Softest waters were in parts of the New England, South Atlantic-Gulf, Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii regions. Moderately hard waters were common in many of the rivers of the Tennessee, Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska regions. Hard and very hard waters were found in some of the streams in most of the regions throughout the country. Hardest waters (greater than 1,000 mg/L) were measured in streams in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Arizona, and southern California.

must be the sand then..[b said:Quote[/b] (aprilh @ July 11 2005,3:48)]Every single VFT I've ever had...has died. And they were heartbreakingly beautiful plants, too. I did the research. I water with only distilled or rain water. I used a mix of peat and leveling sand(rinsed 4 times). I've put them in full sun, I've put them in part sun(I get conflicting advice from really knowledgeable people on this issue). And still, they die. I give up. I don't like killing things, or, having them die on my watch. I may try one more time, and pot two of the dang things in straight LFS, and keep one in full sun, and one in part shade. I don't think they're that easy, I just think you guys are very talented!
I thought I had a green thumb until I met my first VFT! Aprilh
