Aloha, Inmate.

I just love to see folks:weedpoke:.
So, if you want to try it, feel free.
You could coil a length of "soaker hose" in the bottom of the pot.
They work fine for air.
Tell us how it works out for ya.

Be aware though that "Boner" is correct.
Plant roots get their air from what is dissolved in the water they take in.

Yes they need air, but they also need constant moisture
A dry root, is a dead root.
On the other hand, a root in stagnant water, is a drowned and rotted root.

I have 5 gallons of roots on one bush completely submerged.
Thanks to the 2 airstones in the bucket, she's bigger and healthier than any "mud-girl" I've ever grown.

Your airstone will be put to better use aerating the water that you use just before your Emerald girl's "happy hour."

That's my tupenny :twocents:. (cheap at twice the price)
