The Effect of Music and Sound on Plant Growth: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

The influence of music on living things is extensive, as it has been shown to enhance mood, improve cognitive abilities, and promote physical health. At the same time, people are also paying attention to the potential impact of music on plants. Studies have shown that plants can sense and respond to sound and vibration, and respond to the rhythm, frequency, and sound intensity of music, such as changing growth rate, morphology, leaf size, and shape etc. These findings suggest that music can have an impact on plant growth and development. This article mainly reviews the effects of music on plant growth.
