"Wilt" refers to the condition in which a plant loses its turgor pressure, causing its leaves and stems to droop or become limp. This often occurs due to insufficient water, leading to dehydration. When a plant does not receive enough moisture, it cannot maintain its structure, resulting in a wilted appearance. Several factors can contribute to wilting, including high temperatures, lack of nutrients, or root damage. Drought conditions can exacerbate this issue, making it crucial for gardeners to monitor soil moisture levels. If addressed promptly with adequate watering, many plants can recover from wilting and regain their healthy appearance.
