Hi,

Lon can correct me, but I believe water from a dehumidfier would have a lot
of contamination from
mold and fungus.

The cooling fins of the dehumidfier would collect a lot of spores, as air was
pushed through
them. These spores would eventually drip into the collection pail.

My guess is that it would be hard to keep the water free of mold and fungus
spores, and this
would not help a rooting situation.

Later,
Tom
