Using a Water Distiller for Carnivorous Plants: Is It Worth It?

A grower in Arizona with extremely hard water asked if a home water distiller (PurePro USA) would effectively remove contaminants for their carnivorous plants, which were costing a fortune in store-bought distilled water.

Expert Assessment

Christopher reviewed the system and considered purchasing one himself. Steam distillation is one of the best methods to remove all harmful minerals. If the unit performs as advertised, it would eliminate frequent trips for distilled water and provide a reliable pure water source for sensitive plants.

Considerations

  • Distillation removes virtually all dissolved solids.
  • Ideal for areas with very hard water.
  • Initial investment may pay off compared to ongoing distilled water purchases.

For growers with large collections and poor water quality, a home distiller can be a practical long-term solution.
