Covering the leaves of plants with Vaseline could cause it to die rapidly.
This happens because:
- The stomatal pores are blocked due to vaseline which decreases the rate of respiration as well as photosynthesis as less CO2 is available.
- The blocking of stomatal pores also leads to decrease in rate of transpiration which causes water logging in plants.
- Vaseline also block sunlight from reaching the chloroplasts which affects various oter processes.
