Check their online shopping to see what it looks like, I'd be surprised if Countdown didn't have that brand. I saw pure water in warehouse but it was like 10l and it didnt say distilled water so didnt buy it at the end.10L is a bit much for a single plant |

| 744299 | 2009-02-03 06:06:00 | I used to grow venus flytraps once. Grew quite well too. Anyway, I just used to use either rainwater, or just tap water that I had left to sit for a while (definitely a few hours plus). And yeah, the plant gets its nitrogen from the flies They grow well in peat, and sphagnum moss (50/50 mix) though I tended to use more sphagnum moss addition: and never use flyspray near them, it kills them (the plants) |

| 744300 | 2009-02-03 06:38:00 | Whats the difference between spghagnum moss and peat moss?Once is alive and the other is dead moss right? Is purified water and distilled water the same thing? I am a little confused if the steam that arises from the boiling water are the distilled water? I suppose if you have dirt in water that heats up wouldn't the dirt be left at the bottum after all the water vapour have been evaporated.Wouldn't that be sorta purifying it? Filtered,Purified and distilling same thing right? I think purified removes the dirt and the uncessary chemicals we consume Filtered would probably be the same thing as purifying while distilling is removing the chemicals ? |

Purified has harmful bacteria removed or killed, it could be purified with a few drops of bleach. Filtered is put through a fine strainer. As well as "Pure Dew", another distilled brand is "Hydr8". Your problem is solved for $2.50 or so, drink what the plant doesn't want and move on :D |

| 744304 | 2009-02-03 08:54:00 | You don't need to "Buy" distilled water. Just open your freezer cabinet and that white stuff clinging to the walls called "Ice" is pure distilled water. DON'T contaminate it by thawing it in a dirty container. | bluenose (14548) | ||
| 744305 | 2009-02-03 09:08:00 | I don't have a freezer but thanks for the advice | Ninjabear (2948) | ||

In certain cases, plants may need water on subsequent days too. If not, the plant is dead. |
