It is possible for plants to be more adapted to living near salt water. Many beach grasses, along with mangrove trees, kind of "sweat" the salt out of their systems. the next time oyu go to the beach, rub some dune grass. does any white powder come up on your finers? this is salt. Im not sure of the actual systems the plants use to get rid of the salts, though.
What else can I help you with?
Which plants contain sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride, or table salt, is typically not found in high concentrations in plants. However, some halophytic (salt-tolerant) plants are adapted to grow in saline environments and may accumulate some salt in their tissues. Examples include saltbush, mangroves, and some species of seagrasses.
How long will a plant survive with salt in its body?
Depends on the type of salt and the concentration. Plant nutrients such as Nitrogen for example are take up and move around the plant as salts! But in very low concentrations, much the same that humans need salt in their bodies, but to much can also kill you
Can plants grow in salt water?
Some seeds (mangrove and coconut) can. But in most cases the presence of salt causes moisture in a plant to come out of the plant (by osmosis) and this means that the seed/plant can not grow in a salty environment unless it has special adaptations for dealing with salt.
Is ocean water good for any plant?
Ocean water contains high quanitites of "salt". This impurity is left behind in the soil when the water is absorbed and can kill many different types of plants. Plam trees are an example of a plant that can grow in these conditions.
Can plants tolarate salt water?
No, most plants cannot tolerate salt water. Salt water has high levels of salt which can dehydrate plants, inhibit nutrient uptake, and damage their cellular structure. Some plants, called halophytes, have adaptations that allow them to thrive in saline environments, but these are the exception rather than the rule.
What is the name of salt tolerant plants found in sheltered coastline areas?
Mangroves
Is a Sago Palm Salt Tolerant?
A Sago Palm is salt tolerant. Some other salt tolerant palms include cabbage palm, Canary Island palm, and the Chinese fan palm.

What type of ecosystem occurs in tropical climates and contains dominant species of salt tolerant woody plants?
Mangrove Swamp.
Does using salt on the grass in the winter kill the grass?
Yes, salt kills the grass in most yards. There are some salt-tolerant grasses but they are not common.
Is salt good for plants?
Salt is good for some plants and bad for other plants.
How come some plants are salt tolerant?
Over time they have evolved to live in salty environments. The result is usually that they have developed mechanisms to prevent the high salt concentration from dehydrating them. The cell walls are made so that water can pass through but Salt is restricted. This process is called osmosis.

Why are there so few drought tolerant plants?
There are actually tons of drought tolerant plants - you just need to look harder.
Does saltwater affect a plant's growth?
Yes. Some plants can only live in salt water, like kelp. Others are adapted to estruaries and marshes where the water is somewhat salty, and others can tolerate some salt in the soil, while others can not tolerate any. If you water a non-tolerant plant with salt water you will stunt it's growth, or it might even kill it.
