I've thought of growing CPs in a hydroponic system, were they root are completely in water, but do no rot because it is high in oxygen.

The system shown is a wick system. Not really hydroponics. This system works great for just about anything! If you have to leave for long tiime this system is perfect! It keeps the soil just moist. As the soil dries out it "wicks" water up the length of fabric into the soil. When the soil is saturated it stops "wicking". I've used it on house plants with great results. The concept is very similar to the aqua globes.

I know, but i'm saying that maybe a hydroponic system could work aswell
