It got very little water during the winter.
the conservatory is frost free-little heater with thermostat sees to
that.( we live in Northern Ireland) I only water it when it is practically
dry. could be that it needs repotting. Is there any way I can use tap water
e.g leave it to sit so that some of the lime evaporates ?

I don't know that leaving water to 'sit' causes lime to evaporate

Indeed, I don't see how it possibly could do! Lime is a solid at
temperatures where water is liquid.

The opposite mechanism is possible - evaporate off the water, leaving
the lime behind, then re-condense the water.
