I think that 'scatter' and 'wilt' refer to more the source of their powers.

When we first see Ruby, she's at someone's grave, having apparently scattered rose petals across them - a sign of love. However, Adam only ever seems to use his powers destructively. So, the difference between Ruby and Adam is that Ruby's powers ultimately come from her loving personality whilst Adam is motivated by anger and his love of destruction.
