Spring is here and it’s time to start growing plants. Here’s the best music for them.

Decades ago it was revealed that plants grew better when you talked to them. Nothing mystical about this. If you’re up close to the plant, you’re spewing carbon dioxide on them as you speak. From there, photosynthesis takes over. Makes sense, right?

But what about plant growth and music? This has been debated for a while. According to another British commercial masquerading as a survey (the Brits are very good at this), the best genre for healthy plants is pop running at 114 BPM and lasting for four minutes. The conclusions come from looking at 100 playlists specifically designed for plants.
