Can a plasmolysed cell become turgid again?

If the cell membrane has pulled away from cell wall can, it become turdgid if then amount of water it gets increases? Because I was thinking if a plant droops (cells are flaccid) its hard to make this plant stand up right and be healthy again??

Plasmolysis is a reversible process, yes. The opposite of plasmolysis is deplasmolysis, when plasmolysed cells are placed in a hypotonic solution and water enters the cell, making it turgid again.
