Question about watering house plants.?

I have several plants like Dracaena (lucky bamboo), Venus Fly Trap, and an Orchid all of which require distilled water because they are sensitive to chlorine in tap water. I also Have several fish tanks that require me to use a water conditioner to remove the chlorine and chemicals so I was wondering if I can use conditioned water (not tank water) instead of distilled water to water these plants. I'm kind of tired of buying special water just for a few plants. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this.

Anyone have any opinions or facts about this idea?

Question about watering house plants.?
Besides being sensitive to chlorine burn, the three plants you list are also very sensitive to dissolved solids and minerals. So stick with RO (deionized), distilled or clean neutral pH rainwater. Avoid aquarium, softened, or conditioned tap water for the fishies. The water conditioner has to be more expensive per gal. than RO water. RScott
Reply:How often do you do a water change in your aquarium? Why? Well, for many years, I have used aquarium water to water my plants. I had a 150 gallon tank with Discus and a few other fish that require VERY clean, low pH water.



Alternatively, you can get tap water and leave it out for a day or two, the chlorine will dissipate from the water after a day. Still have the water additives (calcium, lime, etc.), but no chlorine.
Reply:Personally, I just keep what I called "aged" water in a pitcher for my houseplants. I just run tap water in there and let it set out for at least 24 hours. My plants do great with it but I don't have the ones you mentioned. I like it, too, because the water is room temperature. No shocking my leafy buddies with cold water.
Reply:Conditioned water and reverse osmosis water are two different things. A water softner or conditioner uses salt which is a no no for all of the above. If you are refering to a RO or reverse osmosis, yes you can absolutely use that and stop the distilled. If you have a PPM meter (parts per million)you can tell how clean your RO water really is. RO is what I have used for years and is fine for everything.
Reply:Do NOT use aquariums water for your lucky bamboo. I did, and lost some of my bamboo. I use spring water for both plants and tanks.
