interesting music plant growth

  • Plants do like noise. Plants exposed to a set frequency of sound tend to germinate more quickly, grow taller and weigh more than those kept in silence. Both 50,000 hz ultrasound (above the human hearing range) and 5,000 hz sound seem to work. Therefore, there's a good chance that plants like any sound you might play for them, including music.
  • Plants also like good, attentive care. If you are playing music you like for a plant, it may lead you to take better care of it. You will be more likely to carefully water and feed the plant and make sure it has good light. It might look like the music helps the plant grow, when you are actually taking better care of it. Plants like carbon dioxide. If you are standing by a plant, singing to it, it is going to absorb some carbon dioxide from your breath. This could help it to grow more quickly.

      From no effect to drastic. These results are pretty varied.
  • the high frequency of mechanical waves that run hand in hand with rap and acid rock are damaging to the plant.
  • Plants have no auditory organs. They can't hear any more than you could hear through your skin if you had no ears.

      Just as deaf people can feel vibrations, I would assume that plants can feel the vibration of the music. Either gentle music or jarring music

  • The one that was in the best condition was the plant that was in the room with classical music. The second best plant was the one in the room with no music and the one that didn't do so good was the one in the room with rock music.
  • and Rap was last!

      Interesting. Maybe because of all the drum effects it would cause the plants to be unsettled?

      The plants were actually trying to avoid the music because it stunts their growth! That is incredible!!!

      Strings as opposed to drums and steel percussion. It seems like that is more appealing to humans as well

  • The plants showed no reaction at all to country and western music
  • the plants "liked" the jazz that she played them
  • leaned 30 to 70 degrees away from the speakers
  • The plants in the first chamber, with the constant tone, died within fourteen days.
  • Her first experiment was to simply play a constant tone
  • In the chamber with the soothing music, the plants were growing healthily and their stems were starting to bend towards the radio! In the rock chamber, half the plants had small leaves and had grown gangly, while the others were stunted. After two weeks, the plants in the soothing-music chamber were uniform in size, lush and green, and were leaning between 15 and 20 degrees toward the radio. The plants in the rock chamber had grown extremely tall and were drooping, the blooms had faded and the stems were bending away from the radio.
