Why does your Lilium LA hybrid Millburn have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These arachnids thrive in hot, dry conditions common during lily blooming periods, feeding on the undersides of Millburn leaves and secreting silk that forms fine webs. This piercing-sucking damage leads to stippling and eventual leaf senescence.
Commonly affecting Lilium species, these mites create much finer, almost invisible webbing on the leaf surfaces and buds. They are particularly prevalent in late summer when humidity levels drop significantly.
While less common than spider mites, these soil/debris mites can cause silk-like structures around the base of the lily bulb or leaf sheath in high-organic matter environments.
