Plumeria reference showing fine stippling, bronzing, or webbingCondition reference
Fine stippling, bronzing, or webbingLook for many tiny pale pinpoints, dull bronzing, fine webbing, eggs, or moving mites beneath the leaf.
Healthy plumeria leaves with even green color, intact margins, and clean upper and lower surfacesHealthy baseline
Healthy leaf comparisonAllow for normal differences in cultivar, leaf age, and sunlight while checking for spreading or structural changes.
  • LocationCheck which plant part, age of growth, and exposed or protected side is affected.
  • TextureDecide whether the evidence is dry, powdery, sticky, raised, translucent, soft, or intact.
  • ProgressionPhotograph the same area so you can tell whether the pattern is stable, improving, or spreading.

Use more than one clue. Confirm the photo with recent conditions, roots, watering history, and the rest of the plant before acting.

Webbing is fine silk-like material produced by spider mites and some insects. On plumeria, fine webbing on leaf undersides or between leaves can support a spider mite diagnosis when stippling and bronzing are also present.
