Plants will not grow well in a saline solution because it will dehydrate the plant, unless the plant is a type of mangrove or is salinity tolerant. Plants may grow better in sugar water (provided there is not too much) because plants can use the sugars to build more cellulose and grow. Regular water will maintain the Status Quo.

Long-term sugar water would also result in the plant deteriorating and eventually dying

What is the effects of sugar water on seed germination?
It accelerates the germination of the seeds with a 10-50 percent sugar water to tap water concentration. Take 20 g of sugar and mix it into 200 ml of tap water, and add 50% OF THE SOLUTION to the seeds water suply, and the other 50% is tap water. If you do more than that it will kill the seeds.
How does soda or sugar water affect the growth of a plant?
Most types of soda (irrespective of brand name - Sprite, Coke, Fanta, Mountain Dew etc.) contain a few common elements: carbonated water, flavouring, colouring and sugar. Of course there are a differences in tastes, and chemical composition, but the basics are the same.So, what is the story surrounding watering plants with soda or sugar water?Sodas contain a form of glucose (normally corn sugar extract) and sugar water is normally a mixture of water and crystallised sugar (which is again the glucose extracted from sugar cane). This is normally a form of glucose referred to as d-glucose (due to the shape of the molecule).Plants are able to absorb and assimilate and metabolise d-glucose, so the simple answers would seem like yes, soda and sugar water does help plants grow. In small quantities or dilute concentrations yes; in large or high concentration no, it will eventually kill the plant. In large doses, the sugar changes the water potential in the soil around the plant, preventing water from being absorbed by the the roots (through osmosis).The first signs would be that the plant wilts as it it not able to absorb enough water to sustain itself. In addition high concentrations of sugar in the soil provide a fertile breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, which would take the first opportunity to attack a damaged or injured plant.High amounts of calcium (dissolved by the carbonated water) could also be expected to start precipitating at the surface of the soil.It also obviously depends on the size of the plant and the quantity (and frequency) of soda/ sugar water you are applying.A Similar ResultSugar added to the water given to a plant can help the plant grow faster, bigger, greener and taller, because plants have the process of respiration (the opposite of photosynthesis) which needs glucose, which is sugar, and oxygen to help grow. By giving seeds and young plants sugar water, it helps the plant grow to be greener because it is given a double dose of glucose. However, if you give the plant too much sugar water it will kill the plant because it cannot efficiently absorb water from the soil.I grew tomatoes as an experiment in my science class and I had sugar water as the experiment. One pot had sugar water tomatoes and the other had regular water. In 1 week the sugar water plants had sprouted and were around one inch. The regular plants did not sprout until around the second week. By the end of three months the sugar water plants were around 2 feet tall at least, had buds and were extremely green and healthy. While on the other hand the regular water plants were not a foot tall yet and they had leaves that weren't that green.
What is Sugar and water is an example of?
Sugar water is an example of a solution. This is because the sugar dissolves into the water without being changed chemically.
What liquids do roses grow best in?

What do plants grow better in salt water tap water or sugar water?
sugar water
Do plants grow better in saltwater or sugar water?
sugar water
Do plants grow better with salt water sugar water or regular water?
the plants in the sugar and salt will last not longer but shorter because the sugar would make it droop and die water is the best choice.
What would plants grow better in propelwater or sugar water?
sugar water
What dissolves faster salt water or sugar water?
Salt dissolves faster in heated water. Sugar dissolves faster in regular water.
How does sugar water affect a rose plant?
Because it is sugar water not regular water to food a plant so it will die not live.
Does a egg float in slat water or regular water better?
An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.
What dissolves faster in heated water sugar or salt?
Salt dissolves faster in heated water. Sugar dissolves faster in regular water.
Which water freezes faster salt water or sugar water?
Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.
