Hello, Miguel,

I've tried tap water on a Drosera Capensis. The result is a short,
stubby plant, with very little dew on the tentacles, and poor colouring.
(Note: that's only a sample of one plant, so hardly a scientific study).
It didn't die.

I've also used water from a well on my plants. The Drosera Capensis plants all
did well, as did the Sarracenias. My VFTs died, and my D. Binata leaves all
died. The D. Binata recovered almost immediately when they got rain water.
I won't do that again!

Regards
