Shoutout to the guy at the plant swap who asked about my watering can

I was using a big metal can for all my indoor plants, and he pointed out the mineral spots on my maidenhair fern's leaves. He said, 'You know that's from tap water, right?' I switched to rainwater for my ferns a month ago and the new growth looks perfect. Anyone else have a plant that's super picky about water?

Yeah, some ferns just can't handle the tap. @jesse988, you must have soft water.
