As plants need some amount of salts to sustain life.It basically depend on the amount of saline water watered to the plant .If the concentration is high then by the principle of osmotic diffusion the plant will loss water (as the concentration is higher outside the plant) thus leading into dehydration and then death in plant.

∙ 9y agoIf you watered a plant with salt water, the plant will slowly die. This is because the salt water would actually dehydrate the plant from the nutrients it needs.

Is sea water good for watering plants?
AnswerSea Water is salty and might not be useful for watering house plants because salt will ruin the plant by osmosis due to water potential differences. So, better to use sweet water. Plants that grow in salt water are different. So, salt water plants and sweet water plants are different.

salt water because i tasted it before
Why would replanting trees help reduce salinity?
By replanting trees, they can control the water levels in the ground (the source comes from a water table) to make the salt rise up and out of the ground and on top of the grass. And what this does is with rain, the salt dissolves and also kill weeds from the area surrounding the tree.
