Many people think that you can water indoor plants with ordinary tap water. This is not entirely true. Tap water can be harmful to your houseplants.

By following these simple tips from prostoway, you can provide your houseplants with the moisture they need and keep them healthy and beautiful.

  • Tap water can contain chlorine and other chemicals that harm the root system of plants.
  • Hard water, which is high in magnesium and calcium, can lead to stunted plant growth and development.
  • Salts in tap water can build up in the soil and harm beneficial microorganisms.

To keep your indoor plants healthy and beautiful, it is important to use clean, filtered water for watering.

Here are some tips on how to water your houseplants properly:

  • Use filtered or distilled water.
  • Allow the water to stand for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.
  • Water the plants only when the soil is dry to the touch.
  • Do not overwater the soil, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Pour out excess water from the tray after watering.
