Water for House Plants
“Rainwater and bottled spring water are great at helping plants grow, but sugar water and salt water actually hurt growing plants. Tap water and distilled water may not hurt the plants, but you'll notice they don't grow as tall and proud as the plants that were fed rain and spring water.”
Keeping this in view, what kind of water makes plants grow faster?
The best water for plants, and the type of water that tends to make them grow fastest, is rain water, because it is purer than tap water or even well water.
Beside above, do plants grow better with tap water or distilled water?
Why Distilled is Better than Tap Water Tap water contains chemicals, such as chlorine, that are used to treat the public water supply. These chemicals are damaging to plants. If you have hard water, you will want to use distilled water for your house plants. Some plants are very sensitive to the minerals in hard water.
Distilled bottled water is sometimes recommended for houseplants when the build-up of salts that occur naturally in tap water causes problems with plant growth. Distilled water contains none of the salts or minerals found in common tap water.
