Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by LA Hybrids. The fine webbing is a defensive structure used to protect their eggs and move between lily leaves.

Very Common

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite) outbreak

Specific strains of spider mites can cause heavy webbing on larger-leaved lilies like Pantano. This leads to stippling (small yellow dots) on the foliage as they feed on plant cells.

Very Common

warning

Extreme Low Humidity / Desiccation

While not a direct cause of webbing, very low humidity can stress the Pantano Lily and encourage mite populations to boom. This environmental stress makes the plant's cellular structure more vulnerable to piercing-sucking insects.

How to confirm: Check if the surrounding environment has been unusually dry or if there is active heating nearby.
