Detailed explanation-1: -This occurs because of excessive loss of water by transpiration. The rate of loss of water vapor in transpiration in these plants exceeds the rate of absorption of water by the roots. The plants suffer a lack of water and wilt. This type of wilting can be seen in Balsam plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the main signs of too little water is that the leaves on your houseplant might look brown, feel limp, or even a little crispy around the edges. According to a study by the Journal of Tropical Ecology, too little water can stress out your houseplants and the lack of moisture will result in drooping houseplants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wilting is an adaption that many plants use to reduce water loss during the hottest part of the day. A wilted leaf has less surface area exposed to sunlight and therefore will not lose water as quickly. Plants that are wilted in the afternoon will often perk back up at night and look perfectly happy by morning.

Detailed explanation-4: -If there is too much water or the soil is constantly wet, there is not enough air pockets. This results in a limited oxygen supply and plants are not able to breathe. When plants have too little water, leaves turn brown and wilt. This also occurs when plants have too much water.
