Plants will grow well with distilled water, because of the absence of sodium and heavy metals. Because of the presence of heavy metals in the hard water causes the deficiency in iron, copper and zinc. Some type of purified water are free of minerals responsible for the formation of salt deposit build ups

Can a plant grow in distilled water?
no
Does a plant grow better watered with well water distilled water or tap water?
Tap water. Distilled water contains no salts and therefore no nutrition for the plant. In reality distilled water would not be able to be absorbed by osmosis into the root system of the plant - as osmosis relies on the differences in concentration of minerals dissolved in the water to work.
Can a plant grow in salt water or distilled water?
Some plants do benifit from salt in the water but you can experiment with distilled water for your plants.
Why does distilled water kill your plants?
distilled water kills the plant because this water is already dead water which has no minerals needed for the plant to grow. it already contains chemicals as it was being purified.
Do plants grow better in tap or distilled water?
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.
Do salt crystal grow faster in tap water or distilled water?
Distilled.
Do plant grow better with tap or distilled water?
No. Tap water or distilled water has no nutrients or minerals that a plant needs. If you leave a plant with just distilled water, it will effectively 'starve' love MeganX321 :)
Does fresh water make plants grow faster?
Do you mean distilled water, tap water or river water?Each has benefits and disadvantages.· Tap water contains sufficient trace elements for the plant to grow fairly well, but it would eventually require supplemental fertilisation.· Distilled water contains no nutrients at all and the plant would start to show signs of deficiencies very quickly.· River water, again like tap water contains high concentrations of dissolved minerals (depending on the source) and could be a more beneficial solution long-term than the other options above.
Can you use distilled water to grow and hatch triops?
Yes but dont use still water distilled is the best
Do gummy bears grow larger in distilled water or tap water?
they grow bigger in distilled!! i just did this project in school.
Will a plant grow bigger watered by milk or pepsi?
I did this for my science fair and the plant given lemon juice grew more than the plant that was given distilled water. but dont know why it did grow more
What would happen if a plant parenchyma cell is placed in distilled water?
Plant cells will expand and becomes turgid. The rigid cellulose cell wall expands slightly only which prevents it from bursting. This occurs because osmosis takes place. There is higher water potential outside the cell than that inside of the cell sap therefore, causing water to enter. Therefore, as water flows in, the cell presses on the cell wall creating pressure on the cell wall also known as Turgor pressure. This pressure keeps the plant tissues tirgid.
