Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with Vaseline. Will this plant remain healthy for long? Give reasons for your answer.

Answers (1)

No, the plant will not remain healthy for long.

  • When the leaves of a healthy plant are coated with Vaseline it will block the stomatal pores.
  • This will not allow the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange so the plant will not live healthy for a long time.
  • Plants will not be able to take in oxygen for respiration and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
  • Transpiration in the plant will be stopped and it will accumulate water in the plant.
