Plants would prefer a hypotonic environment because they will be able to gain water instead of losing water in a hypertonic environment.
Water is very essential for the normal physiological functioning of all living organisms, plant inclusive.
Water will always move into plants in a hypotonic environment and the presence of cell walls in the cells of plants will ensure that they do not take in excess water to the extent of being turgid or bursting.
In a hypertonic environment, plants would lose water and wilt off. In an isotonic environment, important processes in plants would become limited by water because they are neither gaining nor losing water.
