because the reason that some plants stay upright is that the cels are filled with water until they are rigid. this is called a turgid plant cell. and when they are not watered these cells cannot maintain a turgid state and this will cause the plant to loose its shape or form.

Does the time of day a plant is watered affect how fast it grows?

The time of day plants are watered does not make them grow faster, but it can affect the plants in other ways. It is best to water them in the mornings. When they are watered in the afternoons, the sun hitting the water on the leaves can harm them. Watering them in the late evenings can also be harmful.

What is the effect of light on the growth of plants?

The effects of light on plants are divided up into four main categories. Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Photoperiodism is the relative effect of the length of daylight to the flowering of plants. For example, "long day" plants flower when daylight is longer than a certain length of time, and "short day" plants flower when daylight is shorter than a certain length of time. Phototropism causes plants to grow according to the direction of the light source. Some may bend on an angle and grow that way toward light. Photomorphogenesis is the effect caused by the quality and intensity of light. Some seeds need light to germinate, etc.

Does soapy waste water effect the growth of plants?

Not exaclty, i have tried this before. I watered one with normal water and one with soapy water. The soapy watered one wasn't very effected. In fact, it is still living(: and the normal watered one is too. but there really isn't much of a difference between the two of them. So yes, soapy water does affect a plant, but a very small effect. Meaning, the plant would still live for a pretty long time, if you watered it at its regularly needed basis. :D

Why do plants wilt shortly after watered?

During day time when transpiration occurs watering of plants removes the air from the soil and in the abscence of oxygen root cells can not respire aerobically, hence uptake of water is affected. When the loss of water due to transpiration is not compensated by absorption of water by the roots, wilting is observed in these plants.
