Verified by Experts

If gardener forgets to water the plants, it will start it wilting (a physiological state of plant in which plant leaves droop down). If watered in time, the plant may recover and become normal.
But in second condition, if watering is delayed, the plant will not recover as if it reaches at physiological wilting state, it will not recover and dies.
