"These are to put your names on your pots," Randy said.  "You are also going to name your plants.  You will talk to them.  You will play music for them, either recorded or play it yourself.  Plants respond to music and they thrive when spoken to.  The prevailing theory is that speaking to them gives them additional carbon dioxide.  The jury is still out on the musical part, although some experiments have shown that certain plants prefer certain types of music.
