We were very interested to hear the presentation for May 2, 2019, member Brenda, told us how plants communicate! We talk to our plants and sometimes see results, good or bad. Brenda says that the plants talk to each other!

Inside the plants are organelles, the cells organs. Some are granules the best known is the chloroplast granule which uses sunlight to make sugars. If not used, the sugar is stored in a granule, a form of starch. Gravity makes the sugars stored to be at the bottom of the cells. Light tells the plant to grow toward light that is most blue. More blue light means less plants are around. Photoreceptors perceive the blue color. Plants will grow tall to get out of shadow of other plants.

Plants taste with their roots allowing them to absorb nutrients. Some plants can smell if another plant is around. They perceive in order to compete for light and nutrient. They warn each other of danger, if eaten secrete less tasty substance, also secrete to warn near by plants. Plants do better when we talk to them. Stay smaller if touched! This may delay flowering, and accelerated aging! They listen to music, researching is still going on.

So remember, our plants may not like touching but do like conversation and music! A nice reason to some music for ourselves and for our plants!

****You may also get assistance at the IFAS Extension where Master Gardeners are available from 8 am-noon and 1- 5 pm weekdays; or call 407-254-9200.
