Скачать или смотреть What water is good for Orchids?

Today we talk a bit more about what type of water is better for orchids, which sources can provide it and what actually means a good quality water.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼

The most important parameters we need to take into account are temperature, water hardness and pH. Temperature should be lukewarm, the TDS should be as low as possible (soft water) and pH slightly acidic (5-6.8).

Tap water can be used, but this depends a lot on the actual location. The hardness and pH vary a lot, as well as other additives it may contain. If tap water has under 150 ppm and a pH as close to neutral as possible, it can be used with tolerant orchids, such as Phalaenopsis.

Osmosis water is the most comfortable method of filtration. It uses tap water but eliminates most of the salts, lowers pH and removes pollutants and chlorine. More on my osmosis system here    • Greenhouse osmosis system  

Rain water is another good alternative, if we make sure it is free of pollutants and dust particles. In the same category fall distilled water and maybe ionized water.

Aquarium water may or may not be good, parameters should be tested before use, as well as well water needs testing for pH and TDS.

Generally soft water reffers to a TDS value of under 100 ppm (some sources place it even lower), medium hard is up until 200ppm (again some sources have a more complex separation) while water with over 200 ppm TDS should not be used regularly.
