Oh, dude, Van Helmont's hypothesis was that plants gain their mass from water, not soil as previously believed. He did this by conducting an experiment where he planted a willow tree in a measured amount of soil and watered it for five years. At the end of the experiment, he found the tree had gained a significant amount of mass, leading him to conclude that water was the main source of a plant's growth. Like, who knew water was the real MVP for plants, right?

Did van Helmont's experiment supports or disprove Aristotle's hypothesis?

Van Helmont's experiment did not disprove Aristotle's hypothesis. Van Helmont's experiment involved the growth of a willow tree, showing that plant growth was not solely due to the uptake of soil. Aristotle's hypothesis may have been focused on different aspects of plant growth, such as the role of water and soil nutrients, which were not directly contradicted by van Helmont's experiment.
