I am taking the p### about top posting, I mostly forget as you have to mess
about deleting lines etc.I will of course do my best to remember & keep the
message flowing nicely!
Thanks Keith
Phil L it really does matter about the water,continues tap water to a
orchid or bog plant/ acid lovers could seriously harm the plants over
time.For short periods is o.k ,but long term not.

Don't you find top posting easier to read,I click reply to post ,type
my
message & click send! its that easy.

Whatever your preference, the convention in this ng is 'bottom' or in-
line posting, with appropriate snipping, which allows you to answer each
point as it is made.

You are wrong saying hardness/softness is of no importance to plants.Most
if
not all plants would prefer rain water obviously to tap water.

I'm not sure it's necessarily that obvious, or 'most if not all'.

The OP was
referring to nepanthes & orchids which definitely prefer
rainwater,hard/alkaline water can lock up important minerals,so the plant
would suffer over time.
