The leaves of a healthy plant coated with vaseline will not remain healthy because the vaseline coating will block the stomata. As a result,

  • The plant would not get oxygen for respiration.
  • It would not get carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis.
  • The upward movement of water and minerals would be hampered due to lack of transpiration.
