Introducing the Cobweb Hens and Chicks, known as Sempervivum arachnoideum, which is a vibrant mat-forming succulent plant, that belongs to the Sempervivum genus. The Sepervivum arachnoideum has several other common names such as Cobweb Houseleek, Cobweb sedum, or Spiderweb Hens and Chicks because of its fine, web-like hairs that cover its leaves. 

The webs on Sempervivum arachnoideum, are actually a natural characteristic of the plant. These webs, made up of silvery-white hairs, serve a few purposes. They help protect the plant from excessive sunlight by providing some shade. The webs can help trap moisture around the leaves, acting as a natural insulation and reducing water loss. Additionally, the webs add a unique and visually appealing feature to the plant, making it stand out among other succulents. 

The Hens and Chicks plants form tight evergreen rosettes of fleshy, pointed leaves that are covered in silvery-white hairs, resembling a spiderweb. The leaves have a green or reddish coloration, depending on the variety. With a fast growth rate, it can grow up to 3 inches tall and 12 inches wide, which creates a beautiful, textured carpet-like effect.

Sempervivum arachnoideum crested is a unique variant of Sempervivum arachnoideum distinguished by its distinctive crested fan-shaped growth pattern.  

The Sempervivum arachnoideum flower blooms in late summer and produces tall flower stalks that rise from the center of the rosettes. The flowers are star-shaped and can vary in color, ranging from pink to red or even yellow. The monocarpic plant will produce numerous chicks before dying, with offsets or "chicks" around the mother plant's base after flowering. 

The Cobweb Hens and Chicks can be propagated through offsets or leaf cuttings. The offsets, which are the small rosettes that grow around the mother plant, can be carefully separated and replanted to establish new plants. Additionally, individual leaves can be removed and rooted to grow new plants. This succulent is relatively easy to propagate, making it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts. 

Remember, the Cobweb Hens and Chicks Sempervivum arachnoideum are generally considered non-toxic to both humans and pets. Sempervivums, like many cacti and succulents, require little maintenance once established and will survive near-total neglect.  

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, the Sempervivum arachnoideum has adapted to survive in arid conditions, which means it prefers drier soil. It's important to allow the soil to dry out completely between regular watering to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot and other issues. Aim for a watering schedule of once every 1-2 weeks in the summer, during the growing season, and even less frequently during the winter months when it goes into a dormant phase. 

When watering your Cobweb Hens and Chicks Sempervivum arachnoideum, it's important to water the soil directly rather than spraying or misting the leaves. This helps prevent excess moisture from getting trapped in the cobweb-like threads and causing rot. Water the soil thoroughly until it is evenly moist, but avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can also lead to root rot. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater rather than overwater your Hens and Chicks plant. These Sempervivum arachnoideum succulents are quite resilient and can tolerate short periods of drought. Observing the leaves can also give you an indication of when to water. If the leaves start to appear slightly wrinkled or feel soft, it's a sign that your Hens and Chicks plant is thirsty and could use a drink. 

Light Requirements 

When it comes to growing Sempervivum arachnoideum indoors, they thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a south or west-facing window where they will get plenty of sunlight throughout the day. If you don't have access to a lot of natural light, you can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light intensity for the plant. 

If you decide to grow your Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks outdoors, they prefer a spot with full sun to partial sun. These plants can handle direct sunlight, but they may appreciate some protection from intense afternoon sun, especially in hotter climates. A location that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight per day is generally ideal for their growth and color development. 

It's critical to remember that during a heatwave or periods of extreme heat, your Sempervivum arachnoideum could still sustain sun damage or get sunburned. You can protect the plant in this situation by moving it indoors or to a shaded area. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Cobweb Hens and Chicks prefer well-draining soil that allows excess water to escape easily. A good mix for these succulent plants is a combination of regular potting soil and coarse sand or perlite. This mixture helps prevent the roots from sitting in too much water alone, which can lead to root rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

The Sempervivum arachnoideum are generally low-maintenance plants and don't require heavy fertilization. In fact, they can do well without any additional fertilizers. However, if you want to give them a little boost, you can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, only once a year during the growing season, which is typically spring. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when it is in a dormant phase. 

Remember that Sempervivum arachnoideum is native to rocky, mountainous regions, so replicating its natural habitat is key. Make sure to select a fast-draining soil with adequate drainage. As for fertilization, it's better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize, as excessive nutrients can cause the plants to become leggy or lose their vibrant colors. Always follow the instructions and err on the side of caution. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When planted indoors, the Sempervivum arachnoideum prefers temperatures between 50°F and 65°F. They can tolerate slightly lower temperatures during their dormant period in winter. It's important to place them in a well-lit area, preferably near a sunny window where they can receive at least 4 to 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day. 

If you are living in USDA zones 5-8, you can grow your Cobweb Hens and Chicks outdoors in the garden, year-round. They are generally frost-tolerant and can survive temperatures as low as 20°F. However, it's important to ensure good drainage in the soil to prevent waterlogging during heavy rain or snow. 

As for humidity, they are adaptable and can tolerate a variety of humidity levels, from dry to moderately humid environments. It can tolerate average indoor humidity, but it's important to avoid excessively dry conditions. You can increase the humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water near it or by using a humidifier. 

So, no matter where you live, as long as you provide the right temperature, humidity, and Sempervivum care, your Cobweb hens and Chicks will be happy and healthy!

Worthwhile read.
Format: Kindle
The first few chapters would perhaps been worth 10 stars the remaining chapters not so much although it was good information. It became a bit monotonous but all in all it’s still a five star book.

Open our eyes
Format: Paperback
I recently finished reading Joash's very insightful, inspirational, and encouraging book.  I hope it is read and implemented far and wide.  His interpretation of Jesus and "the church" is as close to the spirit of Scripture as I can find.  Twenty years ago, I read "Jesus and the Disinherited" by Howard Thurman that led me to places and situations and cultures and events which were not part of my own life's context. It was Jesus' context and I began to understand his lessons through his eyes instead of my own.  Joash, like Howard Thurman, is right - we colonized, Caucasian, Western civilization folks just don't get it.  But we should and we need to. Open your mind to read this book and see things through God's eyes. Thank you Joash!! We should all look for ways to extend this teaching to others. "...thy will be done, on Earth [all of earth and humanity] as it is [and will be] in Heaven.

A Bold, Pastoral Call to Decolonize the Gospel
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
When I began my journey of theological deconstruction, I quickly realized that shedding the harmful elements of conservative white evangelicalism wasn’t enough. The deeper I went, the more I saw how white Christianity remains entangled with colonial narratives that uphold social and sexual hierarchies and distort the liberating truth of the Gospel. Rev. Joash Thomas’s *The Justice of Jesus* is the book I didn’t know I needed. His voice has profoundly shaped my theological imagination, and this work is a masterclass in liberation ecclesial theology. With clarity and courage, he names the perversion of white, colonialist, slaveholder theology and invites readers to confront its lingering presence in our churches, our pulpits, and our lives. What sets this book apart is its balance of prophetic fire and pastoral tenderness. Rev. Joash never veers into cynicism or outrage for outrage’s sake. Instead, he offers practical, Spirit-led guidance for reclaiming the Gospel from the sin of colonialism and whiteness. He casts a vision of Eucharistic unity, a table wide enough to defy empire and deep enough to hold our collective liberation in Christ. This book emboldened me to use my voice and privilege to pursue the decolonization of theological practice in my own context. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone seeking a Gospel that liberates, heals, and restores.

Un libro necesario para la iglesia hoy
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
As a believer from the Global South. As a child who first heard the liberating message of Jesus through integral mission in Latin America. Yet, over the years, I was also exposed to a highly colonized version of the gospel—one that increasingly abandoned the most vulnerable and aligned itself with a form of Christianity distant from real human needs. Reading this book restores my hope, not because change will come quickly or easily, but because it opens the space for the necessary conversations of reevaluation. Joash, in a very direct way, lays out the causes and effects of inherently unjust colonizing systems that have broken entire societies, and shows how these systems have permeated the way we live out the gospel of Jesus. By bringing these to light in various areas, he challenges the Western church to reconsider its practices, to move alongside the oppressed, and to become aware of its own shortcomings. At the same time, he reminds us that hope remains, that we have much to learn from the Global South, and that there are many silenced voices that must urgently be heard.
