I think it's because salt dissolves better in hot water than cold water, so as the solution cools the salt wants to come out of solution and crystallize. When you pour the solution over the sponge, this causes the liquid to evaporate. This further concentrates the salt so that it will crystallize. The salt crystals will start to form on undissolved salt or on the sponge. Once the crystals start forming, they grow fairly rapidly...

Unless the plant is adapted to grow in saltly water, it will kill it. The salt in the water will cause the water in the plant to move out into the salty water. It will wilt and die. There is a saying that "water follows salt" that may help you to remember this. Water will always move to where salt has the highest concentration.
