FAQ About Indoor Plant Water Hardness Considerations
What is water hardness and how does it affect indoor plants?
Water hardness refers to the presence of mineral salts, primarily calcium and magnesium, in water. These minerals can affect the absorption of nutrients by plants, potentially leading to nutritional imbalances or deficiencies. Hard water can cause build-up of minerals in the soil, which might affect the plant's growth and overall health. Indoor plants, depending on their species, may be sensitive to mineral concentrations in water.
