Water from the dehumidifier

My brother read online that a good use for the water from a dehumidifier is to water plants. Would this be safe for orchids (phals)? Thanks!

Martine,

I have a portable air conditioner that collects water from air in the room and have watered my orchids with the water collected from the small water bin in the unit. It won't harm your orchids at all. It's basically distilled water.
