The water forces air out from the soil, and the cells of the root hairs get damaged and will eventually die due to the lack of oxygen. At this point, the plant becomes unable to pick up water, wilts and dies. The symptoms are confusing, because at first glance, the plant reacts the same way to the lack of water as to overwatering.

How often do you water a pumpkin plant?
Just how often a pumpkin plant needs to be watered depends on the state of the soil. The owner of the plant should judge the soil before watering; if it seems already very moist, watering should be kept to a minimum. In general, however, pumpkin plants should be watered every two days. Watering every day can over-soak the soil, leading to disease.
