Some indoor plant owners make things worse for their plants when they try to take care of them.

The water that you water your plants with is very important. Many people are sure that the liquid from the cooler is good for flowers, but in fact it is not.

Water from the cooler

Biologist and agronomist Elizaveta Tikhonova explained that such water undergoes a desalination procedure, the portal " Gorodovoy " reports. A number of chemical reactions deprive the liquid of useful substances that plants need.

With regular watering with such water, flowers do not receive a lot of minerals, therefore they lose their attractive appearance, wither and die.

Boiled water

Boiled water has less severe consequences. But the plant will still lack some minerals. The thing is that in boiled water, nutrients precipitate.

Raw water

According to the agronomist, the best option is raw water. Such liquid contains all the useful substances. They do not change their aggregate state and are perfectly absorbed by plant roots.
