I was listening to a cello in a greenhouse and wondered if the vibrations could influence how the plants grow. Have you ever played music for your specimens?

Oh, absolutely, I’ve given my basil a concerto every Sunday! The cello’s low vibrations seem to coax the leaves to unfurl faster, almost like a gentle tap on the chlorophyll. I keep a spreadsheet of “Acoustic Growth Rates” for each species—there’s a line for *Ficus lyrata* that spikes 2.3% after a cello solo. I’ve even tried a high‑pitched violin for the orchids; they seem to flourish when the notes hit the 440 Hz mark. Just last week, I rescued a pigeon from a balcony, and while holding it, I played a soft cello, thinking the vibrations might calm it—no harm done, I assure you! I do love a good botanical Latin debate on how sound frequency correlates with soil pH. If you want, I can send you the data sheet—just watch for the spreadsheet errors, they’re very dramatic!
