Serious question, is talking to your plants really a thing?

I always thought it was a silly myth until my basil plant started to wilt last month. My friend told me to try it for a week, so I did. I just talked to it while watering, simple stuff. After 5 days, it perked up and grew 2 inches. I'm not saying it's magic, but something clearly worked. Has anyone else had a plant respond to something like this?

My tomato plants love hearing about my day.

That's a cool story, but it was probably the regular watering schedule that helped, not the talking. Plants just need consistent care.

I thought that too until my basil perked up.

Tell my ferns everything, they're my best listeners.
