Salt water changes the osmotic potential around the roots of the plants, preventing osmosis and the uptake of water and nutrients.
Unless plants have special adaptations to cope with this (such as halophytes), the plant eventually wilts and dies.
Salt also changes the pH of the soil, which inhibits the uptake of certain nutrients, resulting in deficiencies, and eventually possible death

Do plants grow better in saltwater or freshwater?
AnswerLand plants will typically be killed by salt water. Some coastal plants and sea plants grow in salt water, but the rest of them tend to be stunted and die.1. Watering plants with salt water causes physical damage to the root system preventing the plant from being able to absorb fresh water and nutrients.2. Watering plants with salt water prevents the normal process of water absorption through osmosis from taking place as the concentration of salts in the soil is higher than that of the cell sap within the root hairs.3. Watering plants with salt water (or even slightly saline water) causes changes in the pH of the soil; changes in soil pH can "lock up" certain minerals in the soil rendering them insoluble and inaccessible to the plant. In this respect even small amounts of salt water can result in plant nutrient deficiencies (stunting, discolouration etc.) sometimes exhibited in plants growing in saline soils.Certain plants such as halophytes can metabolise and expel excess salt.
What is the effect of salt on the rate at which water boils?
it makes the water boil faster
Which dissolves better in water salt or baking soda?
if you add baking soda to warm or cold water it will dissolve better and faster than salt!
What dissolves faster in water salt sugar or baking soda?
Baking soda.
Is it true that kerosene faster to dissolved salt than water?
No, salts are insoluble in kerosene oil.
Will plants grow faster in hot water or salt water?
No, most plants will not grow at all in salt water.
Do plants grow faster in salt water or sink water?
Salt water will kill your plants. Please use clean water from a tap or hose.
Does a flower grow better with water salt water or salt water with fertilizer?
neither salt water or salt water with fertilizer is better because salt just kills the plants. although some plants grow faster with salt because of their salinity.
Will a flower grow faster with salt water or regular water?
A flower will not grow faster with salt water; in fact, salt water can be harmful to plants by interfering with their ability to absorb nutrients. It is best to water plants with regular, fresh water for healthy growth.
Do plants grow faster in salt water or boiled water or plain water?
boiled water
Does crystals grow faster in salt water or fresh water?
In presence of salt the crystals grow faster because the solubility of salt decreases the solubility of any other compound in water.
Do flowers grow faster with salt or not?
flowers do not grow faster with salt water because if it is to salty or u put to much in the plant it will die so i think it will grow faster in regular water.
Does seeds need salt to grow faster?
No, seeds do not need salt to grow faster. In fact, an excess of salt can be harmful to plants by disrupting their ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. It's best to provide seeds with the appropriate amount of water, sunlight, and nutrients for optimal growth.
Will sunflower seed grow faster in water or saltwater?
a mint or probably any plant grows faster with freshwater\regular water than salt water.
Can plants grow faster with salt?
While there are some plants that can survive with a lot of salt around, such as mangrove trees, most plants are killed by too much salt and even if there was not enough to kill them, it would not benefit the plant.
Why do nails grow faster at the beach?
nails grow faster at the beach because salt water[ocean water] makes your nails irich and that helps them grow faster
Do crystals grow faster in tap water or salt water?
distilled.
