    Another way of stunting xenia is getting some shade over them.

    My large toadstool leather grew over a couple colonies so light would not get to them, and in no time they shriveled up and died.

    Maybe you need some little umbrellas. ;)

    they get 30 bucks each for them locally

    dang nab it they are really expensive locally,
    I keep looking at them when I visit the store.
    they spread like weeds, maybe one will be worth the cost.

    mine started with one stalk i paid $25 for.i put it between 2 rocks and in 2 days it attached.it will attach to anything it touches and it leaves behind stalks as it slowly travels.by the one month mark you'll be at the,i wonder if the store will buy some of these back stage lol.

    Weeds?????

    I have about a four inch rock of pink xenias...they are not bushy on the end lik pom poms, so I guess they are just regular, lol. Anyway, I have had this rock for a couple months, if I remember correctly. They have begun to spread. There is some on each end but haven't filled the rock yet or moved onto anything else. What will make these babies grow like the weeds y'all say they are? I want weeds....for now anyway, lol. Any help, thanks!!
