Yes, if plants were grown in a totally artificial medium, without any source of nutrients and then watered with distilled water they would wilt and evenetually die.
This is because distilled water has no nutrients, and therefore Osmosis cannot occur. besides this, they would yellow and die as there is no nutrients in the water to support continued growth

∙ 16y agobecause through the water tha plants get very important nutritional elements that they need to grow. Distilled water is pure water with nothing to offer besides being the solvent in several chemical reactions

∙ 15y agoBecause distilled water doesn't have the good things (namely, minerals) in it that regular water has, it should not be used with fish if at all possible. Regular tap water is fine in most cases, as long as a dechlorinator (such as Jungle brand or Prime) has been used on the new water.

Can betta fish live in distilled water?
Fairly long, at least a few weeks, due to the air breathing organ it has. regular water changes help: You can oxygenate the water by removing the fish and removing some of the distilled water then pour new water 4-9 inches above the tank..the higher the water the more oxygen (take into account how much water your tank hold, the less water the more splashing from a higher distance). Next, add some soft rocks that wont affect pH (ie quartz, slate), and some betta vitamins, all this will condition the water better for the fish and keep it healthy. Then you can put your fish back in the water, once the temperatures are the same.
