Please excuse me, I am entirely a newbie.

Any help is extremely appreciated!!

I am trying to grow an Areca Palm indoors. They grow to be up to 7 feet tall.

I need soilless because I don't want any risk at all of bugs, etc. I just prefer the idea.

I have an idea to make a deep water culture system. Just to take a large plastic planter (maybe two feet diameter), drill a hole in the top side, and feed an air pump tube through that hole, putting a stone on the end of that tube. I'll fill the planter with nutrient solution to the top almost. Then I'll put my net pot on top with ceramic balls in it and transfer a local garden store plant from its soil pot to my system.

Will this work? I want to keep the plant for several years. Can I just add more nutrient solution as time goes on?

Thanks so much!!
