wilt is favoured by moist soils and a temperature range of 21-27°

I think the opposite is true dry soils and high tempertures mean lack of water for the plant. This means the plant leaves begin to dry out and have insufficent water to sustain the leaf spread.

Can flowers come back to life after wilting?

Yes, some flowers can come back to life after wilting if they are given proper care and conditions, such as being placed in water and receiving sunlight.


What happens if you don't water a plant for four days?

Most likely a bit of wilting. It mostly depends on the type of plant and its environment. Hot dry weather and soil for a plant that is not intended for that environment would cause more severe wilting than say a cactus. For four days most plants will be just fine.


Which would most likely be caused by environmental conditions?

Extinction is most likely to be caused by environmental conditions. Dramatic changes to the climate can mean that species are no longer adapted to survive.


What is wilting?

Wilting refers to the loss of rigidity of non-woody parts of plants. This occurs when the turgor pressure in non-lignified plant cells falls towards zero, as a result of diminished water in the cells. The process of wilting modifies the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions. Lower water availability may result from: drought conditions, where the soil moisture drops below conditions most favorable for plant functioning; high salinity, which causes water to diffuse from the plant cells and induce shrinkage; saturated soil conditions, where roots are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen for cellular respiration, and so are unable to transport water into the plant; or bacteria or fungi that clog the plant's vascular system. Wilting diminishes the plant's ability to transpire and grow. Permanent wilting leads to plant death. Symptoms of wilting and blights resemble one another. In woody plants, reduced water availability leads to cavitation of the xylem. Wilting occurs in plants such as Balsam and tulasi.


Why does putting vegetable in the refrigerator slow them from wilting?

Putting vegetables in the refrigerator slows them from wilting. This is as a result of most enzymes becoming dormant and thus keeping them fresh.


When does wilting takes place?

Wilting occurs when a plant loses turgor pressure in its cells due to insufficient water supply or extreme heat. This lack of water causes the plant to lose rigidity and its leaves or stems to droop or wilt. Wilting typically happens during hot, dry conditions or when a plant is not receiving adequate moisture.

What is the importance of wilting?

Advantages of Wilting in Plants Though wilting is not considered good, there are few advantages. Wilting helps in reducing the rate of transpiration hence allow plants to conserve water and this prevents plant from over exhaustion in dry seasons as transpiration activities stops. Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area by modifying the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions. It develops drought resisting character in plant for survival.


Why is my mint wilting and how can I revive it?

Your mint plant may be wilting due to lack of water, excessive sunlight, or root-bound conditions. To revive it, water the plant thoroughly, place it in a location with indirect sunlight, and consider repotting it if the roots are crowded.
