Abstract: Recycled water has been widely used for irrigating green plants. The latest research work on the influence of recycled water on green plants is summarized and showed that recycled water can promote green plant growth, change physiological characteristics, optimize quality, increase mineral elements absorption and enhance the comprehensive advantages of resistance. However, because of different plant species composition and quality of recycled water, it may cause certain negative impacts, such as microelement changes, and heavy metal and sodium ion accumulation. This article briefly discusses the feasibility and possible problems associated with use of recycled water for green plants, and indicates important research directions for the future.
