flower - One of my favorite in my door garden.
Yes I do I don't have green thumb but I'm I do take care them a lot specially on watering them everyday. And I also talk to them so that they will give me healthy and colorful flowers everyday. I love seeing those flowers everyday it makes me relax when I woke up and they smiled at me. I will show you some of my collections of flowers in my door garden.

It is the chemicals in a human's breath that is good for the leaves of plants. That is why they say talk to your plants. And as long as you water them once a week, they Should be ok. Good Luck.

I actually don't have any plants at my house that I'm able to talk to, but I would imagine that if I did then I would probably talk to them because I find that I talk to all kinds of other inanimate objects. I mean I talk to my computer and I talk to the television and I even talk to the dishes when I'm doing them. There are a lot of people that tell me that this habit is a sign of the fact that I'm crazy.

Yes, I do talk to my plants. I have an African Violet that I've had for 3 years. It's done well all these years. I have a yellow rose potted plant that doesn't do very well. I hope that it will do better when we move. There we will have a solarium or sun room and they can get lots of sun. Hope they will like it there. My rose seems to be so unhappy... I feel bad for her. My violet does fine. I talk to them both.

I sure talk to my plant. I have some indoors and some outdoors. As they are living things, they want to be fed and cuddled. How about watering them at a certain hour, so you donĀ“t forget? And while you are at it, you can tell them how beautiful they are and marvel at a new leaf or a blossom.

Hi laken: I don't have plants but I have seen my mother talking to her plants. It must be a very relaxing activity I guess and at the same time you are helping your plants to grow up giving them an extra dose of CO2 which is also really good for them at the same time. ALVARO

I do talk to my plants. I live in an apartment complex for seniors. I have plants on my balcony and over the railing. Some are doing real well. I tell them, sometimes, how beautiful they are. Also now and then, one gets a bloom. I always comment on the blooms. Supposedly, plants also like music. I have heard of persons playing music for their plants to listen to.

I don't have plants at my house as I can never remember to water them and can't look after them very well. So, I don't keep plants as I don't wnat them to die. However, my mother has many plants at her place and loves to look after them. As for talking to plants, I don't talk to them but I love to look at them blossom...

I don't. Cause we don't have any plants at home. Only plants that made up of plastics. Hehe.

yes sometimes I do. there's a belief that if you'd talk to them while taking care of them, their growth will hasten. hehe i dont know if this is true, but as for me, i do talk with them, like pets.

No, I don't talk to plants or flowers... that's weird . However I talk to my dog the whole time, I talk to myself and I talk to the computer (I even stand up and dance when something good happens like some unexpected earnings, or a new referral) . You should better water those plants instead of telling them you're sorry! I have few plants on my rooms window and sometimes I forget to water them but since I spend a lot of time on my room, it's kind of hard to forget. I think you should put those plants in some place where you see them multiple times a day, like the bathroom or the kitchen so you don't forget

I begin my comments by saying that: First, I never speak with plants, because they did not respond. Then said more concretely, I personally, living in an apartment without a garden, plants, basically I do not. Only my mother keeps on the small balcony of the room a few pots. Fortunately, this balcony is sunny. She remembers to water them, but she, like me, do not talk to them! However, I am very sensitive to all forms of life, even that of plants.

You'll find reliable references on the internet to HRH Prince Charles (UK and Commonwealth) talking to plants. Anyone feel they can invite him to join mylot and contribute to this discussion? But you must let him know he needs to read the guidelines if he's to earn money with us.

No, I don't talk to them, perhaps that's the problem The plants I take care of usually survive, but I see they do much better in other peoples home... I think they are the ones who talk to their plants. It's time to start talk therapy for them
7 Apr 12
Huh.. it sounds funny?!!? Tlking to the plants seems no meaning at all.. you may water them or take a good care foe them so that they can grow more and live more.. But talking to them doesnot hold any meaning..
