Question

keeping osmosis in mind, would it be better to soak wilted flowers in distilled water or normal tap water?


I was thinking tap but I`m not sure why I`m thinking that. Maybe because tap water has a higher solute concentration that than distilled. i`m not sure. could you explain please? thanks

So distilled water will give the biggest difference in pressure between the water and the leaves.
