Hey Joker...
Get a tray or some resivoir that your pot can sit in and fill it with perlite or hydroton rocks... the roots will grow in this medium... and you wont have to worry to much about them drowing or drying... . .... you could even get a slab of rock wool and set your pot on that... the roots will dig right IN

sitting directly in STILL water is not good... dry is not good either... but if there is some water at the bottom.. let say 1 inch or 2 inches.. and you have perlite... the roots will be fine
