Does the type of water affect plant growth?
Plants need light, air and nutrients to thrive. They derive their nutrients from soil or, in hydroponics, nutrient-rich water. In soil gardens, you need to water the garden frequently so the good bacteria, fungi and microbes can add nutrients to the soil for the plants to use. Plants also need water for cellular function. The type of water used, both in soil gardening and in hydroponics, can affect plant growth.
