• Question: Is it true if you sing to plants it develops them quicker? I heard that scientists recently found out that they make clicking sounds to each other but couldn't that just mean that there was a bug or something to make the clicking noise?

      I would hope that they would have looked for bugs during the experiment.

      I think that many plants communicate by releasing chemicals into the air, and I’m sure its true that singing to plants helps – but maybe this is due to the warmth and carbon dioxide you are giving them?

      I’ve not heard that. I don’t know.
