart or using a small fan to prevent moisture from settling on the leaves.
2 Monitor the humidity levels around the plant to ensure it does not stay consistently saturated, which can encourage fungal growth.
3 Gently wipe the leaves with a clean, dry cloth to remove any accumulated bacterial exudates or fungal hyphae.
