I am setting up a separated area for some pulsing xenia. A local guy on Craigslist is selling frags but I have seen multiple times that xenia cannot handle dipping. Would taking it off of the plug and not dipping it be good enough or am I asking for trouble?
 
Hey i just purchased a pulsing xenia frag from lfs and i was scared about the same thing. I dipped yesterday and today xenia looks great!
 
I've dipped xenia with Revive with no issue in the past.
 
I’ve dropped it on the floor, cut it with scissors, the only thing that killed it was 0 nitrate.
