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!

An outsider's view
Format: Paperback
When it comes to Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points, I am a bit of an outsider. I don't read many computer books and, while I have worked with PowerPoint, my presentations are very simple. Since I admittedly use my share of bullet points in these presentations, I thought learning about an alternative approach would be useful. And while there are definite benefits to reading this book, it may not be perfect for everyone. Many people use bullet points in their PowerPoint presentations; this can be a great way to organize thoughts, but Atkinson has a difference approach. Essentially, the Beyond Bullet Points method treats presentations as stories told in three "acts." Act One develops the story, Act Two develops the action and Act Three frames the resolution. Each act is broken down into scenes which provide the details. The first portion of the book explains how to work with each act; the second portion deals with the evolution from initial outline to final presentation. This book assumes a certain amount of PowerPoint knowledge; if you want to learn about the application, this is not the place to start (on the other hand, you don't need to be a PowerPoint expert). One of the nicest things about Atkinson's approach is the way he allows presentations to be pared down to fit the time frame required: his method is designed best with a 45 minute presentation, but it can be easily compressed to a 15 minute or even 5 minute presentation. Another nice thing is that he has a website that readers can access that provides some helpful materials such as template documents. On the other hand, Atkinson treats the issue of bullet points/no bullet points as something of a black-and-white issue. He doesn't really acknowledge that there may be a middle ground where bullet points should be used in certain situations, perhaps even in conjunction with his approach. I think it's more appropriate to view the Beyond Bullet Points as an alternative approach to PowerPoint presentations, not the ONLY approach. Atkinson's writing style is straightforward, and like many computer books, a little dry. But as stated earlier, I am reading this book with something of an outsider's view. This is a good book, but Atkinson's inability to look beyond his own approach keeps it from being a five-star work. Nonetheless, if you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, there is enough useful material in here to merit a read.

A Refreshing Approach to Presentations
Format: Paperback
I ran across this book while researching a college workshop on perfecting presentation, dealing with public speaking and effective use of PowerPoint. As one who has suffered through numerous electronic slides that did little or nothing to augment the speaker's efforts, I was delighted to see this fresh and innovative approach. I believe this process works best, however, when one's speech is primarily persuasive in nature. Although these ideas helped me set up a strong introduction and conclusion, in a recent lecture I resorted to bullet points for the material I felt the students had to master. Perhaps as I get more used to Atkinson's technique, I'll better about using it in lecture. However, the business applications seem quite worthwhile. My students' workshop presentations that used his techniques were highly engaging. I highly recommend this book and the supporting web site.

Simplistic and Inappropriate
Format: Paperback
I was hoping this book would provide insights into how to present complex information in a more comprehensible, useful format, using PowerPoint as the tool. Instead, the overall gist of this book is that presentations should be "dumbed down" as much as possible. The theme the author presents is that presentations should be story based. This is reasonable. However, the method the author recommends is that essentially *all* meaningful, complex (or, as the author prefers "boring") content be removed from the presentation. Presentations then become nothing more than catchy headlines and colorful graphics. All content should be in the presenter's notes (not typically to be provided). This is juvenile and useless and frankly reflects a complete lack of understanding of how presentations are made in a complex business environment.

On the right track
Format: Paperback
This book is a good introduction about how to use story-telling techniques in PowerPoint presentations. There are some good ideas here that you won't find in technical manuals. If you don't know film techniques these will be eye-opening. But the book could have been much stronger if it were to push these concepts to the next level. I saw a PowerPoint presentation with Andy Goodman, who teaches more or less the same thing, and his presentation nailed these concepts more cleanly than this book does. But again, this book is definitely worth checking out if you haven't studied storytelling before.
