De-chlorinating water with Chemicals
 
Hey there Guys,
New to the world of Carnivorous Plants - Have on order some lovely Sarracenia seeds (venosa,leucophylla, flava rugelii)
Just one quick question ...
Has anyone used commerical de-chlorinators to remove chlorine from tap water ? (like what's used to remove chlorine for fish in ponds/aquariums etc) and had success ?
Please let me know - Thought if it's safe for fish it should be safe for my seeds. If not what's a good brand of bottle water I could use ...
Thank you !

never use any chemical for water that I used for watering plant as they do not show sign of struggling with direct tap water

but there are common anti-chlorine chemical available, some comes with anti-chloramine, but I do not know whether chloramine does any harm to plants or not

i prefered "carbon-filtered" water instead of using anti-chlorine

I have no problem use tap water for my CP so far. From my experience, tap water do not harm CP but of course the best recommendation is RO water.

It sound no logic if compare plant with fish. Fish breathing in the water but not for plant .

You should easily get the plantlet in australia since there have a big supplier :1thumbup:
