Some plants can communicate with each other.

Tag: plants Published: May 9, 2025

Plants have the ability to release chemicals into the air or soil in response to stress, such as being attacked by insects. These chemical signals can be picked up by neighboring plants, prompting them to produce defense mechanisms even if they haven't been directly attacked yet. This phenomenon, known as plant communication, helps plants warn each other of potential dangers and increase their chances of survival. Studies have shown that plants can "eavesdrop" on each other's chemical signals, suggesting a sophisticated level of interaction and cooperation among plant species.
