Have anyone tried growing Phrags in full water culture?
I have had excellent results with two (Sorcerers Apprentice and a kovachii hybrid I can't remember the name of). But I have air-stone and a heck of a lot of bubbles in my buckets. 3 gallon black buckets, big air pump.
The Sorcerers Apprentice has been in continuous bloom since last January (2017)... Finally cut the spike off last week because I had to move the plants.
Seems to work for phals (maybe the betta is the secret lol)?

Instead of fully submerging the phrag, if one gave it a few centimeters of air space above the water, would that work?
I haven't actually tried this yet, but I have often considered adding one of the smaller phrags to the outflow of my aquarium filter and let the roots grow down into one of my tanks (would just have to add a screen or something to keep the roots out of the filter itself). I have a feeling that it would do quite well like this (since in or near fast moving water is often how many phrags are found in nature). This would basically be "full water culture" though, and I have a feeling it would do quite well like this. Additional benefits of hiding the filter and looking even more awesome when flowering too boot (plus, getting fertilized from fish waste )!
Aquariums are my day job ;-)

Could you post pictures please? How do you feed the phrags?
