Plants plants plants

What are you doing with your plants? I’ve been looking at this book called ” The Secret Life of Plants” It’s about how plants react to people. It goes into ESP and EKGs. Pretty exciting. At one point a woman ripped two leaves off of a plant, placed one on her nightstand and the other on the counter in a different room. For a whole month she would “will” the leaf on her nightstand to live and ignored the other leaf. The leaf on her nightstand lived and the other died. I wonder if it is that easy to just make things live.
