Music for your orchids?

[wanderingstar]

Does anyone play music for their plants?

I've done a lot of reading on frequencies and I do notice my plants seem to respond well. Here's some light reading.

Radio goes almost constantly...plants and felines haven't complained yet! I'm partial to classical.

I've been playing classical and frequencies at 432 hz. I've read it's great for growth and dna repair!

I don't know about the plants, but listening to baroque when I'm watering makes me feel better.

It's kind of embarrassing to even admit this, but I like to play sounds of nature, like the sounds of rainstorms and showers in the tropics, babbling brooks, chirping birds, etc. I also talk to them while I water them. Alot. Entire conversations.

I don't know if it does anything for the plants, but I greatly benefit from a huge reduction in stress. I water my plants as soon as I get home from my very stressful job, and by the time I am done, all thoughts of work are gone till the next day. My wife frequently comments on how much calmer I have been since I started this lovely hobby. The flowers are really just a wonderful bonus.

I like forest sounds also when I'm with my orchids, it helps me escape from my worries.

I also pump some house, trance, or drum and bass for them when I feel like dancing

Oh, I agree! I play nature sounds and talk to mine as well. After watching an old documentary, Secret Life of Plants, many years ago, I developed a new appreciation for plant life and that's when my gardening obsession kicked in. Don't be embarrassed! I think the world would benefit by having more appreciation of nature around us. I just hope I give my plants a little of the joy they give me. In the meantime, people just call me the crazy plant lady.

I sing constantly around my orchids. I sing musical theater tunes and some opera. Nothing has died yet so apparently they like it? however, I do play the radio as well.

My orchids like symphonic metal, alternative & rock

I've taken to playing Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" to try to get my Ophrys in the mood.
