Is saltwater good for plants

Answer 1

saltwater wilts plants because the saltwater is a hypertonic solution (meaning there is a higher concentration of solutes in the solution compared to the cell) so the water from the plant cells leaves the plant to try to dilute the solution and reach equilibrium (or isotonic, meaning that the concentration of solutes is equal between the cell and solution). this will create plasmolysis in the plant cells, causing the central vacuole to pull away from the cell wall, therefore wilting the plant.

Answer 2

Salt water is bad for plants because it interferes with chemical reactions that the plant uses to grow and produce fruit.
