These mosquito-repellent flowers are easy to grow and quickly fill their pots, one pot is worth 10 bottles of floral water

Mosquito plant

1. The mosquito plant (Pelargonium citrosum) generally smells of lemon, though some smell of apple. It can release a scent that drives away mosquitoes. With temperatures rising higher and higher, it is time to get a pot.

2. The mosquito plant likes sun and does not tolerate waterlogging. During normal care, make sure it gets plenty of sunlight, and shade it when the temperature is too high. Do not water excessively, otherwise it will drown. The mosquito plant can live for more than 8 years, so it is still quite easy to grow.

3. A 25cm-tall mosquito plant can drive away mosquitoes within a 10 sq m area. We can place it at windows and doorways where mosquitoes easily get in, to achieve the mosquito-repelling effect.

Thyme

1. Thyme is a herb, and its fragrance can have a bug-repelling effect. Drying a large amount of thyme and then burning it works even better.

2. Thyme also has edible and medicinal uses. You can usually add some dried thyme when grilling meat too, and the flavor is very good.

3. Thyme likewise likes sun. Placed on the balcony, it will easily fill its pot. When watering, do not let water accumulate in the pot; it is better to keep it a bit dry than too wet.

Mint

1. Mint's benefits are well known. People can stand this fresh scent, but mosquitoes cannot.

2. Mint is the easiest to grow. Before you know it, it has filled the pot, and it needs hardly any care. Leave it on the balcony for a few days and it will grow all over.

3. You can also steep mint in water and drink it, to soothe the throat and benefit the lungs.

Geranium

1. The stems of geraniums have a distinctive scent that makes mosquitoes flee as soon as they smell it. This flower can bloom in all four seasons, comes in many colors, and is a delight to the eye.

2. Geraniums like water. In summer, they generally need watering once a day. The soil used to grow them must be loose and breathable, otherwise water accumulation can easily rot the roots.

3. Generally, we can place geraniums on the balcony, as long as there is ventilation.

Mugwort

1. Mugwort is Chinese mugwort (Artemisia argyi). Mugwort can not only be used medicinally, but also as an edible ingredient, and its distinctive scent can also help drive away mosquitoes.

2. Mugwort has strong adaptability and is very easy to grow at home. The soil can be prepared by mixing leaf mold and river sand at 1:1, which ensures the nutrients it needs for growth.

3. These herbs placed on the balcony basically need no care, making them arguably the most worry-free choice.

Rosemary

1. Rosemary is also a herb, and it can likewise be used as an edible seasoning. Its fragrance can repel insects.

2. Rosemary has an invigorating and refreshing effect, and can also be used as essential oil, for baths, soap, and deodorants, with quite a wide range of uses.

3. Rosemary germinates at 20~24°C, so planting it right now is just right, and it will fill its pot by summer.

Lavender

1. Besides helping with sleep, lavender's scent also has a deterrent effect on mosquitoes.

2. What we generally grow at home is Spanish lavender, with a blooming period from June to August. Lavender has very strong adaptability and has no requirements for soil acidity or alkalinity, as long as it is loose and breathable.

3. Lavender tolerates both high and low temperatures, and does not need much water. Just water it when you see the potting soil has dried out. So, isn't it easy to grow?
