Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Oriental lilies. They feed on the underside of the leaves, injecting toxins that cause stippling and create fine silk webbing to protect their colonies.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper underneath a lily leaf and tap the leaf sharply to see if tiny moving specks drop onto the paper.

1 Apply an organic miticide or insecticide to the plant, ensuring you spray the undersides of the leaves thoroughly to eliminate the mite colonies and eggs.
2 Increase humidity around the lily by using a fine mist spray to create an environment that is less hospitable to spider mites.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not becoming too dry, as drought stress can exacerbate mite infestations.
warning

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite)

A specific strain of mite that is highly aggressive on Lilium species. The webbing often becomes denser around new growth and flower buds as the population increases, eventually leading to leaf chlorosis.

Common

How to confirm: Examine the underside of the lily leaves for tiny red or orange dots which indicate the presence of adult mites.

1 Apply an organic miticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs, larvae, and adults.
2 Increase humidity around the plant and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to physically remove webbing and discourage mite re-infestation.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can exacerbate mite attacks.
warning

High Humidity/Mold Mycelium

While less common as 'webbing,' certain fungal pathogens can create a fine, white, hair-like appearance on lily foliage in extremely stagnant, moist environments. This is often mistaken for mite webs but lacks the structural silk strength.

Common

How to confirm: Check if the 'webbing' feels fuzzy or organic rather than silky and whether it disappears when you wipe it with a damp cloth.

1 Improve air circulation around the lily foliage to reduce stagnant moisture and prevent fungal growth.
2 Apply an organic fungicide to treat the white, hair-like mycelium and protect healthy plant tissues.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely to ensure the environment does not remain excessively damp.
