    Day 38...It's pulsing like crazy today, cant get a full open shot but you can see the stalk is starting to widen and grow over the frag rock.

    Looking really good, and what a big difference there is from day 1 to now.

    Yeah, I'm very happy with this specimen all around. It's very hardy and doesn't need too much as far as TLC. Kinda' like a plant, Just keep it watered...:beer2::grinthumbs:

    I got a pink pulsing Xenia that stayed as one stalk for a long time till a friend asked me to frag a piece for em. So I leaned up a piece of rubble next to it and it immediately took off and started spreading like crazy in like a week...if you actually want it to spread. Personally I wish I still had that one nice looking stalk lol.

    I think I like the stalk look, almost tree like. I was wondering if it would ever take off and spread out like I've seen. I've seen some that were 4 inches tall, and just one big trunk holding it up.

    My xenia still continues to grow. I think I have 6 seperate heads now where the trunk (probably not the right term) kinda brushed up against the adjacent wall & left a little skin residue that turned into a new plant. While all of mine are still very small I can see long term how people label it as a weed.
