No, and neither do I. However, most people are aware that if plants are left untended, weeds grow or, without rain or watering, the plants wither and die. With pruning, the plant can grow stronger, and with the right tending, more potent for whatever potions need to be brewed or spells cast. I doubt you'd understand this, however, since I suspect the only way you understand to get what you want is by beating whatever's in front of you with your fists.
