As we know orchids like nice clean water. Water districts send out annual
reports, ours state the water around here ain't bad. So why can't I grow orchids better? I kept thinking it was the water quality, and almost put in a reverse osmosis system. Those of you with long memories know that I just can't stomach the waste water these generate. I've xeriscaped my yard so no need for watering there either. To make a long story short water pressure in my house really started to suck, so I tackled a plumber I could trade services with. Today he opened up some walls and here's what we find. Small wonder the water was pinkish when a pot is filled for boiling spaghetti. Small wonder orchid roots burn. Consider the source. Or at least the pathway from the source to my orchids.... John G.
