A gardener forgot to water a potted plant for a day during summer, what will happen to the plant? Do you think it is reversible? If yes, how?
Ans.
During summer the water lost is much higher than the amount of water retained.This will cause the plant to wilt if it is not watered in summer. Transpiration during the day will add to the water loss and it is reversible if the water is supplied at the correct time, a long delay will lead to wilting.
