    Might be a good use-case to have your home irrigation system be triggered by plant clicks instead of a schedule.

      It could be. Although we don’t know how much those sounds indicate distress, and perhaps watering should happen much sooner.

      Imagine if aliens abduct you and give you food only when your stomach makes the kind of noise it makes after three days without eating anything, because “that’s all they can detect.”

          We’ve already established that. But that method will shorten the life of the plant (and human.)

            I dunno, calorie restrictions has tended to lengthen lifespan in other organisms we’ve tried it on.

              Sure, but not to the point in which it’s a constant stress.
