Mineral water is sold in grocery stores and is infused with various salts and minerals. These minerals give it a unique taste and supplement minerals that the human body can use. Though it is a healthy choice for people, mineral water is not such a good idea for plants.

∙ 10y agoYou don't really need to use distilled water, but what you might want to avoid is chlorinated tap water, because too much chlorine might damage your plant's roots. Distilled water is really an expensive alternative to a much easier fix, if you do have chlorinated tap water (most people on city or town water do; people on wells generally do not). A much less expensive alternative is to age your tap water, by letting it stand overnight in an open container. The chlorine will offgas, and your water should be ok for your plants. People who are on well water can typically water with their water directly from the tap, unless they have to chlorinate their well. So, use distilled water if you like, but your plants would probably be much better off with aged tap water, especially since that aged tap water is likely to include some micronutrients such as calcium and small amounts of iron, if it is unfiltered.
