Lyrics
The lyrics is written as a very metaphorical poem, and apparently talking on a hallucinogenic plant (drug). Never pronounced the word "planta" (plant), but the lyrics referred it with phrases like '"amor vegetal"' ("vegetable love"), '"Sabia, savia por mi cuerpo"' ("wise, sap on my body").
Music
The song begins right at the end of the previous song, "Crema de Estrellas" ("Cream of Stars"), as they are non-stop musical unit.
The song is divided into two, with the first part without the drums (only cymbals), with a prominent participation of the bass guitar and a delicate guitar riff; and the second part with drums and a guitar rhythm that takes a leading role. At the end of the song begins immediately and without pause the next song "X-Play" (instrumental).

In the 'Sueo Stereo Tour' during 1995-1996, Soda Stereo performed the song to open their concerts.
