A little wonder, every day

Has classical music been shown to speed plant growth?

The popular claim that classical music makes plants grow faster lacks reliable general confirmation. Reviews find mixed results and problems with reproducibility, so it is not justified to say plants consistently grow better because of music or a particular genre. Sound creates mechanical vibrations that plants may detect, but that is a separate question from proving a growth benefit from music. [1, 2]
