12	'''Wife:''' What's going on, darling?\
13	'''Husband:''' Nothing, I'm just talking to the plants.

16	Many gardeners claim that talking to plants helps them grow faster.
17
18	People talking to their plants in fiction is often used to show how boring they are. A common shtick, especially in cartoons, is for the plant to die of boredom as a result. Leaving jokes aside, this is often done by characters who are feeling lonely or secretive and instead of just speaking to themselves choose to [[SurrogateSoliloquy project their thoughts to another living thing]].
19
20	Some justify this notion with the fact that plants require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which humans and other animals exhale, so spending a lot of time exhaling at your plants would help them grow better. The act of talking to the plant can also [[CompanionCube help the human in question forge an emotional bond to it]], which tends to result in said human paying more attention to and taking better care of said plant.
21
22	Less commonly, the plants [[GreenThumb talk]] [[PlantPerson back]], usually in ways that cannot be translated into words, but TheEmpath may be able to perceive things from their point of view and through their senses.

31	* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': The gadget "Fanta Glass" is normally used for the users to be able to talk to animals, but it can be used to talk to plants, too. Nobita once uses it to talk to a dandelion he plants in his backyard.
32	* In ''Manga/TheHatingGirl'', one side effect of the arrow in Asumi's head is that she can hear the frequencies trees use to talk to each other. This leads to some heartbreak when she discovers a tree the other trees make fun of...and it turns out to have a horizontal bar running through it as a result of growing below some playground equipment. It's a harsh reminder for Asumi of her own situation.
33	* Ai, in ''Popotan''. Mostly to dandelions (or "popotan", as she calls them), but also to other flowers as well sometimes.

36	[[folder:Comic Books]]
37	* In the French comic ''Le Chant d'Excalibur'', Gwynned is able to do this (her mother was a forest nymph), though it's not always useful.
38	* Green Thumb from ''ComicBook/{{Freshmen}}'' can talk to plants. It turns out they're all psychotic assholes, and his pet ficus tree is a {{Yandere}}. Did we mention that he's a vegan yet?
39	* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': Ral Benem, aka Chlorophyll Kid of the Legion of Substitute Heroes, talks to plants in the Postboot, but it's not clear if that's just him talking to himself as he claims being able converse with them is part of his superpower...
40	* In "Love is a Dandy" in ''Plop!'' #16 the main character, who talks to his plants all the time, actually falls in love with a dandelion. Unfortunately for his budding romance, his attractive next-door neighbor, a health-food nut, includes the poor plant in a "special vegetarian dinner" she promised to make for him.
41	* [[GreenThumb Klara]] from ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' mentions doing this on her parents' farm. While the crops just listened, the roses would speak back.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
45	* In a ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' comic, a plant Dilbert was talking to falls off the table. Dogbert then finds a tiny suicide note next to it reading "I couldn't take it anymore."
46	* Zonker in ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}'' had the plants talk back. This later turned out to be a consequence of his drug use.
47	* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'':
48	** Jon recites poetry that accidentally kills his daisies.
49	** In another strip, after being told about this, Garfield tells the plant ''to die''. It works.
50	** In one story arc, Jon's parents visit from the family farm, and Jon's dad is a bit hoarse because he heard about Jon's habit of talking to his plants. As his mom explains, "Ever try giving a pep talk to forty acres of soybeans?"
51	* Lucky Eddie from ''ComicStrip/HagarTheHorrible'' doesn't talk to plants, but is a good listener.
52	* ''ComicStrip/{{Mafalda}}'''s father talks to plants. Manolito's father threatens them.

In the [[https://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2013/09/13 2013-09-13 strip]], Nancy reads a book that advises people to both talk and listen to their plants. Nancy does so...and hears them snore. Turns out, her dog was sleeping on the other side of the bed.

56	[[folder:Fairy Tales]]
57	* In "Literature/MaidMaleen", the titular character talks to a nettle-plant on the way to the church.
58	-->"Nettle-plant, Nettle-plant,\
59	Nettle-plant so small!\
60	What are you doing here,\
61	Alone by the wall?\
62	I have the time known,\
63	When unroasted, unboiled,\
64	I ate thee alone!"
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Fan Works]]
68	* ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager''. Agritech Keshari does nothing to discourage members of Voyager's crew from visiting the hydroponics garden and [[CaringGardener hashing over their problems with her]], because she thinks that talking helps the plants grow.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
72	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferdinand}}'': At the beginning, a young Ferdinand talks to a daisy as he goes to water it.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
76	* The unpleasant Dr. Vance in ''Film/TheGiantSpiderInvasion'' does this.
77	* Creator/MarkWahlberg's character in ''Film/TheHappening'' nervously does this, in a bit of intentional humor, [[spoiler:based on the theory that plants are releasing the neurotoxin that leads people to off themselves.]] It's a moment of much needed levity.
78	* ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978''. Nancy plays Mozart's ''Horn Concerto No. 1'' to help stimulate the plants in her mud bath. This is DramaticIrony given that intelligent pod-plants are trying to take over the world.
79	* ''Film/TheKillerElite'' shows that even CIA agents did this in TheSeventies. Love sonnets however make them die of boredom.
80	* ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'', though the plant eventually talks back.
81	* Marion from ''Film/OneTrickPony'' tells her ex-husband that she talks to her fern every day and gives it lots of encouragement. She hasn't told it about the divorce because it's beginning to sprout new leaves.

83	* Abby's first scene in ''Film/TheReturnOfSwampThing'' shows her talking to her plants, signifying that she's perfect match for Swamp Thing.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Literature]]
87	* One ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'' book has a precocious kid playing different types of music to some plants to see if it affects them. The one that listens to Music/DuranDuran grows the best.
88	* Briar and other plant mages in the ''Literature/CircleOfMagic'' books do this all the time. It actually has an effect though.
89	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has "hedge wizards". As it is written in the novels: "If you invited a hedge wizard to a party he'd spend half the evening talking to your potted plant... and he'd spend the other half listening to it."
90	* ''Literature/FrogAndToad'': In one story, Toad is inspired to start his own flower garden after seeing Frog's and, misunderstanding what it takes to make plants grow, spends the better part of his time over the next few days asking (and eventually, borderline begging) for his planted seeds to start growing. Concluding that the seeds must be too scared to grow, Toad begins singing and reading to the seeds in the hopes that it will make them less afraid, but it still doesn't seem to work. Of course, it's after Toad gives up and goes to bed that he comes back in the morning to find that the seeds have sprouted, much to his relief.
91	* A plant in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' has been hooked up to some kind of monitor out of a belief that understanding the plants will benefit people, leading to this line.
92	-->'''Tash:''' This plant is upset.
93	* Crowley in ''Literature/GoodOmens'' talks to his plants -- or more accurately, threatens them with death on a daily basis. They grow beautifully, but only out of fear. To be more specific: he threatens them regularly, ''then'', every couple months or so, he picks out the plant that has grown the least. He takes it around the apartment, telling all the other plants to say their goodbyes, and goes out and returns to place the empty pot in a conspicuous place. Who ''wouldn't'' be terrified?
94	* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'': Stranded on pre-historic Earth, and [[GoMadFromTheIsolation having spent rather more time with nobody else around than is generally considered healthy]], Arthur Dent practices talking by talking to trees.
95	* It's mentioned in one of the Murry/O'Keefe books by Creator/MadeleineLEngle that Calvin O'Keefe did a science experiment where he had three different plants: one that he left at home with his screaming family, one at the library where he left it by itself, and a third plant at the library that he talked to regularly. Guess how the plants grew?
96	* ''Literature/ThePlantThatAteDirtySocks'': Norman likes to talk and sing to Fluffy, usually at the top of his lungs. Michael talks to Stanley too, but quietly so he isn't obnoxious about it like Norman can be. In book 7, he discovers that Stanley particularly likes being read to.

100	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
101	* In the ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'' episode "Moby Dick", Sally gets a tomato plant. After being encouraged to talk to it, she develops a "friendship" with the plant and names it "Jeremy":
102	-->'''Sally:''' You're so nice. You're not at all arrogant or demanding like most people I know.\
103	'''Tommy:''' You must be bored out of your mind.\
104	'''Sally:''' Actually, I'm not.\
105	'''Tommy:''' I was talking to the plant.
106	* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'': Ophelia Frump rates a mention, though she didn't so much talk to them as have them growing inside her.
107	* On ''Series/{{Angel}}'', this was one of the hell god Illyria's powers. After being [[DePower drained of a significant portion of her powers]], this is oddly the one she seems to be miss the most.
108	-->'''Spike:''' So far, I've established that she can hit like a Mack truck, selectively alter the flow of time, and possibly [[FlightStrengthHeart talk to plants]].\
109	[...]\
110	'''Illyria:''' ''[after losing her powers]'' I cannot hear the song of the green.\
111	'''Lorne:''' I take it you're not referring to me.
112	* ''Series/TheAvengers1960s''. In "Man-Eater of Surrey Green", the normally unperturbed John Steed looks a bit freaked out on seeing the VillainOfTheWeek talking to his Venus Fly Traps as he feeds them. Turns out he's being mind-controlled by an evil alien plant, so we don't know if this was normal behavior for him.
113	* ''Series/Batwoman2019''. Ryan Wilder is introduced living in a van and using her deceased stepmother's potted plant as a CompanionCube. When Tommy Elliot smashes the pot while using it as an ImprovisedWeapon, she [[BerserkButton beats him to a pulp]].
114	* ''Series/{{Blackadder}}''. Blackadder reads an article in The Times entitled, "King Talks to Tree, Phew What a Loony", then remarks that the paper has really gone downhill recently. This was a dig at Prince Charles, who famously talked to his plants, although George III really did talk to a tree during one episode of madness, imagining it to be the King of Prussia. In the next episode, the mad king himself turns up with a rosebush he wants the Prince Regent to marry.
115	* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. Justified in "Shadow" with an alien plant called a moon disc that's mildly telepathic.
116	-->'''Jenna:''' I thought they [the moon disc] died if they left the planet?\
117	'''Cally:''' No. You have to talk to them.\
118	'''Avon:''' That's like talking to Vila. [[DeadpanSnarker A complete waste of time.]]
119	* ''Series/DoctorWho''. In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E6TheSeedsOfDoom The Seeds of Doom]]", plant-obsessed EccentricMillionaire Harrison Chase plays synthesizer music for his plants, though it sounds completely awful to everyone else. He also talks to them, especially when he goes insane and decides to help the Krynoid plant-monster take over the world. Mind you, in this case the plant is [[ItCanThink capable of talking back]].
120	* Subverted in the first episode of ''Series/TheExpanse'' where the XO of the ''Canterbury'' talking to the plants he keeps in his quarters is a sign of his SpaceMadness.
121	* ''Series/TheGoodLife'' has an episode which takes this concept to the extreme. After finding someone who talks to his plants, Tom Good decides to experiment by buying 3 plants and exposing one plant to only compliments (Courtesy of his wife, Barbara), one to only criticism (That's Tom's part) and one to both in order to have a base line to compare both of the other plants to. It doesn't take long for Barbara to name her plant Douglas and give it more care and affection than she shows to Tom.
122	* In ''Series/GoodOmens'', just like in the original novel, Crowley heard about this trope during TheSeventies but, being a demon, has turned it around and threatens his plants instead. When he finds a spot on one of the plants, he takes the pot, shows it to the others, then takes it to the wood chipper, before bringing the empty pot back. The other plants are shown to be quivering, and the narrator points out that Crowley's plants are the best, and the most frightened, in all of London. Creator/DavidTennant's performance is flawless in this scene.
123	--> '''Crowley:''' (''to plant with a spot'') This is going to hurt you ''so'' much more than me. (''turns to the others'') And the rest of you, GROW BETTER!!!
124	* On one episode of ''Series/GoodTimes'', JJ waters his mother's plants and talks to them.
125	-->'''JJ:''' ...and as for you, African Violet: ''Right on, Brotha!''
126	* In ''Series/MorkAndMindy'', Mork talks to plants because he's an alien. It's unknown whether he indeed actually hears them talk back, or he's just a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
127	* ''Series/MythBusters'' attempted to test whether it helped the plants or not. All the plants with sound played near them grew better than with no sound, and music seemed to help more than recorded speech. Furthermore, the [[ThePowerOfRock death metal]] plants grew better than those with classical music.
128	* Spoofed by Creator/RowanAtkinson in ''Series/NotTheNineOClockNews'', as seen in the page quote.
129	* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
130	** Samantha Carter claims in the episode "One False Step" to talk to her plants.
131	** When Teal'c gets an off-base apartment on Earth in one episode, Daniel notes his potted fern isn't doing so well, and jokingly suggests talking to it. Teal'c's reaction is one of stunned confusion.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Music]]
135	* Music/TheArrogantWorms' song "Carrot Juice Is Murder" is about someone who hears vegetables screaming as they're cooked and eaten.
136	* The track "Wayne" on [[Series/TheYoungOnes Neil]]'s Heavy Concept Album is a conversation between Neil and Wayne, his rubber plant, who "talks back to me all the time" (in Neil's voice) and then, at Neil's request, goes on to sing a song.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Podcasts]]
140	* ''Podcast/TheHiddenAlmanac'':
141	** Played with in one of the gardening tips, which notes that the flavor of horseradish is related to stress, and thus recommends that to really enhance the flavor you should be mean and insulting to the plant.
142	** Later on, Drom tells Mord "We may be down to five listeners and I think one is actually a greenhouse that plays us for their plants... The owner says that you have a voice made for begonias."
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Radio]]
146	* During Luis Chataing's era in Morning Radio show ''El Monstruo de la Manana'' he often ran the joke song "La Planta", who is about one boy whose mother talks and care a lot of her plants, with the implication that she cares more about them than about her child. He begins to believe that his mom's plants are his siblings due to her talking a lot to them, and eventually begins to believe that he is a plant too.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
150	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons '': Speak with Plants is a spell available to Druids, Bards and Rangers. It lets them not only speak with the plants to gather information, but also modify overgrown terrain (to make your party's passage easier or slow down an enemy) and release people ensnared by vines.
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:Theater]]
154	* Daisy in ''Theatre/OnAClearDayYouCanSeeForever'' is quirky, not boring, and she talks to plants (singing "Hurry! It's Lovely Up Here") and they grow like wildfire.
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Video Games]]
158	* Oscar from ''VideoGame/AtelierSophieTheAlchemistOfTheMysteriousBook'' and ''VideoGame/AtelierFirisTheAlchemistAndTheMysteriousJourney'' can understand the feelings of plants.
159	* In ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'', Jesse is tasked to talk to the plants around the building by Ahti the janitor. They visibly perk up despite her lacking conversational skills, though they don't talk back. Upon completing the mission, Jesse regrets that there weren't more to talk to. In the ''AWE'' DLC, she's told to talk to more plants and is genuinely pleased.
160	* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun1'': This can be done via the Mind Read ability, but it's because the trees were once human (most seem to take their {{transflormation}} quite well). There are actual talking trees, but they speak the common language.
161	* ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' suggests that experienced [[DishingOutDirt Venus adepts]] can do this to some degree.
162	* With the Life Seed, Samos from ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' is able to talk to plants. They also talk back to him and can provide him with visions of in the future.
163	* Lili Zanotto from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' has a talent for psychically communicating with and controlling plants (called herbaphony), so when she talks to plants they sometimes talk back. Later games show ItRunsInTheFamily and her great-uncle Bob Zanotto, one of the Psychic Six, was a pioneer of the technique.
164	* Lady Deidre Skye and Prophet Cha Dawn of ''VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri'' pull this off to extraterrestrial fungi called xenofungus... that eventually gain sufficient mass to form a [[GeniusLoci planet scale neural network]]. Units that don't do it have very difficult times passing through terrain covered by said fungi.
165	* In ''VideoGame/TheSims2: Seasons'', talking to plants can be done with a gold Gardening talent badge; [[PlantPerson PlantSims]] receive one automatically. In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', this ability is restricted to Sims with the Green Thumb trait, fairies (with ''Supernatural''), and [=PlantSims=] (with ''University Life''). In both cases, it both improves the plants' health and [[CompanionCube counts as socializing for the Sim]].
166	* Blazer of ''VideoGame/SoulBlazer'' can speak to plants, or rather, the souls within the plants. This also includes plants which have been cut and shaped into something like a piece of furniture.
167	* In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', the Brothers Strong have a plant named Charlemagne, which Strong Bad claims was DrivenToSuicide because [[TheEeyore Strong Sad]] tried talking to him.
168	* The Aurin from ''VideoGame/WildStar'' can communicate with the trees, being well attuned to the [[FriendToAllLivingThings life energies of the universe.]]
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Web Original]]
172	* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', during the early days of L'Manburg, Tommy used to sing "[[Music/LeonardCohen Hallelujah]]" to the plants to help them grow. This inspired Wilbur, his BigBrotherMentor, to write L'Manburg's national anthem to the song's tune in honour of his loyal compatriot and younger brother-figure.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	[[folder:Webcomics]]
176	* Mona Montrois in ''Webcomic/CestLaVie'' used to have a pot plant called Carl which assured her she was mental for thinking it could sustain a conversation.
177	* Jaeho in ''Webcomic/TheStrongestFlorist'' likes to talk to plants, and it being done in a VR game, it actually helps rank up his RPG Skill related to Botany, which gives even more abilities. Most other players who see him think he's weird and sinister thanks to his FaceOfAThug.
178	* Fan-favorite side-character Katherine in ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' talks to her plants, as well as to her pet fish.
179	[[/folder]]
180
181	[[folder:Western Animation]]
182	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' shows that Sam owns a greenhouse filled with plants that she talks to, sometimes in [[BilingualBonus different languages]], and even has names for all of them.
183	* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' had Johnny's father's flower garden grow to gigantic proportions due to him arguing with them.
184	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' talks to plants a lot. (She also talks to objects, but it's usually plants.)
185	-->'''Kaeloo:''' Hello, Mrs. Flower! How are you today?
186	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' episode "Off Duty Cop" has Bugs, who has gone insane from drinking [[GRatedDrug an addictive soft drink called Spargle]], talking to a potted plant while in fetal position.
187	* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In "[[Recap/MollyOfDenaliS2E6AFireweedFeastRiverSkate A Fireweed Feast]]," Auntie Midge reminds Molly and Trini to thank the plants when they go out picking, an Alaska Native tradition that promotes respecting the plants and not over-harvesting them.
188	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E21OverABarrel "Over a Barrel"]] has the apple farmer Applejack not only talking to a tree, but reading it bedtime stories.
189	* In the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' episode "That's One Gigantic Pumpkin, Jet Propulsion!", Jet not only talks, but ''sings'' to the pumpkin to make it grow. Mitchell, on the other hand, simply talks to it and calls it his "precious".
190	* A ShowWithinAShow in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' features a superhero with this power. Tommy, inspired by his example, imagines that he has the ability to talk to ''pants''.
191	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'', Rodney tries to help Bob win a gardening competition by singing to his plants. Unfortunately, [[DreadfulMusician his yodeling is so bad]] that it has the opposite effect, causing the whole greenhouse to wither.
192	* Played for drama in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' episode "Prickly Pair". After several of his friends end up moving out of town, Steven starts growing plants he named after them and [[CopeByPretending talking to them like they were the actual people]]. He ends up accidentally making a cactus actually able to listen to him, and vents all his pent-up issues to it; unfortunately, said cactus turns into a rampaging monster [[NotInFrontOfTheParrot who parrots everything Steven said back to him]].
193	* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderbirdsAreGo'': In "Slingshot", asteroid miner Ned Tedford has a pet potplant named 'Gladys' that he talks to: mostly as a sign that he has [[GoMadFromTheIsolation gone mad from the isolation]]. However, he still has the plant and is still talking to it in later appearances when he is back on Earth.
194	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', Earth Guardians are capable of Greenspeaking, communicating with plants. Kadma teaches this skill to Cornelia in the second season.
195	[[/folder]]
196
197	[[folder:Real Life]]
198	* [[UsefulNotes/CharlesIII King Charles III]] mentioned doing this in an interview in TheEighties. [[NeverLiveItDown British satirists have been making fun of it ever since]] -- to the point where it is literally almost impossible to find any satirical depiction of him that ''doesn't'' have a reference to it. On the plus side, he has yet to [[TheCaligula try and get any of them appointed to the House of Lords or something]], so there's that.
199	** Charles happens to be a lineal descendant of the famously mentally ill King George III, who notoriously talked to the trees in Windsor Great Park. As he was talking to them in German, it is doubtful if he got too many replies.
200	* American psychologist Cleve Backster, described as an "interrogation specialist" working for the CIA, had a special interest in refining the use of the polygraph ("lie-detector"). Backster's interest in the subject began in February 1966 when he tried to measure the rate at which water rises from a philodendron's root into its leaves. Because a polygraph or 'lie detector' can measure electrical resistance, which would alter when the plant was watered, he attached a polygraph to one of the plant's leaves. Backster stated that, to his immense surprise, "the tracing began to show a pattern typical of the response you get when you subject a human to emotional stimulation of short duration". He refined this by measuring the reaction of plants (expressed via the polygraph) to the deliberate killing of shrimps by subjecting them to boiling water. [[note]]This raises the question of what he got up to in his day job of interrogating people for the CIA.[[/note]] He allegedly discovered the plants showed strong correlations at the moment of death that could be interpreted as alarm or threat responses: it is fair to say later experiments by others failed to completely reproduce this.
201	* Some seers predicted the future from the sounds of wind going through a tree's branches and hearing the gods' voices in it.
