Keep one of these in the living room and all the odors disappear, the whole house smells sweet and everyone praises it

Jasmine

The fragrance of jasmine is something those air fresheners simply cannot imitate. You only need to grow one small pot of jasmine, and once it blooms the whole house will smell wonderfully fragrant

1. Jasmine cuttings

That's right, jasmine can be propagated from cuttings too. Cut branches 6-12 cm long, stick them in moist flower soil, and place them in a cool, ventilated spot away from direct sunlight

If the temperature in your home is below 32°C, you can try rooting them in water. Cut a plastic bottle, use plastic foam to make a "swimming ring" for the jasmine branch, and roots will appear in about a week

2. Jasmine care

Jasmine loves sun and fears shade, so it is best grown in a spot with good light. Pay attention to shading it at noon in summer, and water only after the potting soil dries out. Jasmine tolerates pruning well, so trim it whenever there are too many thin branches. With good pruning it can bloom several more times a year

Honeysuckle

When Huahua was little there was a honeysuckle plant at home. Every year when it bloomed, the teachers at school would ask us to bring a bunch and put it in the classroom, it smelled so incredibly good...

1. Honeysuckle cuttings

Honeysuckle is very easy to propagate from cuttings. It is best to take vigorous 1-year-old branches 12-18 cm long, insert them 4-6 cm deep into the soil, water thoroughly, and place them in a cool spot to wait for rooting

Roots appear in about 6-8 days. After rooting, don't rush to repot; let it grow another 1-2 weeks, then plant it together with the soil into a flower pot

2. Honeysuckle care

It is best to use acidic humus soil mixed with garden soil, and grow it in the open air or on a balcony. Honeysuckle is fairly drought-tolerant, so generally water only after the soil dries. With frequent pruning and proper water control, it quickly grows into an old stump like a small tree

Gardenia

Nowadays there are so many perfumes to choose from, it's really too convenient. In the past there was no such thing as perfume; every season when the gardenias bloomed, women would wear a gardenia flower and treat it as perfume

1. Gardenia cuttings

Cut young, vigorous gardenia branches about 8-15 cm long, insert them in moist sandy soil, and place them in a cool spot. They root in about 1-2 weeks; after rooting, wait about another 10 days before repotting together with the soil

2. Gardenia care

Growing gardenias is both easy and not easy. Be sure to grow them in a ventilated spot and replenish nutrients in time. For watering gardenias you can use fermented rice-washing water, rusty water from soaking iron nails, ferrous sulfate water, and so on, which can reduce yellow leaves and encourage and boost flowering

Variegated winter daphne

In the Song Dynasty work "Qing Yi Lu," daphne was called a wonder of the four directions and an auspicious omen among flowers. Because of its rich fragrance, it was also called "sleeping fragrance"

1. Variegated winter daphne cuttings

Variegated winter daphne can also be propagated from cuttings. Cut branch tips 8-15 cm long, insert them in sandy soil or gravel, and place them in a ventilated spot with shading. Daphne may root rather slowly, taking about 15 days~

2. Variegated winter daphne care

Variegated winter daphne loves light, but be sure to avoid scorching sun. You can mist the leaves daily to keep them clean. As for watering, check whether the potting soil has turned pale and dry, and water only when it has

Star jasmine

Star jasmine, also known as Chinese star jasmine, can climb as a vine and blooms abundantly. Just a few flowers are very fragrant. Huahua suggests planting it in front of or behind the house; it is absolutely a great choice for building a flower wall

1. Star jasmine cuttings

Choose vigorous branches with buds at the tip, about 8-15 cm long, insert them in moist flower soil, and place them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight. They send out roots in about 1-2 weeks; after rooting, don't move them, and after another half month repot them together with the soil

2. Star jasmine care

Star jasmine can be given a trellis to climb a wall, or controlled with water and pruned to grow into an old-stump bonsai. It is not picky about its environment either and can be grown in both the south and the north. Give it a little light, water and soil and it can grow into a bursting pot. In winter it can withstand minus 10-20 degrees, so it is very tough indeed
