Watering Orchids with recycled water
How many of you recycle your fish water? I have a Siamese fighting fish in a 3 gallon aquarium. I was advised to use bottled Spring water for him, as our well water is hard with Lime deposit. I am using bottled Spring water that I buy monthly and treat for the fish to make water replacements easier on his change outs and evaporation replacements. Now, with that water, I keep the used fish water in a couple of separate fish bowls and water my Orchids with room temperature , naturally fertilized fish water. I actually water all house plants besides those Orchids with same water and all of them really are doing quite nicely. I had stopped using ice with them for quite a while and am very pleased with my recycled water. Has anybody else with fish done this also? I would think fish water in general (depending on how many fish and how potent the water would be from many fish in an aquarium may make a difference. One small fish (like mine), seems to be ok to use in watering the Orchids and other house plants with. I am pleased with my results.
