Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

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.

Very Common

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

1 Apply an organic insecticide/miticide spray to the foliage to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs.
2 Increase humidity around the lily by using a fine mist spray to create an environment less favorable to mite reproduction.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can exacerbate mite infestations.

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite)

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.

Very Common

How to confirm: Inspect the underside of the orange lily petals and leaves for small, reddish or orange moving dots.

1 Apply an organic miticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs, larvae, and adults.
2 Increase humidity around the lily by misting the leaves regularly, as spider mites thrive in dry conditions.
3 Inspect the undersides of all leaves and remove heavily infested foliage to prevent the mites from spreading to other plants.

High Humidity/Low Airflow Fungal Residue

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.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the fine threads are attached to organic matter or specifically emerging from the plant's leaf surface.

1 Apply an organic fungicide to eliminate fungal hyphae and protect the lily from further spread.
2 Improve air circulation around the plant by using a small fan or spacing plants further apart to reduce stagnant humidity.
3 Prune and remove any heavily spotted or discolored leaves to prevent the fungus from colonizing healthy tissue.
