Wilting

Plants always lose water to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation.
Simultaneously, the plant cells lose water and draw more from the soil.
Wilting is a phenomenon that occurs when plant cells lose more water than they draw from the soil making the plant cells to lose their turgor pressure and droop.
At night, plants always recover from wilting since stomata are closed and water loss through evapotranspiration is significantly reduced.
Where water supply from the soil is inadequate, the plants may fail to recover from wilting and instead undergo permanent wilting.
