Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

These microscopic arachnids thrive in the warm, dry conditions often experienced by Viola cornuta. They pierce the leaf cells to suck out nutrients, leaving behind fine silk webbing and characteristic stippling.

Very Common

1 Immediately spray the plant with an organic insecticide/miticide to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs.
2 Increase humidity around the plant and ensure it is not in a dry, hot area, as spider mites thrive in arid conditions.
3 Check the soil moisture levels regularly to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can weaken its defenses.

Tetranychid Mite Infestation (General)

Other species of spider mites can produce much denser webbing, especially in the crevices of the Viola's low-growing foliage. This occurs when humidity drops significantly below 50%.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the undersides of the yellow petals and lower leaves for tiny, moving organisms.

1 Apply an organic miticide to eliminate the spider mites and destroy any remaining eggs or larvae on the foliage.
2 Increase ambient humidity around the Viola by using a pebble tray or frequent misting to make the environment less hospitable for mites.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can exacerbate mite infestations.
warning

Thrips (Phrynoptera spp.)

While thrips are primarily known for silvery scarring on petals, their movement can sometimes disturb fine silk strands or be accompanied by silken tubes in very high populations.

Common

How to confirm: Look for small, elongated black or pale insects darting between the flower clusters.

1 Apply an organic insecticide spray to the plant to eliminate the thrips population and disrupt their life cycle.
2 Use yellow sticky traps near the plant to capture adult thrips and monitor the severity of the infestation.
3 Inspect the undersides of leaves and petals for any remaining pests and wipe the plant down with a damp cloth to remove silk strands.
