A gardener forgot to water a potted plant for a day during summer, what will happen to the plant? Do you think it is reversible? If yes, how?

If the gardener forgets to water the plant for a day during summer, the rate of transpiration is more due to the higher temperature than the absorption of water so this will lead to wilting or losing of the plant's turgidity.

It is reversible only if the time for which it is not watered is short. If its long then the plant eventually dies but if its small then upon getting the required amount of water, the tissues again gain turgidity.
