I was just wondering what quality water everyone uses to water/mist their Nepenthes, and their thoughts on how water quality affects the plants' growth and general health.
Here is my setup: I use a single reverse osmosis membrane to filter the water coming from my garden tap. As it passes through the membrane, the water slowly collects in a 5 gallon tank. There is a T-connector between the membrane and the tank with a third tube connected to a timer. The timer automatically controls the watering of the neps from above several times daily.
I have measured the water quality or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) count to be around the 60 ppm mark. Anyone know the quality of their water or have any opinions on its importance to the successful cultivation of these plants?
Looking forward to hearing your views,
