Story summary
  • UK plant owners remove chlorine from tap water before watering sensitive species such as calatheas and ferns.
  • A popular method is to let tap water sit overnight in a wide-mouthed container to evaporate chlorine.
  • Some UK water companies use chloramine, which does not evaporate.
  • If plants remain damaged, check the local water report and consider carbon-filter jugs or distilled water.
