Tap water and soap detergents
Hi, I have a questions regarding drosera plants. I read in a web that tap water and soap detergents can kill this plant. Is this true or false? This is the first time I have heard of this also.

Re: Tap water and soap detergents
Soap will kill almost all carnivorous plants. Tap water depends on the amount of impurities in the water. Chlorine and minerals in the tap water will kill many carnivorous plants. Nepenthes are more tolerable of tap water but other CPs are not.

Re: Tap water and soap detergents
In Malaysia, we can use our tap water for almost all CP. So far, there is no problem at all...
Regarding soap detergents, may I know why ask so? You plan to water soap detergents to CP to ger ride of pest?
