Put salt and pepper on your steak.  Not your plants.

Others have answered the question with drinking salt water.  The stomatas are pores in leaves that regulate the absorption & evaporation of water, along with gas exchange.\n\nDepending on the evnironmental condition, stomata will open up if there's lots of moisture in envoronment to absrob extra water.  If environment is dry, stomata will close to conserve its water content by reduing the evaporation.\n\nEffects of salt water on stomata, I'm not very sure but it's sure to give a lot of stress on the plant.  Stomata will open up a lot more in wet condition, and close longer & tightly during dry condition.\n\nSo main thing is, that if you give plants salt water, it's like giving very little water.

Health effects\nSodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. Too much or too little salt in the diet can lead to an electrolyte disturbance, which can cause severe, even fatal neurological problems. Excessive consumption of sodium has also been linked to high blood pressure, although it seems likely that the degree of this effect varies greatly depending on the individual. The Salt Manufacturers' Association (U.K.) claims that there is no evidence of a causal link between salt intake and mortality or cardiovascular events. [1] [2]\n\nA high salt diet has been linked to exercise-induced asthma [3] and a reduction of bone density in girls [4]. On the other hand, salt is used as a health aid as well, such as in treatment for dysautonomia [5].\n\nSalt may contribute to obesity [6].\n\nSalt substitutes (with a taste similar to regular table salt) are available for individuals who wish to restrict their sodium intake. These substitutes contain mostly potassium chloride, which will increase potassium intake. Because excess potassium intake can cause potentially fatal hyperkalemia, it is advisable to check with one's physician and pharmacist before using salt substitutes. Various diseases and medications may decrease the body's excretion of potassium, thereby increasing the risk of hyperkalemia.\n\nTable salt\n \nSingle-serving salt packetsTable salt is refined salt, containing nearly pure (95% or greater) sodium chloride. It usually contains substances that make it free flowing (anticaking agents). It is common practice to put a few grains of uncooked rice in salt shakers to absorb extra moisture when anticaking agents are not enough. Table salt is also often iodised—a small amount of potassium iodide is added as a dietary supplement. Table salt is mainly employed in cooking and as a table condiment. Iodised table salt has essentially eliminated disorders of iodine deficiency in countries where it is used. Iodine is important to prevent the insufficient production of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), which can cause goitre, cretinism in children, and myxedema in adults.\n\nTable salt is now used all over the world.

I really advise that you dont try it.\n\nToo much table salt will create a sodium imbalance in your body. \nSodium ions in your body are responsible for transferring chemical signals between nerve cells, so as you can imagine it's kind of important.

Maybe the MgCl woulf affect the plant by some chemical reaction i dunno what you are asking.

No. Salt is chemically the same wherever you go. Besides that, it actually increases your risk for developing hypertension.

Right now the most productive and salt-tolerant plants (halophytes) include a shrubby species of Salicornia (glasswort), Suaeda (sea blite) and Atriplex (saltbush). Salt grasses such as Distichlis and viny, succulent-leaved ground covers such as Batis are also highly productive. Most of these crops are suitable for animal feed or vegetable oil. Bioengineering may produce cultivars that will be more suitable for human consumption.

Yes, actually if you water the plants too much the roots gets rotten and die, on the other hand if you don't water the plants they also die, so it has to be a balance, water moderate once a day and plenty of sunlight, that's the idea..☺

The amount of salt that we eat has a direct effect on our blood pressure. The more salt we eat, the higher our blood pressure. This is true, not only in people with high blood pressure, but also in people with normal blood pressure. A high salt intake also causes other health damage such as greater retention of water in your body, which leads to swelling of the ankles. Too much salt also worsens thinning of the bones (osteoporosis), asthma and kidney disease and is closely related to cancer of the stomach. Therefore, everyone should cut the amount of salt they eat.\n\nThe Department of Health and Food Standards Agency recommend that everyone should cut their salt intake from the current amount of 10 to 12 grams of salt a day to 5 to 6 grams a day, or less. If you can reduce salt intake more, this will lower your blood pressure further

Depends on how much salt. Without salt, there is probably some seeds somewhere in the soil that will sprout, but too much salt will render the soil infertile and nothing will happen.

It should be noted that you are salty. We have a natural salinity that is important to maintaining homeostasis. Any disruption of our salinity can cause serious metabolic and physiologic problems.

How about the reaction slugs have to salt?

Some water is essential for all plant growth, though necessary amounts vary for individual species. Too little water will cause the plant to wither and die, and too much water will waterlog the roots and rot them, killing the plant.

Salt is a crystal......crystals grow when brought back to solid form
