I was reading about the fact that scientists are saying some plants do scream out of pain. Some scream if they are under watered! Too dry!! Even Plucked leaves cause pain and many other types of grooming can cause pain to many different plants.
This is the very 1st time I've heard about this. It was just on a news feed I was reading.
So I decided to go read more about the subject since I was extremely intrigued by what I had already learned end from that story.
So I have new curious questions for anyone who would care to share you thoughts and opinions on this subject!!!
Do we feel everyday normal grooming plants is a good thing for plants? Such as plucking back dead leaves and keeping the plants neatly groomed is that a GOOD thing for the some plants or would letting nature take it course be better?
I keep my plants very tidy & clean . I often even daily pinch back all dying leaves and blooms so that the plant may use energy to grow more leaves ect, rather than keeping up with old unhealthy and dying leaves ect???
How much does this type of grooming really harm the plant and should I stop grooming SO SO obsessively as I do???
Again. I've always kept my plants tidy but reading all this info makes me feel I am harming my plants!
Should I stop some of the grooming of my houseplants.
I have about 20 ishouse plants! I clean them almost everyday!
By pinching the plant am I causing more pain than necessary? ??
Another question would be is pinching with my tools better than using my fingernails!?!
I literally pinch my plants back with just my nails. I only use a tool if I physically can not do it with my hands..
Again I just want some thoughts on the " screaming plants"
I'm still researching it to learn more just out of my curiosity !
So any articles or information anyone would like to share I'd greatly appreciated it!!!!
Inquiring minds NEED to know! Ha ha
Sorry soo messy!!!!
Happy Gardening laLadies and °and Gentlemen! !!!
