Plants don’t have ears, eardrums, or brains. But they are astonishingly good at picking up vibrations, air movement, and tiny pressure changes—things your voice produces every time you speak. So while your pothos isn’t eavesdropping on gossip, it’s not living in silence either. Do Plants “Hear,” or Do They Feel Sound? Sound is vibration passing … Read more
