Today Huar will introduce 3 kinds of potted plants suitable for keeping at home, so that in this irritable summer you feel refreshed and clear-headed by day and sleep soundly at night, adding a breath of fresh air to this summer.

1. Lavender

Lavender, also known as the perfume plant, has elegant and graceful leaf shapes and flower colors, and its long, beautiful blue-purple flower spikes make it very suitable for the bedroom. It also has insecticidal properties; the fragrance it gives off can remove odors, purify the air, and also has the effects of soothing the mood and helping with sleep.

Lavender has a well-developed root system and likes a dry environment, making it easy to care for. You can place it on the bedroom dressing table or windowsill and so on, and just water it thoroughly when the potting soil shows signs of drying and cracking. During the growing period it needs enough light; after flowering you can shade it appropriately, and placing it in a cool, bright spot can extend the flowering period.

2. Jasmine

Jasmine has emerald-green leaves and pure white flowers with a rich fragrance. Placed in the bedroom, it fills the room with floral scent and has the reputation of "one plant can perfume a whole room." The fragrance it gives off can also help people release fatigue, leave them refreshed and clear-headed, and reduce the irritability of summer. The flowers can also be used to make tea.

Jasmine's flowering period is from May to July. It likes a warm, humid, and well-ventilated environment. After it blooms, you only need to water it a little; you can place a small basin of water beside it to increase humidity and lower the temperature, which can extend its flowering period.

3. Mint

The stems and leaves of mint carry a faint, fresh fragrance. Its scent can drive away mosquitoes and insects, and when inhaled by the human body it can relax the nerves and help with sleep. It can also be used in cooking and to make tea, and has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying.

Mint is a very easy plant to care for. It only needs enough nutrients, light, and water to grow very well. In summer you can water it once or twice a day and mist the leaves more often, which can make its leaves even more emerald green and its growth more vigorous.
