The response of plant growth to
human speech been a common claim by many plant owners and certain
botanists, however most botanists attribute it to carbon dioxide.
The physiology of plants can not
support any claim that plants are responding with emotion as they do not
have the audio sences present in an animal.
The factors that effect plant
growth are temperature, Carbon dioxide, oxygen, water etc;
So it is no surprise to the
explanation given by botanists that the carbon dioxide generated by the
speech is likely to be assisting the growth.
Another likely cause which has not been
scientifcaly proven is care, where a person who goes to the extent of
talking to the plant is evidently likely to provide the plant with
adequate conditions such as fertilizer, light, sufficient amounts of
water etc; hence the ideal conditions will be set for the growth of the
plant. However its highly unlikely that by simply talking to a plant
while neglecting the other factors will improve its growth.
