Are dancing plants rare?
A rare plant that moves! Similar to the more common sensitive plant and related to it, the telegraph plant, also known as the dancing plant, has small leaflets that move in response to touch and vibrations. Plants when hurt will not scream like humans do but will instead emit popping or clicking noises in ultrasonic frequencies outside the range of human hearing that will keep increasing when the plant becomes stressed.While they don’t have nervous systems, like humans do, plants react to light, sound, touch, and even subtle vibrations. Studies show they alter their growth patterns, leaf movements, and responses when touched, exposed to sound, or surrounded by human presence.Research shows that speaking nicely to plants will support their growth, whereas yelling at them won’t. Rather than the meaning of words, however, this may have more to do with vibrations and volume. Plants react favorably to low levels of vibrations.
