· No not at all the plant will die. 1. stomata will be blocked as petroleum jelly will not let the air to pass through and will make the stomata unable to respire. 2. The petroleum jelly absorbs heat and vaseline is a petroleum jelly. this will adversely affect the plant and will harm its leaves and stomata's. 3. The chemical composition of Vaseline contains the residue and compounds of petrol and its product which is very harm full for the plants and these composition can dry up a potted plant if applied on their leaves.
