Best Answer

Yes, hot water or boiling water will kill or damage plant tissue and could result in death, even if this is applied to the soil.

Once the boiled (or heated) water has cooled it can be used to water the plants with no side effects

How does the type of water given to aplant affect the growth?

The best water for most plants is natural water...either from rain or melted snow. Tap water is also fine for most plants. However, be aware that treated water may harm certain plants. For instance, some plants are sensitive to the flouride in city treated water (added to help give us strong teeth). The spathpyllium (Peace Lily) and Spider Plants are both sensitive to flouride, which can accumulate in the tips of these plants' delicate leaves, turning the tips black. Do not use distilled bottled water. This has had all minerals removed. The minerals in water are actually good for plants.
