Appreciation post: I used to think talking to my plants was silly, but now I do it every morning

I saw a study from a university in Oregon that showed plants can respond to sound vibrations. Now I spend five minutes a day just chatting with my monstera while I water it. Has anyone else tried this and noticed a real difference?

What kind of stuff do you even say to it? I started telling my spider plant about my day, just simple stuff like if it was sunny out or what I had for lunch. It put out three new shoots in like two weeks after looking sad for months.

Plants pick up on carbon dioxide from your breath when you talk close to them. Try giving it a bit of water right after you chat, since the CO2 can help with growth. I had a peace lily that perked up when I started reading my grocery list out loud next to it every morning.
