I've read that water from a dehumidifier is safe for CP's, i've been watering my drosera spathulata with it and so far it is doing well (it's getting ready to bloom).

Has anybody else tried using dehumidifier water?

I have used it with negative results, the dehumidifier water I used was only 20 ppm although it slowed and stalled most of my plants growth when I watered them with it. I think the problem was the dehumidifier itself because it's old and was collecting dust in the garage for quite a while. Let us know how it works out for you :)
