Did You Know

 Did you know, plants make sounds when they are stressed at an ultrasonic level that humans can't hear?

I didn't know - but it makes sense.

I hope my pot of petunias don't cry when I deadhead it daily. I'm trying to make it look more beautiful.

Elizabeth Seckman said...

That depresses me. I'm not the best plant person, so mine are probably wailing!

Jeanie said...

It's probably a good thing I can't hear them or else I'd really be going nuts!

Jamie Ghione said...

Nope, never knew this :)

EC, There's so much conscious life that we are barely aware of,isn't there?
Denise, I've heard that too. Makes sense, doesn't it? xo
Elizabeth, I get it. I'm rethinking cut flowers.
Jeanie, Unless it's happy sounds, I'm rather glad too. They'd all be screaming at me for water.
Jamie, Your plant factoid:)

No lo sabía. Te mando un beso.

CJ Kennedy said...

Just as I thought. Carrots must scream as they are yanked from the ground!

Birgit said...

I knew this because I watched. Documentary on this. It also explains why they hate me..I’ve killed more plants than the average person

Sandra Cox said...

Val, Good idea:)
Christine, Apparently.
JP, Sending you a hug
CJ, Ouch.
Birgit, Heh.

Hi Sandra - yes I gather they do ... the soil is constantly 'moving' and resonating ... as are all growing things - or changing things - including plate tectonic - I'm a pain aren't I?? Cheers Hilary

I did know this. I've also listened to plants make music. Not like ours exactly, but very serene. I can't say whether it's manipulated or to what degree, but there's a lot of cool research to support plants making sounds.
