Best Answer

distilled

If you are growing houseplants in soil, using distilled water will prevent the accumulation of calcium and other salts in the soil. However, if growing plant cuttings in water, tap water will work better.

They do better in distilled because tap water has chlorine that affects the plant growth. Use distilled water for better looking and healthy plants.
