* Jaeho in ''Webcomic/TheStrongestFlorist'' likes to talk to plants, and it being done in a VR game, it actually helps rank up his RPG Skill related to Botany, which gives even more abilities. Most other players who see him think he's weird and sinister thanks to his FaceOfAThug.

* ''Series/TheAvengers1960s''. In "Man-Eater of Surrey Green", the normally unperturbed John Steed looks a bit freaked out on seeing the VillainOfTheWeek talking to his Venus Fly Traps as he feeds them. Turns out he's being mind-controlled by an evil alien plant, so we don't know if this was normal behavior for him.

* ''Series/{{Blackadder}}''. Blackadder reads an article in The Times entitled, "King Talks to Tree, Phew What a Loony", then remarks that the paper has really gone downhill recently. This was a dig at Prince Charles, who famously talked to his plants, although George III really did talk to a tree during one episode of madness, imagining it to be the King of Prussia. In the next episode, the mad king himself turns up with a rosebush he wants the Prince Regent to marry.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/TheGoodLife'' has an episode which takes this concept to the extreme. After finding someone who talks to his plants, Tom Good decides to experiment by buying 3 plants and exposing one plant to only compliments (Courtesy of his wife, Barbara), one to only criticism (That's Tom's part) and one to both in order to have a base line to compare both of the other plants to. It doesn't take long for Barbara to name her plant Douglas and give it more care and affection than she shows to Tom.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Nancy}}'' uses this for a one-off gag. In the [[https://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2013/09/13 2013-09-13 strip]], Nancy reads a book that advises people to both talk and listen to their plants. Nancy does so...and hears them snore. Turns out, her dog was sleeping on the other side of the bed.

* A ''Literature/BabySittersClub'' book had a precocious kid playing different types of music to some plants to see if it affected them. The one that listened to Music/DuranDuran grew the best.
