Temporary wilt is a condition in plants where leaves and stems droop due to a lack of water. This can occur during hot weather or when the soil is dry, causing the plant to lose turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is the force of water inside plant cells that helps maintain their structure. When a plant experiences temporary wilt, it is not necessarily dying. If the plant receives water soon after wilting, it can recover quickly. This response is a natural mechanism for plants to conserve water and reduce stress until conditions improve, such as when rain falls or irrigation occurs.
