While they have uncovered a range of products and materials that will assist with the healthy growth of a plant, they have also come across research carried out by South Korean scientists, indicating that talking to your plants plays an important part of the growth process.
According to The Scotsman, “plants are known to respond to light, temperature, touch and vibration”. The south Korean team, led by Dr Mi-Jeong Jeong conducted a number of experiments and discovered that the plants became more responsive to high pitched sounds and less responsive to sounds of a lower pitch. According to Professor Ben Selinger of the Australian National University, plants actually communicate with each other by using a range of chemical signals. Furthermore, talking to your plants will emit CO2, giving them the chemicals they need to help growth. According to Steve of Great Stuff Hydroponics, actions speak louder than words and there are number of steps we can take to assist growth and ensure the happy healthy state of our plants.
