Default Are plants social?

Did anybody ask you to answer for D. Kauhl?

Unless you can explain what the heck he is going on about, you are being no
help at all.

Plants are not at all like birds, regardless of your grandmother's poor
metaphor.

Like saying "you can never give a plant too much water", the statement is
ambiguous and can easily be interpreted in contradictory ways.

How about saving us all some time and providing a link to something
explaining what in the heck you are babbling about? Preferably in

English!!!

in all the answers I'm missing the hint for allelopathie, the research

of
reciprocal
influences of plants, practicized by friends of "Mischkultur", mainly
explained
by mycorrhizal effects in the edaphone -
founded by H. Molisch, university of Vienna, 1937, "Der Einfluß einer
Pflanze
auf die andere - Allelopathie" -
you can hear more of this from orchid friends, it's their primary

focus
best regards

Are some plants better planted in a group of their fellows than just
singly?
My grandmother says some plants are like flocks of birds and do

better
in
a
group. Does anyone know about this?
