Plants. Can't. Count. - ...except they kinda can...

The video explores the concept of counting in Venus flytraps, highlighting that while these plants can count trigger hair touches to decide when to secrete digestive enzymes, they do not count in the human sense as they lack brains. The counting mechanism involves action potentials, which are electrical signals similar to those in humans but simpler. The video also discusses other plants' abilities to perform mathematical functions like division for food partitioning and temperature regulation, showcasing the remarkable yet non-sentient nature of plant intelligence.
