Why does your Lilium Labrador 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 Oriental lilies. They feed on the underside of the leaves, injecting toxins that cause stippling and create fine silk webbing to protect their colonies.
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.
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.
