Hello,
I recently repotted some of my carnivorous plants. This house has a built-in RO system, so our water is low mineral. The house system has so many other filters too, the water goes through (literally) five filtrations before reaching the faucet. However, I did not realize until now that the garage bypasses the RO system, so that water is pretty much as it is in the aquifer (we are on well water).
I have been watering the plants with RO water for the past week. There does not seem to be much change yet.
Should I get rid of the soil and remix or rinse the soil with RO water? Do you think the peat/sand should be okay since it was only exposed to the regular water once?
I went ahead and changed my Regia peat/sand out of precaution, I do not want to lose that plant! But if I might be okay with the others, I would like to spare them the stress of another transplantation.
Thanks for any input!
