Default Re: D. paradoxa 'Drysdale'

Nice! Hey Cindy, you have a lot more experience with these guys than me, so I'll ask your opinion; That pair is so nice together that I probably wouldn't risk anything, but I wonder; if you put them in a very wide tray of water (even on a short stand in the tray so they aren't water logged), when the roots hit the water would they start to immediately form plantlets?
I've been playing around growing some stuff in my old hydroponic tables and finding that what I thought were all the 'old rules' have twists to them...Hoyas, which shouldn't like hydro-conditions, if grown that way from seed onwards, thrive! I'm getting really thick plants from seed in no time at all and the new shoots laying in the water are super-rooted and ready for cutting/transplanting in 2 weeks!
I'm thinking/wondering if when the roots find themselves totally immersed would they have a tendancy to start immediately forming plants to emerge into the air?
