Adding citric acid is one of the simplest and most effective ways to alkalize and soften tap water.
Hard water prevents plants from absorbing nutrients. If you constantly water your flowers with such water, sooner or later they will begin to wither.

For watering roses, camellias, hydrangeas and azaleas, you can prepare a stronger solution; they like acidic soil.
