Title: Re: Aroids growing better in water?
Ron, I beg to differ. As I stated earlier....ANY plant can be grown hydroponically including Phalaenopsis. BUT if you take a plant that has been growing under traditional situations and suddenly plunge THAT root system into water...yes it will die. Plants started in water will develop a different set of roots adapted to such a situation.

Phalanopsis cannot sit in water and live very long!!! I hope nobody took you literally.

Even epiphytic orchids, apparently.  I saw several yesterday at a friend's--including a Phalaenopsis!

I would venture to say that just about ANY plant can be grown in water (hydroponically).

Folks!
 
I am still wondering....!
 
Put simply:
 
What terrestrial aroid species have you found to grow as well or better in water?
