Collected spring water for orchids?
There is a spring about a 1/2 mile away from my house and I take a few jugs out to the spring and fill them with water. I've been using this water for quite a while and the orchid seem to like it.
I tested the water with an aquarium test kit. These are the levels of things:
Nitrates: 40 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
Hardness/GH: 200 ppm
Alkalinity/KH: 300 ppm
pH: 7.3
Does this sound good for orchids? If not the other two options I have is softened well water or hard well water.
Will this be pure enough for carnivorous plants or does anyone know if you can calculate TDS using hardness levels?
