Why does your Lilium OT Carbonero have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These tiny arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Oriental Lilies like 'Carbonero'. They pierce plant cells to feed on sap, leaving behind fine silken webs as they move across the foliage and flower buds.
Common in greenhouse-grown lilies, this specific mite species creates dense webbing that can eventually cause 'Carbonero' leaves to turn yellow and prematurely drop. The fine webbing is a protective structure for their eggs and larvae.
While not a direct cause of webbing, extreme lack of humidity can stress 'Carbonero' lilies, making them more susceptible to mite attacks. In some cases, very fine strands of dried plant tissue or debris may be mistaken for mite webs during periods of drought.
