.The kind of water used is important because all water is not just H2O.  Thru water processing there are any numbers of chemicals added, which can be harmful to plant clipping awaiting water rooting.  “TAP”, city processing treatment facilities, add many chemicals to water treatment such as “chlorine” and others.  While chlorine in water is alright for human consumption, chlorine is not good for plants and over the long term can be harmful, eventually killing the plant.  Distilled water is not really a good choice to root plants because distilled water has no natural minerals to feed the plant cutting, as they may root (that’s barely, if at all ) the plant will be weak and droopy from lack of nutrients.  If you prefer using distilled water, add water soluble plant food or a few drops of liquid plant food to the water and mix well.  Do this each time you change the water to ensure good nutrient consumption.
