I've been looking into water culture myself. I haven't tried it yet, but I've picked up a few things. I would expect the roots to die since they are not adapted to the water culture environment, but new ones should come right out and they will be adjusted to the new environment. From what I've read, an air pump or something like that isn't necessary, since the algae provides the roots with oxygen. Although it might be interesting to experiment with an air pump.
I'm hoping to experiment with water culture in my horticulture class this semester. If I do, I'll be sure to post my experience. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for anyone else trying it too!
