Can you grow avocado plants in water indefinitely?

While an avocado seed can sprout and grow in water initially, maintaining a mature plant indefinitely requires a nutrient-rich substrate like soil. Water propagation is excellent for germination, but for sustained growth, flowering, and fruiting, the plant needs a consistent supply of macronutrients and micronutrients that plain water cannot provide long-term.
