Plants have more senses than we do, they have learning abilities, a decision-making system and memory, they communicate with each other. plants see when we approach them and know when we stand above them. They even know if our shirt is blue or red. The flowerpot on your porch knows if you have painted the walls or if you have moved it to another place, it knows what time it is and what the exact temperature is at any given moment.
in the 1960s, a man named Cleve Backster, a polygraph specialist, was sitting in his New York office, staring at the flowerpot in front of him, and make him take a polygraph.
He attached the leaves to the device and hypothesized that when he watered the pot - the electrical conductivity would increase, and this was indeed reflected in the polygraph.
He concluded that the plant is aware of what is happening around it, and even responds to human thoughts and feelings.

what do we have in common with plants?
Professor Daniel Haimovich found that there are sections of genes in common between humans and plants. Scientists estimate that plants and animals have split from a common ancestor about 2 billion years ago.

Indiana University has found that about 30% of the genes in humans are found in various plants. It's not a big similarity.

Plants with "color blindness" will grow taller than their average, probably because they will think they are still in the ground.

We have about 30,000 genes, many plants have more genes than humans, for example rice has 48,000 genes! In our eye retina we have four genes for light receptors, plants have more than 13, they have a separate gene for each color.

In addition, they have a parallel sense to every sense we have. Plants see, smell, taste, hear, feel, and communicate with each other, if we have 5 senses, plants have between 15 and 20 separate senses. We will elaborate about the senses later.

They also have an effective mechanism for making decisions based on the information they receive from all these senses. They can process it and use it to understand their environment and adapt well to specific changes occurring at that moment.

In recent years researchers have discovered that some mechanisms involved in human memory are also found in plants.

Learning and decision making in plants
scientific studies show that plants have memory, learning and decision-making abilities, They can remember environmental events and adapt their biology to prepare for such events in the future

Communication - How do plants talk to each other?
Plants communicate and exchange information with each other and with the environment, with the help of electrical signals that produce chemicals that are similar to neurons in animals, they have 3,000 chemicals in their "vocabulary".

Senses
sight
Darwin was the first to discover that plants detect light and move in its direction, to test where they "see" the light from, he did an experiment - planted a plant in a dark room, a few days later he lit a small lamp in the room, the plant began to grow in its direction. To find the area plants see with, he planted five plants in the room, covering each of them in a different area with an opaque fabric, all the plants bended towards the light, except the plant whose upper end was covered. The conclusion was that at the tip of the plant are its "eyes". Since then, many similar studies have been done and found that plant leaves have about 11 vision sensors

smell - One of the famous experiments on scent in plants is on “Hops”..

Touch - plants have touch sensors, and they do not like to be touched, because in nature it is a threat, Studies have shown that plants that have been touched a lot, tend to stop their growth and sometimes even die.

Taste - Plants can also taste the soil, water, and chemicals, they know if there is a drought or lack of minerals, they know how to defend themselves against these cases as well.

Hearing - most of you have probably heard that if you play music to plants, they will bloom faster.
Lots of research has been done on this, one study measured the development rate of plants exposed to music; some researchers found that seeds germinated faster and that plants tripled their flowering rate when they heard music.

There are even studies examining the musical taste of plants, the most famous study was in the 1960s in Colorado, one researcher who was a strict Orthodox wanted to prove that rock and roll is harmful and destructive to teens, she took 4 plants and played some Mozart and some rock and roll, the plants that heard rock and roll simply withered.

Now, plants do hear, it’s been proven, but all the studies on music in general and musical taste for plants have just failed to prove anything so far
