Because of the osmosis properties in plant cells, things will go like this.
Cell containing 95% water, 5% Salt
VS
Lake containing 50% water, 50% Salt
The cell will push all the water out into the lake in an effort to try and make the salt:water ratios equal on both sides. The lack of water inside the cell at the end will shrivel the cells, causing the plant to cease functioning properly... and eventually die.

When you water a plant with salt water what does it have on the plant?
Salt water effects plants by making them dry out and wither. You might ask why; and the reason is because it takes the moisture out of the cells. It does this when the salt all sticks to the plant and absorbs the liquid out of it. That makes the cell dry out and causes the cell to die. Salt is bad for plants because it could do this to every single cell causing the whole plant to die.
Could salt water stop plant growth?
Yes, salt water can inhibit plant growth by drawing water out of the plant cells through osmosis, causing dehydration and damage. Excessive salt levels can disrupt the plant's ability to take up nutrients and can lead to stunted growth or even death.
Does a plant grow taller if watered with milk or salt water?
No. If you give a plant salt water the salt will cause the cells in the plant to shrivel, trying to keep it out, and the plant will eventually die. I have no idea about milk. My best guess is no as well because the solution is too thick for the plant to soak up.
Why is salt water bad for farmland?
Salt water is bad for farmland because it contains high concentrations of salt, which can damage the soil structure, inhibit plant growth, and reduce crop yields. Additionally, salt water can dehydrate plants by drawing water out of their roots, leading to water stress and ultimately plant death.
Does mixing salt into a cut flowers water affect how long it live?
Yes. It actually shortens the plant life. The water in the plant will diffuse into the salt water. This means that the water that the plant cells use is drained down into the salt water because the salt can not pass through the plant which leaves the plant to die faster
Will salt water or tap water have a greater affect on a plant's growth?
Always use tap water. Salt water kills all plants except plants that live in the sea.

Can salt help the cell membrane by adding it in the plant cell?
no because salt will dry up the plant cell and cause all of the chloroplasts to bunch up into this group causing them to not be able to do there jobs. Also a plant cell needs water to live and the salt will dry up all that water.
Do water beetles live in salt water?
