Yes, you can grow them in hydroponic

I tend to repot pretty quickly after buying from big box stores because their soil isn’t great and prone to overwatering issues. You can definitely grow them in hydroponics, though bear in mind that eventually you’ll need hydroponic fertilizer so it gets some nutrients. For non hydroponic, repot into a very chunky well draining soil (cactus soil with equal parts orchid bark and perlite works great) in a pot that’s no more than 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball. Then only repot once it’s really root bound.
