  •   Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks is a charming frost hardy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky alpine regions of the Alps, Apennines, and Carpathian Mountains in Europe. It thrives naturally in poor, rocky soils at high elevations, making it one of the toughest little rosette-forming plants you can grow.

      The most eye-catching feature of Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks is the fine white webbing stretched across each rosette, mimicking a spider's cobweb spun from tip to tip. Rosettes are compact, typically 1 to 3 inches across, with fleshy green leaves edged in that signature white fuzz. The plant clusters freely, with the mother hen pushing out small chick offsets in every direction for an ever-expanding mat of textured, silvery-green rosettes.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks produces star-shaped pink to rosy-red flower clusters on upright stalks during summer, typically once the rosette matures. After a monocarpic bloom the flowering rosette dies back, but surrounding chicks quickly fill the gap. A cool night temperature drop encourages blooming, so plants kept outdoors in late spring benefit most from this natural cue.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks is a rewarding, easy care plant for rock gardens, alpine troughs, containers, balcony planters, and even green roof projects. It handles balcony wind and rain without complaint, tolerates dry heated air indoors, and can move outside for summer or stay outdoors through autumn with no fuss. This is a genuinely pet friendly plant, so no worries if a curious cat or dog investigates the rosettes. Collectors love adding cobweb hens and chicks to sempervivum collections for its distinctive webbed texture, and it survives a 10-day trip alone without any babysitting.

  •   Sempervivum arachnoideum Cobweb Hens and Chicks thrives in partial sun to full sun, needing at least 4 to 6 hours of bright light daily.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
