Why does your Phalaenopsis Aberdeen have fine webbing? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The presence of fine, silk-like webbing is the hallmark sign of a spider mite infestation. These microscopic pests pierce the Phalaenopsis leaves to suck out chlorophyll, often leaving behind tiny yellow stippling.
While Phalaenopsis love humidity, stagnant, moist air can cause fungal mycelium to form web-like structures on leaf surfaces. This is often accompanied by a slight musty smell or darkened leaf patches.
While thrips typically cause silvery streaks or dark scarring, their movement and excrement can sometimes lead to secondary fungal growth that looks like fine, irregular web-like patterns on the orchid's surface.
