The Fascinating Language Of Plants

Trigger


Article “The Secret Language of Plants” published by the Simmons Foundation.


Smarter Animals


In recent years, we have learnt more and more about how many animals are much more intelligent and much more able to communicate even complicated things than a majority of humans ever expected.


Plant Communication


Have we not heard stories before where some people were saying that plants at home would talk to them or plants could get lonely or plants would respond to human suffering/happiness etc.


It appears in recent years more evidence has been discovered that there is something like chemical or even electrical communication going on between plants of the same kind or other kinds (inter and intra plant communication) or between plants and insects.


A Plant Brain?


Since we still do not understand animal or human brains very well how can we rule out that plants have no brain?


Does a plant brain have to function similar to an animal brain?
