The age-old question has been posed to use recently, and we decided to answer it now: does music have an effect on
plant growth?
So your plants aren't doing well and you have tried everything to heal them. You begin to ponder the age-old question.
A woman by the name of Dorothy Retallak found herself plagued by this question: " Does music have an effect on plant growth?"
She performed and experiment at Colorado Women's College in Denver which proved that plants exposed to soft music for short
periods of time on a daily basis responded so well, the plants actually began growing toward the source of the music.
Her studies concluded that plants exposed to gentle music grew more than those that were not exposed to any music at all.
On the other end of the spectrum, plants that were exposed to hard ( rock and roll) music did badly. Besides not growing
they actually began losing their health and eventually died.
The next time you are in an elevator or waiting in a dentist's office, notice the soft music playing in the background.
It seems that perhaps all that canned "muzac" we've been subjected to for years might have been good for us!
So maybe asking about the effect music has on us is equally as important isn't it? If we can remove the stress from the
equation then we also remove the ailments the stress is causing our physical bodies, which may in fact promote better
health for us too.
So this simple equation may well go for us as well as plants! It does not matter if applied to plant or animal, music does
affect the soul. Next time someone asks you " Does music have an effect on plant growth?" just smile, put on some light
classical music, and ask them how that makes them feel.
