Municipal water treatment can leave chlorine and chloramines in tap water, while water from wells or other natural sources may raise heavy-metal concerns. These water-quality issues can affect plant roots and show up as poor growth, wilting, or crispy brown or black leaf tips. Southside Plants Tap Water Conditioner is made for people who want to prepare water before using it on houseplants or in a growing system.

What does Southside Plants Tap Water Conditioner do?

It treats water by addressing chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, and pH. Chlorine and chloramines used in municipal water treatment can damage plant roots, and the conditioner is designed to dissipate these chemicals before they reach the soil and roots. It also detoxifies heavy metals, a potential concern for water drawn from a well or another natural source.

Tap water averages a pH of 6.5 to 8.5, while plants prefer a pH between 5.0 and 7.0. The conditioner buffers pH to help keep it in a more neutral range. Southside Plants says treated water can help plants grow taller and more robust by addressing harmful chemicals before watering.

• Designed to prepare water before it is absorbed by plant roots.
• Addresses both chemical exposure and pH as part of water treatment.

How much conditioner should I use?

Add 1/4 capful to 1 gallon of tap water. The 8-ounce bottle treats up to 200 gallons when used at this rate, making the dose suitable for regular watering, hydroponic setups, and irrigation systems.

• Measure the conditioner against 1 gallon of tap water.
• Use the treated water for houseplants, hydroponics, or irrigation.

Which plants and aquatic setups can use it?

The conditioner is intended for houseplants and growing systems, including plants that are more sensitive to chemical exposure. Southside Plants names dracaenas, ti plants, spider plants, prayer plants, calatheas, and carnivorous plants among these sensitive varieties. It can also be used for aquarium and pond water for fish when applied as directed.

• Suitable applications include indoor plants, hydroponic growing, and irrigation.
• For ponds and aquariums, follow the directions for the application.

This conditioner is suited to plant owners who water with tap water, use hydroponic or irrigation systems, or care for plants identified as more sensitive to chemical exposure. It also serves pond and aquarium use when applied as directed. Its measured dose and treatment of chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, and pH make it a practical fit for preparing water before it is used.
