Default Re: Water quality for plants.

Hi

By “RO” do you mean reverse osmosis? I heard that water treated with reverse osmosis is not very good for your health and I would assume it would not be the best for plants either because reverse osmosis removes all the beneficial minerals from the water. Also, the reverse osmosis machines do not ionize the water like the machines I referred to in my earlier links.

Do you know the best pH for carnivorous plants and how low a pH would be all right? I read the system at https://alkaway.infusionsoft.com/go/ahp/ can produce acid water between a pH range of 3 and 6. If it is too acid, the alkaline water could be mixed with it. I would be curious to know what the lowest pH water that carnivorous plants could be given without adversely affecting their growth.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
