Yes, plants with a small supply of water will often grow very slowly. They also tend to have smaller leaves as approximately 90% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost through evaporation through the the leaves. Hydrogen in water is mixed with carbon dioxide in the air to make carbohydrates, food for the plants. Little water means little food so generally, plants with a plentiful supply of water will grow faster and stronger (assuming they have adequate levels of sunlight) it helps plants grow

∙ 14y agoThe amount of water available does affect the growth of plants. If there is not enough water for the plant in question, it will grow slowly, and stay small, and it may not flower or fruit. If there is too much water around a plant's roots it can not get water from the soil (because of the pressure differential between the soggy soil and inside the plant roots), and will either be stunted or die. Too much water can also encourage the growth of soil-bornd or air-borne pathogens which can affect the plant's growth.

∙ 15y agoWater has a major effect on plant life. The plant cells need the water in order to stay hydrated, and leftover water is stored within the vacuole of the cells of the plant. Water allows all the organelles, cells, and other parts of the plant to function properly without dehydration and dying off. Without water, there will be no plant life. Cactus may seem to live without water, but when water does come by, the cactus uses it sparingly and stores all of the water in the center of the cactus for later use. Even desert plants need water.

∙ 13y agoAbsolutely. If you plot growth rate vs. amount of water given to the plant, you will see a bell curve, meaning the plant will increase growth rate with more water...to a point. Then overwatering will decrease the rate of growth.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWell, yes it does for sure. If plants don't get enough they will die or look sick.

∙ 14y agoyes, it does affect plant growth. Too much or too little water will cause the plant too whitter while if your plant have the right amount, your plant will grow healthily

Does the amount of water affect the height of a pea plant?
yes you can. i did that in science class, i was boring by the way.
What are the factors that affect plant growth?
Light, water, carbon dioxide.
Which influences the rate of a plant growth in different types of plants?
Nutrients, soil properties, light, water availability, the presence of herbivores, pathogens, parasites, and mutualists
How does salt water and soda affect plants?
it makes the plant growth not fast
Does salt water affect bean plant growth?
Yes, salt water does affect bean plant growth. Many think that it can make them grow better than regular water, but the water can affect the natural sodium in the bean making them taste saltier.
Does Tab water affect the growth of a plant?
tab water is like ordanary water but it comes from pipes. but no tab water doesn't affect the growth of a plant
Does any other liquid affect plant growth?
Yes, water is one liquid that affects plant growth. Along with plain water, salt water and carbonated water can affect the growth of plants.
Can water affect plant growth?
Yes

Does swamp water affect plant growth?
Not much of anything.
How does water and light affect plant growth?
Makes it big!
How does salt in soil affect humans?
Salinity becomes a problem when enough salts accumulate in the root zone to negatively affect plant growth. Excess salts in the root zone hinder plant roots from withdrawing water from surrounding soil. This lowers the amount of water available to the plant, regardless of the amount of water actually in the root zone. The main point is that excess salinity in soil water can decrease plant available water and cause plant stress. Decreased plant growth translates into less agriculture to sustain human population and surrounding ecosystems.
