    Smile watering orchids with lake water

    I haven't seen any posts about this.. but
    I live on a lake in Mo. I was wondering if anyone has watered their orchids with lake water.
    I know lake water helps other plants.
    How about orchids????

    As long as the water doesn't have oil or gasoline floating on it (most commonly as a result of boat use) it should be just fine
