Distilled water only!

### Maggie commented on 2025-10-06

Got it!

Yes, but if you don’t want to pay for distilled you can add fish tank conditioner to water and it will also work.

#### Maggie replied on 2025-10-06

Ohhh I already have that too since I also have an aquarium!! Thanks for the tip!!

#### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-10-06

Yes it works great. Just add a few drops before watering.

#### Maggie replied on 2025-10-06

Thank you for the tip! I really appreciate it!

Question, if my house runs on well water would that be okay to use for this plant?

#### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-10-06

I would think that would work well. Also wanted to add that it’s a really beautiful plant.

#### Maggie replied on 2025-10-06

Thank you for all your help! Your amazing!

Well water usually has a pretty high TDS, I believe. I think I'd at least run it through a faucet filter before use. It really depends on the water composition itself though, which can be drastically different from one well to another.

Might be fun to run some of your aquarium water tests on your tap water, see what you've got going on!

#### Maggie replied on 2025-10-06

I’ll be doing that! Have test strips for my aquarium I’ll use! Would bottle filtered water be safe?

Beautiful plant!

Best to water with fish tank water, from water changes
