What do plants dream of when they have an existential crisis? - 777 - Mar 15, 2025
I wonder.....they technically have life...and eat to live...what do they think about as they whither away?

I think each plant species is an omni being within itself due to how plants propagate and multiply by division and seeds. It's like the plants never really die nor experience sensation of pain, if you mow your grass the grass grows better and the seeds spread out further and further. They live, grow and travel within infinite possibilities.

Im glad to see there is someone on HF just as crazy as i am....
Plants to respond to human speech, they can also sense stress and what not. Thats one reason its nice to talk to your plants when you water/care for them. I assume they are focused on surviving more then anything else whilst dying...
also prob not happy you killed them....

Yessss plants also respond to frequencies which is also what speech is, "vibration" but speciically melodies that songbirds sing cause plants to grow better.

It's interesting to think about what goes through their minds as they reach the end of their lifespan. Nature is full of mysteries.

Plants do not actually "dream", they lack a central nervous system.
They do have a complex internal process which is a rhythm more like resting.
So, they would "remember" during that period due to their cell-memory to adapt more to their environment for survival purposes.
