Greetings to all :-)
I have bought about 4 Lassiandra Tibouchina 'Jazzie' all within 2 weeks of
each other.
Not long after I brought the first one home I watered it and saw it die
before my very eyes!
This pattern continued until the last one I bought. Then I had a light
bulb moment... I finally clicked that maybe the tap water
needs to sit for a while.
Three weeks on and Jazzie is alive and well!!
BTW I live in Perth.
Does anyone know of any other plants that are sensitive to tap water?

Happy gardening :-)

Linda




Tap water in Perth is alkaline, high in chlorine and Floride all killers of
plants.
