My houseplants love Christmas music, but what type do they like the best?
All December my house shimmers to Christmas music.
Stepping Into Christmas by Elton John gets me fluffing up the leaves of my houseplants and checking for bugs — eek. My plants like that, I know because they never invite pests!
Rudolf and Jingle Bells keep me watering plants and dusting around. I know they like that because they don’t die.
But you know what my plants like best?
The classics from my childhood- especially in Latin. I sing along as I fuss with each plant and polish leaves. Sometimes I twirl a plant around so she gets more sun. I move slowly — like the music.
I notice the plants perk up.
They shine for me.
Maybe they like my singing!
Except they seem to like the classic instrumentals best.
