Does a plant grow better in microwaved water or regular water?
Depends on what you do with the water. If it is boiling when you pour it over the plant it will most likely scald and kill it. If it is boiling and you water the plant with it, you will damage the roots and the plant will die. However, if you wait until it cools and then water the plant with it there will be little change to the plant.
Is heated water better for plants?
Under normal circumstances this will burn and damage the root system of the plant, possibly severely enough to kill it. Some plants are more tolerant though to hot water and can survive fairly high water temperatures
Does boiling hot room temp. cold or ice water affect plant growth?
Boiling water or super cold water can damage or kill some plants, but, aside from that, I have never of any water temperature being better or worse for plant growth.
Will water temperature effect plant growth?
Yes it does. The hottest the water is, the fastest the plant will die. This needs a little explanation. As you know the roots under the ground are still weak and not strong at all. So the cells that made up the roots are still young. When you give hot water, it will kill it, because the roots can't hold the hot water. Yes. In a high school biology experiment it was discovered that lukewarm water is more conducive to growth than cold water. However hot water would damage the plant. == ==
What do glyphosate do with weeds?
Glyphosate applied to green plant material will translocate through the plant to the roots and kill the whole structure.

Why do you think that salt will kill a plant?
Salt will suck the moisture out of the plant roots, and the upper part of the plant cannot get enough water, so it dies.
What is the affect on plant growth?
it will kill the roots
Does boiling water kill spores?
Boiling water does kill spores. This is because spores are like tiny plants in storage so the boiling water harms them.
What does salt do to plant growth?
Putting salt into plant soil will hinder plant growth and even kill the plant by making the soil outside more concentrated than the environment inside of roots. This stops the absorption of water and minerals by the roots.
Does a boiled bean plant grow?
No. Boiling it will kill it.
What will help your plant salt water sugar water or tap water?
Unless you plant is one that is adapted to brackish water or a seaweed, salt water will kill it. Sugar in the water will also kill most plant roots (though a very small quantity will help cut flowers last longer). Conversely, without water your plant will eventually die, so the answer is that tap water will help your plant.
Does boiling of water at 100 kill endospores?
no
Can a plant refuse water?
my thoughts are this a plant has a specific volume need for water it can vary based on availability of sunlight and how much room the roots have to grow as well as species type and place of origin. To much water can often kill a plant as surely as not enough. If your plant isn't growing and it is not waterlogged or deprived of sunlight (which it needs to effectively fuel its use of the water and soil nutrients) check if its roots are cramped or the water may have a substance that kills the plant.
