I don't use rain water, so I'm not sure if some sort of treatment can be done.
BTW Jennyfleur that bud is looking mighty fine - make sure the spur doesn't crumple into the medium, if you can manage it! Good growing!

Nice to know that I'm not the only one with horrible tap water! We've just come out of a three and a half month drought, so my water butt dried up ages ago! Luckily, after Christmas I bought a water distiller which is fantastic and has probably helped all my plants get through without rain water!
With respect to the spur, I'm keeping a really close eye on it and will do my best. This is my first Angraecum flower so I haven't had experience with them before, but I'm learning as I go which is always good
