Why does your Lilium oriental Striker have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These tiny arachnids thrive in warm, dry conditions and feed on the undersides of Lily leaves, piercing cells to suck out contents. The fine webbing is a classic defensive structure used by mite colonies to move across the plant.
Common in Oriental lilies, these mites cause fine webbing and characteristic yellow stippling on the foliage. They are particularly aggressive when humidity levels drop below 50%.
While not a direct cause of webbing, extremely dry air can weaken the Lily's cuticle, making it easier for spider mites to colonize. This often presents as desiccated leaf edges alongside existing fine webs.
