Did you know that your plants have a unique life and a language all their own?

A plant responds to the individual who cares for it; here are a few ideas to help them flourish!

They Have a Great Sense of Direction. Vine plants have good navigational skills; the higher they climb, the fuller they grow.

When you move whatever it is a climbing plant climbs on, it’ll adjust and correct its course within a ew hours.

To encourage the best performance in climbing plants, give them support, like a piece of bark or a trellis.

They Like Music! Plants can prosper or wither depending on what type of music is played (they have certain preferences).

Loud music can stunt their growth, while classical or soft rock promotes it.

They seem to love East Indian music!

Plants Communicate With Each Other. They produce a special vibration, warning other plants of impending danger, when under threat.

If you spray a few drops of dishwashing liquid mixed with water on the leaves, it’ll keep away pests without harming the plant.

They Have Internal Body Clocks that’s regulated by light and the temperature.

If you’re growing plants indoors with artificial light, be sure to switch off the light at night. Some plants can even sleep by shifting their leaves or closing their flowers. They’ll droop when their natural rhythms change.

Plants Are Aware of and Sensitive to Their Surroundings. They don’t have eyes or ears, but plants have other senses.

They can react to the thoughts of people near them, and can get stressed out if someone’s thinking of doing them harm.

Keep your plant calm simply by being very kind to it.
