4 flowers you must grow in summer; keep one pot at home and the mosquitoes will all run away

What is there the most of when summer arrives? Mosquitoes, of course. When growing flowers, besides considering beauty, we also need to think about mosquito-repelling effects. Today, Bai Xiao Mei'er wants to share with everyone 4 kinds of plants that have mosquito-repelling effects when kept at home, for reference.

Mosquito-repelling geranium

One of the most common varieties on the market, you can buy a big pot for just 10 yuan. It can be said to be very cheap and practical. Placing a pot on the windowsill of a room can do a very good job of preventing mosquito bites. When caring for it, you only need to pay attention to this: mosquito-repelling geranium likes light and is not tolerant of waterlogging, so absolutely avoid watering too frequently.

Thyme

Besides being usable in cooking, thyme's mosquito-repelling effect is also great. It can be said that keeping one plant at home gives you something edible that can also drive away annoying mosquitoes

Notes on caring for thyme: it likes light, so usually place it on a balcony in a spot with bright, indirect light, and the potting soil must not become waterlogged.

Mint

Most flower lovers buy mint to steep in water and drink in summer. Mint also has a good mosquito-repelling effect, and it is very easy to keep alive. It belongs to the type that grows as fast as you pinch it back. Mint likes a relatively humid environment, with sufficient light and slightly moist potting soil, and it can grow into a full pot in just a few days.

Geranium

If you think the above three are too plain, you might as well keep a pot of geranium with brilliant blooms. Mosquitoes greatly dislike the smell of geranium. When caring for geranium in summer, pay a little attention to shading, keep the potting soil moist but not waterlogged, and ensure good ventilation. It can easily bloom all year round.

The above four are all plants with good mosquito-repelling effects that are also easy to care for. Flower lovers who like them might as well buy 2 pots to keep at home when buying flowers in summer. They can both beautify the environment and drive away mosquitoes.
