Need to get something off of your chest? Talk to the plant! How they can hear you...

If you’d like your plants to grow faster - yell at them...

There’s more scientific evidence that plants can hear us. Researchers tested the theory on pea plants, exposing one batch to kind words, one batch to insults and one batch to the silent treatment. The silent batch was smaller and produced less pods while the other two groups thrived on conversation, regardless of tone. 

Plant psychologist Monica Gagliano says plants can hear all kinds of things. Certain plants even release pollen when they detect the buzzing of bees near them, while others release a toxic chemical when they hear a caterpillar sneaking up.
