Sempervivum arachnoideum is a Sempervivum genus succulent plant, with white threads like spider silk on the plant, very peculiar, so what are its propagation methods?
The propagation methods of Sempervivum arachnoideum include sowing, division and beheading cuttings. Generally, the simplest division method is used. Remove the small side shoots, insert them into slightly moist soil, and wait for them to root in a cool and ventilated place. The soil used for cuttings can be the same as that used for mature plants.
1. Division propagation of Sempervivum arachnoideum
