Why do flowers like dehumidifier (i guess distilled) water so much?

Question

I'm just wondering. I've perked up so many dead flowers with this sort of water. Any special properties that plants like or something? Just curious lol. Thanks!

Answer 1

If you have city water, it might be because the distilling process removes chemicals (such as chlorine) and minerals in your water that are harmful to your plants.

Answer 2

fluoride and chlorine along with a few other minerals are added to tap water. This can be harmful to many plants. You can leave your tap water out overnight to let the chlorine evaporate, but the fluoride will still be there. When you water with distilled water you are helping to flush out the build up of the harmful minerals.
