Music & Plants

So, does music affect plant growth? This is still a question mark in the fraternity of scientists.

Example of how music affect plants Ben, a 19-year old teenager was very fond of playing violin and was pretty good at it as well. Interestingly, he had a few houseplants in his room where he used to play his violin and he used to water them regularly. After a while he observed that those plants had grown better than the other plants in the house, even though the regular watering was same for all.

However, if you decide to use music to improve your garden, it's important to do it in a careful and controlled manner, and to understand the controversy behind the claim that music affects plant growth at all.

Different type of music have different affect on the same plants. In a research, rock music was played to one group of plants and soothing music to another. Rock music – grew sickly and small Soothing music - grew large and healthy, growing towards the radio just like they bend towards sunlight.

Different length of music have different affect on the same plants In another experiment, music was played daily for three hours a day in one laboratory, and it was played for eight hours a day in another. 3 hours a day - grew twice as large and were twice as healthy as those in a music-free environment. 8 hours a day - died within two weeks of the experiment beginning.
