    If this is a legitimate concern, my grandmother used to tell me to boil the water and then let it cool down, this will remove the chlorine.

    I’m always done it I’m not sure if it actually helps plants much. She also said to always use room temp water

      I… Is that true? Can someone with more chemistry knowledge than me confirm?

      Boiling removes oxygen, I know that…
