Plants as God's creatures are certainly the same as humans have souls that can feel changes in themselves and their environment. His mood or soul will greatly affect his productivity. Plants will be able to produce optimally if the soul is comfortable when producing. An approach that can be done to determine plant souls is the approach of communicating with plants (Plant Speaking Approach). In this approach various methods are tried such as talking to plants, one of which is by saying kind words and loving to be able to increase their enthusiasm in production. The method of approach using sound waves is called the Sonic Bloom method (Carlson, 2001). In this method plant productivity is increased by optimizing the opening of plant stomata through the use of sound with a certain frequency. Some sonic bloom studies have been carried out to increase crop productivity including Triana et al, (2012) using high frequency natural sounds, Utami et al (2012) using classical, pop and hard rock music, and Gautama (2018) using Balinese gamelan music. In addition to using sound waves, the approach can also be carried out using light waves and electromagnetic waves. Artificial light waves have been used to increase chrysanthemum production by Wiguna et al (2015), Yoginugraha (2016), and Wahyuni (2017), while electromagnetic waves are used by Permana et al (2013) and Suputra et al (2015). From all studies show that plants also need comfort in production, just like humans. A comfortable work environment will improve its performance.
