Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

Spider mites thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Oriental Lilies. They feed on the undersides of leaves, injecting toxins that result in characteristic fine silken webbing across the foliage.

Very Common

Tetranychus urticae (European Red Spider Mite)

A specific subset of spider mites that are highly aggressive on Lilium species. The webbing serves as a protective micro-environment for their eggs and larvae while they drain the plant's chlorophyll.

Very Common

High Humidity/Microclimate Mold

While rare, extremely dense fungal mycelium in stagnant, high-humidity environments can occasionally mimic fine web-like structures on lily foliage.

Common
