For dealing with Xenia I'll cut close to the rock, or if I don't want it growing back in the same place (often what's left of the cutting will growback) is I'll gently pull of the rock using a dental pick.

For resecuring I do the needle at thread method. With a needle push some thread through the base and then just tie to a piece of LR rubble. Drop the rubble with the Xenia attached where you want it growing.

I suppose if the xenia is located in a low or moderate flow area the thread will not pull through the stalk? How long does it normally take for xenia to become one with the rock?
