In the Garden
Lettuce in the garden can wilt because of insufficient watering or due to root damage.
In the Refrigerator or in the Salad
Lettuce cells hold water, which makes it crisp. Picked lettuce will slowly wilt after picking as water leaves the plant cells.
Also most salad dressings contain salt or salt-based spices that change the
osmotic balance between the inside and outside of the lettuce cells. If the
dressing sits on the lettuce for too long before eating, the water will be drawn out.

Why does a stalk of celery wilt when placed in a glass of salt water?
Because of something called capillary action. Capillary action is the tendency of water to move upward in a capillary or thin tube, it's the same reason as to why when placed in a solution of water and red dye, the celery will turn red as well. The action causes the celery to absorb the salt water into it thouroghly and thus, it wilts.

Why does fresh celery stay crunchy when refrigerated?
Start by trimming each stalk, rinsing and placing them in a plastic bag rather than storing the bunch intact. Store in the bin in the refrigerator, well away from the sides and back of the fridge to prevent freezing which will ruin it. Sprinkle the celery occasionally to keep it crisp. If the celery has already wilted, then soaking in cold water for several hours will return some of the crispness. I wash and dry very well, then wrap in aluminum foil, making sure to cover completely. Then place in the crisper drawer. I use first method, plastic storage bags, but wrap the veggies in damp paper towel before placing them in the bag. This also works well without having to trim each piece and the moisture from the paper towel eliminates the need to add water. They last much longer in a veggie drawer. I can 100% vouch for the tin foil method. I've actually had celery last for months tightly wrapped in tin foil. No need to trim.
