But perhaps not a so simple answer. The question is: Do plants have spirits/souls, and if so, do they communicate in their own way? To some this would seem to be an utterly ludicris question, but I assure you I am very serious. I personally believe that they do. I have a number of house plants, and within the past week, they have shown very large growth spurts, happening after I had done a few minor things to them. I feel that it is just their way of showing appreciation and thanks for what I have do.
