Why does your Sedum tetractinum 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 preferred by Sedum tetractinum. They pierce the succulent cells to suck out sap, leaving behind fine silken webs and causing stippling on the leaves.
While slightly less common than the two-spotted variety, these mites create characteristic webbing on succulents. They tend to cause a more bronzed or reddish appearance to the stonecrop's foliage.
