I laughed at my neighbor for talking to his plants, then I tried it for 30 days

My neighbor George has this whole routine where he chats with his monstera every morning, I thought he was crazy lol. But after my pothos started dropping leaves for no reason, I figured why not give it a shot for a month. I talked to it about my day, complained about traffic, even read a chapter out loud once. The new growth on that thing after 30 days was insane, like 7 new leaves easy. Has anyone else had something actually change after trying the plant talk thing?

Man my pothos did the same thing after I started talking to it. I just kinda grumble at mine about the weather or whatever and it went from 3 sad leaves to a whole trailing mess in like 2 months. I think the CO2 from your breath actually helps them grow, plus they can feel the vibration of your voice. George probably knows what he's doing with his monstera. Next time I'm gonna try reading a whole book to my snake plant and see if it finally puts out a pup.

lol I actually saw some study about how plants respond to sound vibrations and it's wild. They did this experiment with talking to tomato plants and the ones that got talked to grew way bigger than the silent ones. Can't remember if it was the vibration or the CO2 but either way, my calathea is about to get a full gossip session about my neighbor's drama.
