What Effect Does Distilled Water Have on Plants?
The difference between distilled water and other types of drinking water is that distillation removes all the minerals of hard water, as well as chemicals found in tap water like fluoride and chlorine. Distilled water is a type of soft water, but does not have the trace amounts of sodium that occur in water treated with a mechanical softener. Deciding which type of water to use on plants is a bigger issue with indoor plants than with outdoor ones.
