Are my xenia spreading?

[jimmy 4]

Ive had these xenia for a while and i almost killed them a while back when i
negleted to change or top off my water for a couple of months.
Here they are a while after I almost killed them. They were just little pink buttons before this, I thought they were dead for sure.

Here they are now
Are they beginnig to spread?

it my little bit of experience with these, i would say it looks to me like they are branching off. whatever you are doing, it seems that it is right. don't change a thing.
maybe put a small piece of rock next to the stalk. that way it can jump on and you can move the new stalk to another area of your tank. that's what i did. it's mother nature's method of fragging

yeah they are growing but not spreading. They look real healthy now, much better than the 1rst pic. I did the same thing killing mine completely I thought. Just over the past month though a rock that I dont even remember having it in the first place began sprouting some back up. If you want it to spread you have to put a rock next to the base of it and have water flow going in the direction of the rock you want it to spread to. I had a piece on one small frag rock and I just wedged the frag rock next to whatever rock I wanted it to grow on.

all of it came from this little frag that was even smaller when I got it

Not spreading per say, but definately growing! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the info. I hope they grow all over my tank.
Im doing a lot better at keeping things in check now that ive found
that my grocery store sells RO water. Before i was using well water.
