I sort of doubt plants have much to do with the smell. I used to live in a basement apartment with lots of exposed brickwork and a shitty heating system. Every Fall when the temperature started dropping, there would be moisture condensing on the brick, and it would give off the "rainy earth" smell.
- robotrout 17y agoWrong smell! Depending upon where on earth you live, I think it's possible that you haven't smelled this smell. I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I rarely smell it here, and I miss smelling it. It has to be a hot summer rainstorm, not a winter drizzle. The smell you're describing, I think, is just "wet earth smell", which isn't nearly as pleasant.
