I was just in Florida for vacation and brought home a Bottle Palm to New Jersey. I believe the water in New Jersey contains more fluoride and chlorine than in Florida. Does anyone know if this will hurt the Bottle Palm?

There are filters you can place in-line with your watering hose that will remove those chemicals. I believe a common activated-carbon filter will remove most chemicals.
Thanks for the article. My palm is in my sunroom so I guess I'll use either Brita water or bottled spring water.
