📜 Backstory
'Silver Tip' (often a Heteroxenia) is a long-circulating trade form distinguished by tip coloration rather than a named designer lineage. It's propagated freely throughout the hobby with no documented mother colony. Pricing stays low because it grows and detaches frags on its own.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place mid-to-high on a dedicated rock under moderate light; like all xenia, keep it isolated to contain its rapid spread.
