If you get distilled water you should be fine.... The difference you will notice is only going to be a day or two! The most important thing to do is keep the flowers out of direct sun or from heat. This will speed the bloom life up. Make certain to replace the water often - do not let it get stagnant... or cloudy. Trim off the foliage below the water line.<br><b>References : </b><br> I am a florist, and we use reverse osmosis filtered water… that is optimum.

And, you always have to water them with distilled or reverse osmosis water.<br><b>References : </b><br> Filtered.
