The message from Stefan contains these words:

anyone has any idea if it is a wise idea to use water that has
been boiled for watering pot plants? I drink quite a lot of tee
and there's always some water left in my kettle. shouldn't that
bee a good thing since the water should contain less lime?

I use rainwater or spring water for my houseplants; since
I live in a soft water area, so I really can't advise you.

Not much help to the OP, then.

I also know exactly how much water to put in the kettle for two or
four cups of tea, so I never boil water to leave in the kettle. *

Good point. But there's usually at least a small amount of water left
over which can be decanted into a watering-can each time for later
use. And yes, Stefan, on the whole it is a good idea to use boiled
water on your houseplants as some of the carbonates will have
precipitated out of the solution (and onto the inside of your kettle).
