Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just as a matter of curiosity, if you are going to repot them
regularly, why should it really matter whether or not you use tap water or
distilled water or rain water for your plants? Admittedly, if you have a
high saline concentration in your local tap water, obviously insoluble
salts will build up very fast. But for your normal city water, does the
build-up of salts become a serious problem in between the time you repot
your plants? Is there something even more insidious than sodium fluoride
or sodium chloride in tap water?
I am not asking this from disagreement to any advice that has been
given, nor would I recommend using tap water. Distilled water (or rain
water for those who live in damp places) works really well, and I myself do
not intend to change. But I am somewhat curious, and any thoughts on the
matter would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Benjamin F. Lasseter
