You Dumb Bitch, I'm Dry as Hell, and Why Your Monstera Hates You
This week we're exploring what your plants actually wish you knew, thanks to a question from @UncommonPlantGuy.
We start by admitting we all don't have a green thumb (Lego plants don't count). Then we dive into the fact that plants have five senses. They can hear vibrations, taste chemicals in water through fungal networks, feel through their vines, and see in UV and infrared light. Sunflowers literally follow the sun across the sky. One of us saw Reiki performed on a dying plant and it came back to life. We spiral into horror movies about murderous vines that choke people at night, reference every famous plant in pop culture (Audrey Two, the Whomping Willow, Grandmother Willow), and somehow end up debating whether plants judge you for having sex in front of them.
