When Prince Charles once said he was talking to his plants, and they were answering him, people were laughing at him.

The character of the late Hannah Maron in the series "Close Relatives" also used to talk to her pots and provoked waves of laughter - but apparently they knew what they were doing. It turns out that plants are smarter than we thought - according to studies, plants can count, make decisions, identify relatives Their and even remember

events.Although they have no brains, they learn in the same way as humans and animals, so according to scientists.Professor Umbro Castillo said: "Although the idea that plants behave cognitively will not shock the public, many of us are really stunned by the complex way they react.

There is accumulating evidence to support that plants do communicate, remember, decide and even count, and all of these abilities can usually only be observed in humans or animals. "

You are not crazy if you communicate with your plants

Professor Castillo says many studies have revealed the cognitive form of plants.

One study showed that the plant that preys on dune can count the steps its prey takes.

The scientists followed the way he preyed on the insect, and saw that he did it twice in 20 seconds.

This means that the plant remembers the first step for a short time.

The reason the plant needs to count the steps of the prey is to avoid wasting energy and not respond randomly to any non-prey movement.

This is the explanation of the carnivorous plant that counts the steps of its victims

Another experiment showed that the "shy mimosa" pollen flower can remember how it was dropped.

The plant is known for its rare ability in the plant world of seismic movement, characterized by rapid closure of the leaves in response to touch, heat, dryness, exhalation or tremor.

As soon as the complex leaf of the plant is touched, the leaf quickly closes and reopens only after about 30 minutes.

Further shaking of the closed leaf will cause its stem to fall off

but as part of a study the plant was dropped from a height of 15 cm for 56 consecutive times and at the end of the experiment he did not fold his leaves defensively after the fall - thus proving that falling from a height would not hurt him. "It's normal," says Professor Castillo of the University of Padua in Italy. "Incredibly, the reflex continues for about a month and illustrates his long-term memory.

" The question now is not whether plants are a cognitive organism, but how they use their cognition, "the professor concludes. Castielo.

This is how the shy mimosa responds to a light touch
