FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello,
So I just manage to get a TDS meter, I've been watering my plants with bottled water (the one I trusted more).
I tested all my water sources available and this is what I found:
Bottled water: 120ppm
Tap water: 590ppm
Tap kitchen water: 250ppm

I just found another brand of bottled water kind of a mountain collected water and it measured 50ppm.
My question is is there something I need to do to change to this new water?.
I read that one must repot everything but it's not long ago I just did so.
Any recommendations?

Bottled water often has small amounts of minerals added because it tastes better that way to a lot of people. If you've been using 120ppm water for a while you can probably just give the pots a quick flush and keep on like normal. Any pitcher plants you grow will probably be fine without any flushing but you can do it anyway if you want.

Thanks, I'll be flushing those pots.
