Is your philodendron getting enough sunlight? Do your ferns need more fertilizer? Are you overwatering the roses?

These are the questions that can haunt gardeners, but maybe we should be worrying about something else:

Are our plants listening to enough cool music?

People have long suspected that there is a positive correlation between music and plant growth, with numerous studies indicating that greens watered with tunes grow at a faster, healthier rate than those devoid of a soundtrack. Many believe it has something to do with those nurturing good vibrations, a hypothesis any Beach Boys fan can certainly get behind.

So, if you think you have already gone as far as mulch can take you, maybe it’s time to add music to the mix in order to take your garden to the next level. We’ve flipped through countless records, found the right mix of rock, pop, jazz and other styles, and put together our best “Plant Playlist.” Push play and (hopefully) watch your garden grow.

Please note that this list was compiled by a music critic, not a master gardener, so your plants’ preferences may vary — but we trust the humans will enjoy the tunes.

“Good Vibrations”

We can think of no better way to kick off a plant playlist than with this Beach Boys’ masterpiece, which might just be the greatest 3½ minutes in pop music history. If plants do indeed dig vibrations, as studies suggest, they’ll absolutely adore this famed “pocket symphony” that took Brian Wilson and his sensational SoCal band to the top of the charts in 1966. Highly recommended for aloe plants, which are said to really enjoy the theremin.

“Mr. Farmer”

You can’t go wrong with including anything by the Seeds on your gardening soundtrack. “Mr. Farmer” (1966) seems like an especially appropriate choice from the often-overlooked catalog of these Los Angeles psychedelic-rock pioneers. The tune relates the story of a guy who tired of life in the city and moved out to the country “to be a farmer all year round.” It was banned by some radio stations at the time of its release for what were considered thinly veiled drug references, but that doesn’t concern us much. Most double entendres go right over the heads of the begonias we know.

“San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”

We thought twice about including this old chestnut, knowing many people would find it an obvious selection. Then we realized that this list isn’t for people — it’s for plants. And we know there are plenty of geraniums out there who have yet to experience the sublime joy of hearing Scott McKenzie’s voice on this counterculture anthem of 1967.

“Incense and Peppermints”

We’ll make it four Flower Power anthems in a row with the addition of this 1967 gem from Los Angeles-based psychedelic-rock act Strawberry Alarm Clock. Warning: This song may make your favorite ficus long to don a tie-dyed T-shirt and follow Dead and Company around the country.

“Rose Garden”

Talk about a tune that will stick in your head. We love this Joe South-penned number, which country great Lynn Anderson sent to the top of the charts with her definitive version in 1970 — and your roses will, too. Note: Tulips may become jealous when this song is played.

“Dead Flowers”

Let’s address the troublemakers in the garden that might not be cooperating with the plan, the ones who just refuse to grow no matter what we do. (Orchids, we’re looking at you.) We thought a scare tactic might be in order — or perhaps some reverse psychology — with this cautionary flora tale from the Rolling Stones’ “Sticky Fingers” album from 1971.

“Orange Blossom Special”

This bluegrass/country music staple — which borrows its title from the old New York-to-Miami passenger train of the same name — makes sense for this list in two ways. It would surely thrill its namesake orange blossom flower. And it’s also widely referred to as “the fiddle player’s national anthem” and thus, understandably a big hit at large gatherings of fiddlehead ferns. The song has been recorded by artists ranging from ELO to Johnny Cash, but many ferns favor the Charlie Daniels Band version from 1974.

“Roses from My Friends”

Ben Harper delivers one of the best songs of his career with this gorgeous folk-pop ballad, originally recorded on the 1997 studio album,”The Will to Live.” It reached even greater heights on the 2001 concert album, “Live From Mars.” And yes, we realize those notoriously jealous tulips might be reaching a boiling point right about now. Fortunately, there’s something for them right around the corner …

“Tulip”

Finally! It’s “Tulip” time, as those spring-blooming flowers are highlighted on this intriguing indie-folk-pop offering from Santa Rosa-born singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop. The song hails from Hoop’s 2009 album, “Hunting My Dress.” Note: Roses have been known to get a little thorny when this song is played.

“Gardening Is Gangsta”

Confession: We had never heard of this 2016 number until we Googled “hip-hop songs plants” and this hilarious spoof — which Weird Al could only wish he’d written — came up in the search results. Now, we just can’t get enough of Master Mark and Sifu Paul Davis’ ode to growing your own food. Judging by the comments on YouTube, we’re not alone in our admiration. “Gangster rap changed my life, and it’s going to change my peppers’ lives too,” one person commented.

“Forest Flowers”

We’re kind of cheating here, in recommending an entire album as opposed to an individual song, as well as breaking with the established chronological order, but we don’t think you’ll mind in this particular case. So we’re bringing the playlist to a close with this triumphant live set recorded by the Charles Lloyd Quartet at the 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival. It opens with a suite-like two-song offering — “Forest Flower: Sunrise” and “Forest Flower: Sunset” — then features three others that showcase the talents of saxophonist Lloyd and his amazing band, which includes pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Jack DeJohnette. There’s not a plant in the garden that will disapprove. Well, except those darn orchids.
