Effects of using tap water on succulents

  1. Change in the soil colour of the succulent: Long term usage of unfiltered tap water can make the adjacent soil go a little bit whiter or paler in colour

  2. Root Burning can reduce the efficiency of absorbing nutrients: Roots are the most vital organs of any plant. Accumulation of chemicals in the soil can end up damaging the roots and hamper their normal functionalities

  3. Change of Leaf colour: Leaves can become yellow and develop brown edges

  4. White Spots on the Succulent: Pale appearance of the succulents along with white dotted spots all over can be a serious sign of soil contamination.

  5. The succulent can end up being stunted or malnourished: As proper absorption of nutrients and water is getting affected, the effects will start to show in the upper part of the succulent. The succulent will end up losing leaves, branches and will lose its vibrancy
