IS RO WATER OK FOR PLANTS?

RO drinking water is not only OK for plants, it is recommended. The chlorine and dissolved heavy metals that may be present in tap water can cause the soil to harden, inhibit water absorption, and cause leaves to discolor. In addition, mineral deposits which may develop over time in potted plants can become toxic to the plant. Since RO water has a very low mineral content, these problems are avoided.
