Air it out!

Did you know most water municipalities use chlorine to help treat your household water? The quantities are normally not large and are readily available for review in your annual water report but even small traces of chlorine can have adverse affects on your violets.

Fortunately, chlorine is readily discharged (evaporates) in open containers. If using your tap water to water your violets, pull the water and let it stand in an open (e.g. without the lid on the water jug) container for 24 hours. This will allow the chlorine to evaporate from the water.
