Experienced gardeners have told us about water that is useless for indoor plants.

Flowers on the windowsill will delight you with their fresh appearance and bloom all year round if you take proper care of them.

Many people know that you can't water plants with tap water. Many flowers start to wither and get sick because of it, and they don't absorb nutrients well.

But not only such liquid is harmful for "green pets". Boiled water also has its disadvantages, so experienced gardeners advise not to use it.

After heat treatment, it loses a significant portion of its beneficial components and changes its acidity.

In addition, oxygen, which is so necessary for plants, evaporates. That is why gardeners call such water "dead".

The best option, according to experts, is running, settled water. It is especially useful for violets and succulents.
