s the days get shorter and the heating goes on, your houseplants go through a big change too. Lower light levels and dry indoor air can make it harder for them to thrive. But one simple switch can make a huge difference — using distilled or deionised water.
At The Somerset Clearwater Company, we produce both distilled water and deionised water right here in the UK. With free next-day delivery, competitive prices, and eco-friendly packaging, our pure water keeps your indoor garden healthy all year round.
🌱 Why Tap Water Can Harm Your Houseplants
Tap water often contains chlorine, fluoride, and minerals that can build up in the soil and damage roots. Over time, these minerals can lead to leaf spotting, nutrient lockout, and crispy edges — especially in tropical plants.
Switching to distilled water for houseplants ensures they get pure, balanced hydration without the harsh additives.
💧 The Benefits of Distilled & Deionised Water for Plants
-
Prevents Mineral Build-Up – No salts or limescale in soil or pots.
-
Gentle on Roots – Perfect for tropicals and sensitive species.
-
Encourages Healthy Growth – Stronger roots, greener leaves, and fewer nutrient issues.
-
Perfect for Misting – Leaves stay spotless with no residue or marks.
Using pure distilled water also reduces the need to repot as often, since there’s no mineral crust forming on the soil surface.

Orchids – Thrive with pure hydration from distilled water.

Peace Lilies & Calatheas – Avoid brown tips and spots caused by hard water.
