There are many possible reasons. Here are a few:
1. not enough sunlight, or too much sunlight (relative to each plant)
2. root rot: this happens when the plant is getting too much water. the roots of the plant are sitting in stagnant water and begin to rot, which kills the plant. make sure to give the plant enough water, but don't soak the soil.
3. nutrient deficient soil: some soils simply lack the nutrients the plant needs. you can add compost, seaweed liquid fertilizer (which is totally organic), or even urine ( i know it sounds gross but it contains alot of nitrogen)

What life characteristic happens when a plant wilts and dies from drying out?
Deficiency of water in plant cells due excessive loss due to transpiration and less absorption
When vacuoles in plants are filled with water the plant has what?
It is filled with water because the environment the cell is in is watery. It also helps the cell keep its' form.
Does wilting of a plant occur as a result of facilitated diffusion?
if the soil around the roots of a plant lacks water or the rate of loss of water is faster than the rate of absorption of water,the cells in the plant will contain less water and fail to support the plant.the leaves and stems become soft and drop in a condition called wilting.
Does the fertilizer that wilt the plant kill it?
Fertilizer that wilts a plant can kill it. Plants can die off if too much fertilizer are used or if they are watered too much. To ensure proper care of a plant, be sure to provide proper sunlight, water daily and a sufficient doze of fertilizer.
When plant cells are exposed to salt water what happens to them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
Why will wilting of a flower occur?
A plant usually wilts because it needs water.
When water becomes limited what generally happens to the rate of photosynthesis?
it stops and the plant wilts due to osmosis
Do flowers make more nectar once it is eaten?
Yes. So long as there is enough moisture in the soil for there to be a sap flow in the plant, the production of nectar is a continuous process until the flower wilts or the petals fall.
When does plant wilting occur?
Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of water by transpiration and lesser absorption by the roots. The deficiency of water in the cells make them flaccid and the plant wilts.
Relate transpiration to the function of a stomata?
The stomata are pores on the bottom side of leaves that allow transpiration. When the plant does not recieve enogh moisture they close and the plant wilts.
As a result of the plant reducing water losswhat other process will be slowed down?
If the process of water loss (transpiration) is reduced in plants, the process of water absorption will also be reduced. This happens to maintain an equillebrium in the plant cells.
What has the author H Wilts written?
H. Wilts has written: 'Gezin naar Gods plan'
Can plants bear fruit without having flower?
No, the reproductive process of a plant that produces fruit requires a flowering and pollination period. The flowers contain the necessary sexual organs needed to produce the fruit. If you watch, say, a tomato plant, you will see how the flower wilts and dies, and a fruit will begin to develop in the same spot.
What happend to a plant that has begun to wilt and the pot is dry and you water the plant and then 20 minutes later your plant is standing upstraight?
you answered your own question the plant will wilt so the phofhorous will help it stand up straight The dryness at the roots stops transpiration through the plant so the stomata (pores) on the underside of the leaves close and the leave wilts. When water is applied to the roots the process is reversed and the stomata open to allow transpiration to continue.
How does competition with other plants effect plant growth?
When other plants need the same nutrients and water that the other plant needs they compete for the nutrients and won't get as much as they should do. When a plant doesn't get the required amount of water, it wilts
What happens if excess soil is applied to a plant?
Damp soil around the stem or collar of a plant can cause it to rot, when this starts the conductive tissues in the stem are damaged and the plant wilts as water cannot be drawn up from the roots - in most cases the plant will then die
