Seriously, the distilled water thing is just one example of how forum advice gets blown out of proportion. I bet @tylerg30's plant suffered from some well-meaning but wrong tip like that. People read one success story and treat it like a rule for everyone, when really, plants can adapt to different conditions. I've killed a few myself by changing too much at once, so now I stick to observing and making small tweaks. It's all about finding what works for your specific setup, not following some rigid online guide.
