Why does your Lilium OT Motown have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The fine webbing is a classic hallmark of spider mites, which thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by OT Hybrids like Motown. These arachnids pierce plant cells to feed, causing the characteristic stippling (tiny white dots) on lily foliage.
Often occurring alongside two-spotted mites, these pests are highly prevalent in lilies during summer heatwaves. They create dense silk webs to protect themselves and their eggs from predators and desiccation.
While less common than pests, certain fungal pathogens can produce a thread-like appearance that mimics webbing in extremely stagnant, humid environments. However, this is usually accompanied by leaf decay rather than clean silk structures.
