Dude... are you saying your Arachnoideums rot without rain protection? Regardless of arrangement? Crying I didn't have any Arachs rot last winter... but I only had a handful. I have more this year, and more congestion.

Hmmm... I think I need two things:

1) Knowledge of each cultivar's growing habit
2) Patience

I have neither. D'Oh! Consider the following two cases:

This one I planted hoping it would drape down on gossamer threads and adorn those rock faces. Epic fail 1.

This one I hoped would bunch up in that rock crevice. Instead this one made long thread-like stolons that I had to push back and stack on top of each other. Epic fail 2.

I think I'll take the second one and put him where he can drape down a creviced rock face.
