This feels like a silly question but I am using electricity to extract the water from the air, I wonder if there is something to do with the water?

Watering plants, maybe?

Maybe the better question is: are there risks?

At a bare minimum make sure you check and adjust the pH, but yes it can be done.

The main issue is that the water in the dehumidifier is a potential carrier of anything that was in the air at your home. Just be mindful that you aren’t creating a transport mechanism for mold or bacterial spores and your plants won’t mind.

If you’re concerned about it the water can be used for ornamental plants rather than edible ones.

Thank you! I was also thinking about spores and their impacts. I generate way more water than I can use, but I will keep some aside for my non-eating plants.
