FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Just bought a five gallon jug of primo purified water. Mainly bought it for the vfts and was wondering if anyone has used it and if is safe on the plants.

No.

Straight from their web site:

Once the water is purified, we inject a specially formulated blend of minerals
(calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and sodium bicarbonate) that provide Primo's ultra-clean taste and silky finish – the taste 3 out of 4 people preferred (and we’re still not sure that fourth person understood the question). And that’s how we achieve Taste Perfection

This is drinking water. It's not meant for carnivorous plants.

You can just go to any supermarket or pharmacy store, they sell a gallon jug that says "Distilled" Water right on the sticker. Its only about 1-2 USDs if you buy the generic brand.
