The "Ron" you
addressed was another "Ron" not me though I understand his
caution.
A noteable number of plant
kinds including some cacti, succulents & orchids have been grown for
decades in skilled hydroponics & aeroponics but they represent only a
miniscule proportion of the green
planet diversity. Surely one needs to know all the
facts & factors involved before one makes blanket generalisations that
ANY or ALL plants will grow so?

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?
