Planting Plants!!!!!
When I was a little, I really like to grow plants. I planted one in front of the window. Just one. But, few days later, it got sick. I saw a clue. There was a hint that bugs ate the leaves. I stared at it blankly. I learned that bugs can be prevented from eating the plants. But why did not the plant prevent it???
Here is the answer. Plants talk in their language when they are in danger or there are diseases. They tell each other by releasing the chemicals in their body. Interesting!!! My plant didn't have a neighbor, that was why it got sick.
After the lesson, I brought another plant and planted it in front of the window. WWWOOOOWWW!! My old plant is healthy again!!
