Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae)

This is the most common cause of fine webbing on Lilium OT hybrids. These arachnids pierce plant cells to suck out contents, leaving behind characteristic stippling and silk webs around the undersides of leaves.

Very Common

Extreme Low Humidity/Desiccation Stress

While not a biological 'webbing' producer, severe dehydration in OT lilies can cause leaf curling and structural collapse that may trap dust or debris in a way that resembles fine web-like patterns.

Common
