Don't you think it's strange to talk to plants? Almost not! What benefits does it bring?
If you are a flower lover and gardener, you probably care about making sure your plants receive the best possible care. But did you know that connecting with them can help them grow? And this is not the only advantage.
The idea of talking to plants may seem strange to you, but experts say the exact opposite. In fact, in a survey conducted by Trees.com, nearly half of the 1,250 people surveyed said they had talked to flowers before. What's even more interesting is that two-thirds of these people said that interacting with plants helps them grow.
Gardening expert Lina Cowley told Best Life that talking to plants is actually a good idea: "Plants are living organisms, and like all living things, they respond to their environment." plants and music have a stimulating effect on their growth. One theory is that plants are sensitive to vibrations, and talking near them creates a vibration that promotes their growth. Another theory is that interacting with plants increases the carbon dioxide levels around them, which promotes photosynthesis and growth.”
The theories of experts are supported by research. For example, a 2009 study by the Royal Horticultural Society in the UK found that tomatoes grew faster when they heard women's voices.
Other studies have focused on music. For example, a 2015 study published in the Journal of Integrative Sciences, Innovation and Technology demonstrated that music helped marigolds thrive, whether it was Indian humming songs or meditation songs. On the contrary, noise had a negative effect on plant growth.
Talking to plants reduces stress
So, interacting with plants not only speeds up their growth, but is also good for your mental health. A lawn expert told Best Life: "Talking to plants can help reduce stress and improve mental health by providing a sense of calm and connection." It can also be a form of mindfulness, helping people focus on the present and cultivate a sense of peace and well-being.”
