4. Positive Talk
Now this one may seem really silly to you… but, experimentally controlled research has shown, that positive talk encourages positive plant growth, and negative talk encourages plants death.
IKEA actually was a proud sponsor of one of these experiments where the effects of bullying plants were measured. The Global News network online caught wind of the experiment and posted loads of blog-type information about it.
People have made comments from around the world. I have also read suspicions that simply the inward admiration of onlookers has been a reason that plants closer to pedestrians have thrived more than those back behind line of eyesight. If you want to play it safe… love your carrots and let them know you do.
Consistency is another way we can show love to our young growing plants… this can go for times of positive talk and admiration, and even for watering times, too.
