But in your case what do they do? If they do grow roots adapted to the water, then I'd assume that likely makes them all the more intolerant of dryness.

I really like your new method, but going from 30-60min soak to an all day soak seems a bit extreme. But if it works in the long run, good for you, and we will have learned something!

I understand your concerns. I really do. But I was also having the issue of time, as well. I would often forget these poor things were steeping in water and I would head off to work. I watch my little girl in the morning and then work in the evening so the plants would often end up in water all day anyway.

But as I've mentioned, too, come morning, their roots are the classic grey color of roots that have successfully dried before the next watering. With the 30-60 min steep, I had roots that suffered the drying of the rest of the day.

So I guess I need a happy medium. I'm not sure what that is.
