I am always playing some music. I have nice plants. I also live in a subtropical environment, appropriately suited to their needs. Who knows
I know this. I love music. It makes me a better gardener and therefore, unequivocally, it helps MY plants lol

They will most likely be into orchidstral type classical music.

No.
However, if you are playing music you like, chances are you will be in a better mood and more inclined to provide better care for your plants. Or pet fish for that matter.

My plants, orchids plus others, really like Santana. A lot. They also like Uncle Kracker. They sometimes get into country, and on occasion Pink Floyd, etc.
The more I think about this... my plants love all sorts of music, and almost always are into the same genre of the moment that I'm feeling. My plants and I are just simpatico like that.

I would also like to know about the exact specifics of placement of the greenhouses, angle to sun etc and which houses were more on the Northern edges etc. I wasn't impressed with those peas but whatever.
I'm of the mind that talking to plants 'helps'; at least it allows me to baby talk. Though plants don't have 'ears' (or do they) I have a fountain come on periodically throughout the day and like that it adds a touch of moisture to the air. I'm sure they sense water/moisture.
Hopefully someone out there will do a carefully controlled experiment to put this theory to rest once and for all. If there is such a thing as a plant feeling vibration and registering it (they must on some level) then heavy metal would be understandable. Perhaps I'll start looping some deep house tracks several nights a week and see what that does.
I always feel my orchids get the better part of the bargain here - after all, I'm the one doing their bidding.
Am sure we've all known that person with the 'brown thumb' and the other who can do no wrong and plants just seem to thrive under their care/neglect. It wouldn't surprise me at all if orchids have their own complex way of communicating with each other, I don't think we've got the scientific means and correct sensitive instruments to truly figure that out yet.
