Default Distilled water?

My striped dracaena is said to need distilled water. Can i boil and
cool water and use it? This is kind of an emergency as the leaves have
to be cut off now as it is. I want to repot it but have no water. Can
i boil and cool water and use that?
I thank you.

No, boiled water is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water has the
mineral contents removed, and ordinarily that is done by boiling and
collecting the condensed steam. If you don't have commercial distilled
water, use rain water of melted snow. I use rain water on my potted house
plants and seedlings with good results.
