soo I recently bought a flat piece of rock with seperate Xenia stalks on it, and about 3 days ago I decided to clip the rock in half since it was thin and flat, so I could have the xenias in different places. But when I did it I put them back where they were, right next to eachother so I could slowly move one to where I wanted it. But for some reason, one seems to be doing great, but the other.. Not so much. The one kinda lost some color, and now it's sorta purplish instead of the creamy pink color, and it's not as.. "Perky" I guess you could say hahah. But I was just wondering if any of you guys might be able to tell me what might be going on with it? That would be really awesome hahah :D
(I tried to get the best photo I could with them both in the picture, I apologize for the bad phone camera quality hahah. And the lighting is better than it looks haha, I guess I can thank my phone for that haha:rolleyes:)

My bet is it is just stressed and will recover. Maybe that one got handled more than the other. I had one shipped to me that looked far worse than yours, and I was convinced it was dead. After a few weeks it had recovered and eventually grew like crazy!

Ohh okay, phew hahah. But the rock actually had 3 on it and a few days later one of the stalks already started to split into 3 hahah, and I actually have 4 frag size pieces with one splitting and I moved them all next to eachother closer to the light so hopefully they'll be fine :D you can see the color of the 3 compared to the one in the back, good thing the good looking one is the one that's splitting hahaha
