Culturing live rock

I had some live rock which i took out of the tank and broke it apart. It got left out in the dirt for a few days and dried up. Then i took the approx 2-3 inch (size of pointer and middle finger combined) chunk of live rock back into the tank. How long would it take for this chunk to become "live" again so to speak and viable to frag pulsing xenias, zoanthids or any coral for that matter onto??

If it is clean(no dead junk on it) then it can be use right away.

Instantly. It doesn't need to be live to act as a frag plug.
