8 fragrant potted plants recommended for home gardening, one plant fills the room with fragrance and refreshes the mind

Do you like growing flowers at home? Do you know what flowers are best to grow at home? Today the little gardener recommends 8 fragrant flowering plants for you; growing these in pots at home can make your life better!

1. Cuban oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus)

Cuban oregano is a relatively common horticultural flower variety. The plant itself carries a fresh scent; a light touch of the finger releases a fascinating delicate fragrance. Grow one in a pot at home, and when you feel bored, tease it a few times and your mood will immediately become lovely.

Potted Cuban oregano is very easy to care for and can be grown in full sun, but it is rather afraid of cold. In winter the temperature must not drop below zero degrees. Do not apply water or fertilizer on cloudy and rainy days; too much moisture easily causes root rot.

2. Thyme

Thyme is a spice plant native to southern Europe. The whole plant carries a fragrant aroma. Grown in a pot, it is not only ornamental but can also be used as a spice for cooking.

Thyme is not only cold-resistant but also drought-tolerant and tolerant of poor soil. It grows fast, blooms abundantly, has a long flowering period, and does not attract pests. It is a rare green plant and very suitable for growing in pots at home.

3. Scented geranium

This is not an ordinary geranium; it is a geranium variety widely popular for its plant having volatile fragrance, and it is very suitable for home potting.

Scented geranium likes a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight. It has poor cold resistance and is afraid of waterlogging and high temperatures. It can be used to extract essential oil, and it has a variety of scents that are very pleasant to smell.

4. Orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata)

Orange jasmine is also called qili xiang, qianli xiang, and wanli xiang. It is an evergreen shrub plant that can possibly grow into a small tree. When it blooms, move it to the windowsill for care; when the wind blows in, the whole room fills with fragrance, and smelling it makes one feel refreshed.

For potted orange jasmine, pay attention in winter. The lowest temperature must not be below 5°C, otherwise it easily drops leaves and affects growth the next year. Below 0°C it may be frozen to death. In winter it is best to keep it in an environment of 5-10°C, which is more favorable for flowering the next year.

5. Fragrant wood (Pistacia weinmannifolia)

The bark of fragrant wood carries a light fragrance, and when the leaves are rubbed they produce a fresh scent similar to Sichuan pepper and citrus. Its medicinal value is very high. However, many people on the market sell pepperwood as fragrant wood, so when you want to buy it for potting, pay attention to identify it and be careful not to be cheated.

6. Rosemary

Rosemary grows slowly and its regenerative ability is not strong. During the growing period, the stems, leaves, and flowers of this plant all give off a pleasant fragrance. It is a precious natural spice plant, and its scent has the effect of clearing the mind and refreshing the spirit, making it very suitable for home gardening in pots.

7. Gardenia

Gardenia is one of the most common potted flowers. Its flowers are fragrant and elegant, deeply loved by the broad community of flower lovers, and it is a flowering plant that is very easy to grow.

8. Jasmine

I believe everyone is very familiar with jasmine. It is a globally famous raw material for scented tea and an important raw material for essence. Growing one in a pot at home really fills the room with fragrance. However, most jasmine varieties are rather afraid of cold and drought, and are prone to freezing damage and frost damage. Waterlogging or soil alkalization will also cause problems. Without a bit of flower-growing experience, one may grow it to death.

Alright, the above are the 8 fragrant flowering plants introduced by the little gardener. Friends who like them might as well grow a pot.
