So, I read somewhere that talking to your plants helps them grow better. Decided to give it a shot this morning with my little succulent. I swear, I got so into it, telling it about my day and even made up a little story about the sun and rain. Not sure if it’ll make a difference, but it definitely made me smile. Plus, the cat looked super confused watching me chat with a pot. Has anyone else tried something like this? Or do your plants just get the silent treatment?

Love that you made up a story for your succulent - that’s next-level plant parenting! My guess is the plants might not understand the words, but they definitely pick up on the vibes, so your positive energy probably helps more than you think. Plus, if it makes you happy and your cat entertained, that’s a win-win.

I've heard some folks say talking to plants increases humidity around them (from your breath) and that can help, but honestly, I think the real magic is in the care and attention you give. Keep chatting away; your succulent’s probably the happiest one on the block!

Love the image of you spinning a tale for your succulent - sounds like a fun way to brighten your morning! I’ve tried chatting with my herbs before, mostly just random updates or jokes, and honestly, it makes watering time way more enjoyable. Plus, if your cat’s confused, that’s just extra entertainment for the day.

Whether it actually helps the plants grow, who knows? But if it adds a little joy to your routine, that’s a win in my book. Keep the stories coming, and maybe your succulent will start giving you some green thumbs up vibes back!
