HarrisAz, You don't have to boil distilled water

. It's naturally devoid of minerals and chemicals and is fine for you plant

Even if you boil it, that won't change anything, it'd just be more trouble for you with the heating and cooling. You're plants will be just as happy with regular distilled water

Good luck!

Get a ro unit, that will do it all for you. Leave it to sit for a day and its ready to go!
