When watering house plants how much difference does it make what type of water you use?


Question:does it make a diference if you use tap, bottled, conditioned, distilledor filtered water on your house plants?

Answers:
Hello. Generally we have to look at type of plant. Some tropical plants are used to water sprayed on them, using a little handspray bottle.Others will appreciate a drop of water, just to damp them.The best water by far, is distilled water. I use water from my dehumidifier, but rain water that is pure would be better.We do have a tendency to over-water house plants.Use liquid fertiliser, only if neccessary. Good Luck!


Not really. I WOULD suggest you use Miracle Gro with your watering. Plants LOVE that stuff!
most plants do not do well with heavily chlorinated water.
i filter what i use for drinking and cooking so the plants
get the same.
