Why does your Lilium LA Hybrid Orange Tycoon have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Lilium LA hybrids. They pierce plant cells to feed on sap, leaving behind fine silk webbing as they create colonies around the lily foliage.
Common in lilies, these mites cause fine webbing particularly on the undersides of leaves. As the infestation progresses, you will see tiny yellow stippling dots where the plant tissue has been damaged.
While less common as 'webbing,' certain fungal hyphae can appear as fine, thread-like structures in extremely stagnant, humid environments. This is usually accompanied by leaf spotting or discoloration.
