Indoor plants are not too fussy about the water they get, but certain conditions like pH, alkalinity, hardness, chlorine and sodium levels are a concern. If the water is not suitable, plants fail to grow properly and may die. Many gardeners blame themselves for having black thumbs when in fact their problem is “black” water.
In this post I will discuss things that you can do to try and correct any water issues you might have.
You have probably heard that chlorine in tap water is harmful to plants. Some cities have switched to using chloramine in tap water and that is also a concern for plants because it is much harder to remove before watering indoor plants.
What is the difference between chlorine and chloramine? Will they harm your plants? How can you remove them from tap water? These are all good questions gardeners should be able to answer and in this post I will help you do just that.
