Softened Water Harms Plants: Use Filtered, Distilled, or Rain Water

Water Softeners Add Sodium

Sodium from ion-exchange softeners accumulates in potting soil, damaging roots.

No Chemical Fix

Cannot "repair" softened water. Use instead:

  • Brita/filtered water
  • Distilled water
  • Rain water
  • Reverse osmosis system

Collect rainwater or buy distilled—cheap and effective.
