    OK, So my Xenia is now a monster and I even see three spots where it seems to have sprouted.

    Is this thing like a weed >?

    Can I move the rock it is on to the sand bed where I have a larger area for it to grow >?

    Should I remove the new sprouts ?


    Cheers

    Hey Phoenix
    So does it ever stop growing or is it a constant trim session ?

    I got this and the leather as they were easy for a newbee, but now I wonder if it will be controllable.

    It will grow until it dies. I have moved my rocks with the xenia on them. It's pretty hard to kill them.
