If I scream and curse at my plant, will it die?

Question

Even if i water it and give it food?

Answer 1

I doubt it but I can't imagine that it is to good for you.

Answer 2

Everything dies eventually.

However, if you are cursing out your plant, it seems likely that you do not have the emotional bond towards your plant that would lead to much interest in watering, feeding, or checking to see that it is still healthy.

Also, since yelling at plants is a rather unusual thing to do, it is likely that someone who swears at a plant will lack the mental stability to care for another living thing for any real length of time.

So yes, some day, your plant will die. While screaming and cursing at it may not affect the plant's health, doing so will affect your attitude towards the plant, which will probably result in a reduction of care, and a faster plant death.

Also, screaming and cursing at your plant may lead to more disturbing behavior towards animals, children, or other people. Please be nice to your plant... Your neighbors are staring at you!

Answer 3

With no real offense, if you feel a need to scream and curse at a plant, you have deeper issues than a dislike for that life form. It also largely suggests a rather inane "test" and in my opinion, if you're screaming and cursing at a plant, the likelyhood is you won't be so inclined to oppositely "care" for it.

I guess one could make the analogy as it relates to people who bitterly fight and then attempt a make up, CONSTANTLY.

Answer 4

Not on your life...don't you ever watch Mythbusters? However,it has been proven that sound vibration can and does help stimulate plant growth...
Water and fertilizer are necessary...even if you ignore the plant,as long as food and water is present in sufficient quantities,it will be OK...

Answer 5

acoording to me I think that if u scream or curse your plant it will not really effect the plant or it will not die,but I am sure that it will effect u because your 27 part of the body will get stress because of the angry nature and it will rude your mood.so I think if u are angry then count numbers from 10 to 1.

Answer 6

Only if you haven't flossed recently.

No, the plants, even sensitive girly plants don't know one type of CO2 emission from another, and who knows? Perhaps you're doing yourself some theraputic good as well.

Abusing or STRIKING the plants is frowned upon however.

Answer 7

Well, you can try an experiement; get two plants, and scream at only one. Otherwise, treat them the same, and see which one does best :-)

Answer 8

No I think it will enjoy the attention, and especially the carbon dioxide from your breath (which is a great plant stimulator).

Answer 9

No - I have screamed and cursed at various weeds and they just keep on growing.

Answer 10

its strange and i wouldnt believe it but..... my mother had an ivy in one bedroom window and another in another bedroom. same plant, same exact light and conditions. one she always talked nice to, one she would talked mean to. the one she talked nice to always grew better than the one she was mean to. she carefully measured the water and fertilizer to make sure each had same amount. when she passed my sister got the plants (she has tons of plants and knows how to care for them) the one my mother was nice to died within a month. the one she was mean to still lives today, ten years later? spooky but true

Answer 11

no. talking to plants adds carbon dioxide that it needs to the air near it. your dog can dit and pant and have the same effect.
although, mythbusters proved havey metal stimulates growth.
