I'm clueless about how to manage Arachnoideums. I love both the mounded form and the magic carpet look. But I'm a big wimp and get nervous when I see rosettes getting swallowed up. Won't they die and rot in there and cause issues???

Here's 'Pygmlian' that I just divided cuz I was nervous about the unsymmetical, lumpy heap it was growing into. The larger part that remains still makes me kinda nervous.

How 'bout this guy? Can I just let it get bigger and bigger? Something's gotta give... right?
Won't it get wet an gooey inside there in the Winter?

Here's 'Martin 1' that I got earlier this year. I planted out the four rosettes I received and they've practically carpeted the area. Do I just let them keep on doing their own thing?

And here's that infamous weed 'Fords Spring'. Every time I see it I have to resist the urge to pop its top off.
