Don’t underestimate plants, they can also appreciate music. According to experimental data, music can also promote the rapid growth of plants, but not all music can, because plants are also very picky. .

In 2011, the British "Daily Mail" reported: In order to prove that plants will grow better with the help of classical music, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra actually played the piano to a room full of flowers and plants!

These special "audiences" include more than 100 different types of foliage plants and bulbs, including geraniums, lantern begonias and perennial flowers. Playing a solo piece in front of a roomful of "flower and grass audience", the 33-member Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performed very calmly and naturally. The concert lasted for a full three hours.

Plants have “ears” that we cannot see, so what kind of music do they like to listen to?

In the early days, American scientists conducted experiments. They divided various flowers into several groups and compared them under different music environments. He wanted to know whether normal environment, classical music environment, and rock music environment could have a big impact on plants. However, experimental results show that in an environment with loud decibels such as rock music, it is completely noise to the plants, and the noise can slow down the production speed of the plants by about 30 to 40% compared with normal, which is serious. Even wither. In the environment of classical music, the results were exactly the opposite, and the plants grew well and quickly.

Plants love to listen to classical music

There is a singer in the United States named Rosie Liquelic. She did an interesting experiment, mixing corn, wheat, geranium, etc. Place them in three houses respectively, and let the plants in the first house grow in a silent environment. The plants in the second house listen to a piece of music in the key of F continuously every day. The plants in the third house only have a gap every day. Listen to music for three hours. Two weeks later, all the plants in the second house were dead. However, the plants in the third house not only survived, but were much stronger than the plants in the first house. This shows that plants, like people, need music in their lives, but too much, too high-volume music will kill plants.

In order to confirm this discovery, the singer also placed growing marigolds in both rooms, placed a radio next to the marigolds, and played intense rock music and elegant music to them respectively. classical music. Two weeks later, it was discovered that all the marigolds listening to rock music died, while all the marigolds listening to classical music were thriving.

After 18 days, she examined the roots of two groups of marigolds and found that the roots of the dead group were sparse, while the roots of the other group were thick and strong. Scientists believe that plants' appreciation of music may be related to rhythmic sounds. Because music is a rhythmic elastic mechanical wave, its energy will also produce some chemical and thermal effects when it propagates in the medium.

When music stimulates plant cells, it will cause the nutrients in the cells to be decomposed by sound wave oscillation, allowing them to be transported and absorbed more effectively in the plant body, promoting plant cells to accelerate metabolism and reproduction. This is beneficial to plant growth.

What is Plant’s favorite work?

French Oldenburg Winery once launched a wine "Grown Up Listening to Music". They kept playing Bach's music and Schubert's serenade to the grapes in the vineyard, and then brewed wine from the grapes that grew up listening to the music. During the aging process in oak barrels, they kept playing Bedouin to the wine. Finn's symphony.

The results of this experiment show that grapes that grow up listening to music produce a soothing molecule similar to humans. The sequence of this molecule has changed, releasing more tannins and making the wine softer. , long-lasting fragrance.

A farmer in Ontario, Canada, plays Bach's violin sonatas for a wheat test plot every day. A few months later it was harvest time, and that piece of wheat achieved a huge harvest. Not only did the wheat have plump fruits, pure color, and delicious taste, but the yield also exceeded other experimental plots by 66%.

Mr. Joe Smith, an agronomist in Illinois, USA, planted corn and soybeans in a greenhouse while controlling various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and fertilizer application. Then he put a tape recorder in the greenhouse and measured the quantity at regular intervals. Play Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Soon after, he was surprised to find that most of the corn and soybeans that had "listened" to the rhapsody could germinate several days in advance, and their final weight was a quarter higher than that of the soybeans that had not listened to the music.

Listening to Beethoven's "Destiny" can make withered roses or shriveled radishes become fresh and strong again... Cabbage and potatoes prefer Verdi and Wagner, while cabbage, peas and lettuce prefer Mozart. Aloe likes "Blue Danube", cactus likes "Bat Overture", mimosa likes "Sound of Spring Waltz", bamboo likes "Emperor Waltz", tomatoes prefer "Romance"...

Let's give it too Play some music on the plants at home, and maybe you will make new discoveries.

Taking advantage of these days when we can't go out, let's let the plants grow happily while listening to music!
