Do you think you could just put the plants in stones to grow??

The problem comes when it is time to divide.
Especially if you wait too long, like me.
Pond plants can grow an amazing amount and fill a basket completely full of
roots and those roots can be touch as nails to pull apart. On some plants I
have taken a serrated knife to divide them. Sawing through pebbles and rocks is
dang hard!

I agree. The main reason that I put some rocks in the bottom of my pots is
to give them extra weight and stability from the wind, particularly with the
taller plants. I'm new at this game, compared to many of you, but I learn
