The kenya tree can be mounted using some superglue (gel). Bothe the xenia and the kenya tree will multiply on its own. My kenya tree keeps dropping "branches" which will float around for a bit then attach themselves everywhere and grow out.

ok so if I find pieces that fall off leave sounds easy my xenia had developed a bulgde similar to a blister that has opened is that another head popping out I also have noticed what I first thought to be algae bubbles growing on my tree after looking closer they have two openings or tubes similar to a clam without the shell they are very small any idea what they could be

The xenia will use those "blisters" to move around. Xenia will move around an area untill it finds a suitable place. The "blisters" do sometimes form new heads. Could you take a picture of the tubes, it will make it easier to ID them.

You can either attach them (look down when you click post a to reply and you will see "manage attachments" further down the page), or you can use an online host like imageshack, then copy and post the link to the image in your post.
