I would guess that it probably would grow in water. These plants can grow quite moist. Keep in mind that I have not put a Milt. into water before.

But why put it into water culture if it is doing well in bark or sphag. I have only put plants into water if their roots have rotted

I am having problems with it so I thought I will take it out of the pot look at the roots and thought I might have to do water culture. It looks dry all the time but have been watering every 5 days. It is in Lava Rock right now.

I think the lava rock might be your problem. It is notorious for collecting and holding fertilizer salts and mineral deposits that end up burning the roots.

Cheers.
Jim

Thanks for the info. I did not know that about Lava Rock. Been growing orchids for 7 years and still always finding out something new.
