Flower taught me some valuable tips about xenia when I got mine a while ago.
1.) they are very hard to kill. even if it looks dead it probably isnt. I beleive it was Flower who told methat hers melted into goo one time and came back ok. If not for that information i would have thrown mine out. after my tank move i forgot the xenia in the holding tub with no heater for 4 hours. it was melted and stunk something awful. I put it back in the tank anyways and the next day it was full and the stalks were white like they should be. 2 weeks after that they started pulsing.
2.) nobody knows why they pulse. if you're doesnt its not the end of the world. mine went for 3 months with no pulsing and then one day. pulse pulse pulse.
3.) they do tend to spread, mine has split from 2 medium sized stalks to 4 mediaums and 3 smalls in the 3 moths Ive had it. I beleive flower says they move UP if they can.
good luck
