Depends on the size of the plant and how much bleach was applied. Bleach normally contains about 30% sodium hyperchlorite, a sterilizing agent. It is in fact diluted and used to surface sterilize plant tissues used in tissue culture.

If applied to the root system of the plant it could damage severely enough to result in the plant dying - a similar situation to fertiliser burns.

If the bleach is applied to the surface of the plant as as surface spray it would cause the equivalent of 2nd and 3rd degree burns to the plant - more than likely resulting in death (dependant on the resiliency of the plant)
