    I recently purchased a venus fly trap, pitcher plant and butterwort. I am spraying them with distilled water and they are doing great. Currently they are in a front living space and spraying the plants pretty much gets water mist all over. I was curious if I could move the plants to my bathroom where they would get the humidity from my shower. My only concern is this steam/humidity isn't distilled water but obviously tap water. Would this be a problem?

    I don't think it would be a problem - steam doesn't carry the soluble salts that would otherwise damage the plants. Make sure they'll continue to get adequate lighting, though.
