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. Boiling removes dissolved gases in water but does not remove
salts. Your dracanea would benefit from old aquarium water or rain
water. Dracaenas like humidity, bright light, constant (somewhat
cool) temperatures, and less water in winter.
