Grow these two mosquito-repellent plants at home this summer and easily keep mosquito troubles away

Summer in Guangdong is not only hot and humid, but also peak season for mosquitoes, and many people are troubled by this. Although technology is now advanced and there are many products for getting rid of mosquitoes, they are not very eco-friendly. Mosquito coils have too strong a smell, electric mosquito liquid makes people worry it may be bad for small children, and electric mosquito swatters are too troublesome. In fact, nature itself has plants that can repel mosquitoes. Here is an introduction for everyone:

Night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum)

This is the night-blooming jasmine I grow at home. It gets its name because it blooms at night and carries a fragrance. But that is not its only function. When it blooms at night, its fragrance can also drive mosquitoes away, so you can be free of mosquitoes at home.

This is what night-blooming jasmine looks like during the day. It is not night yet, so it is still in the bud stage. Only at night will it bloom and exert its mosquito-repellent effect.

Mint grown on the balcony at home

Mint is actually also a very good mosquito-repellent plant. Ever since I learned it has a mosquito-repellent effect, I decisively bought a pot to grow. Anyway, at night there are basically no mosquitoes to be seen at home now. The faint mint fragrance it gives off is very fresh and pleasant. It can not only exert a mosquito-repellent effect but also beautify the environment. Mint also has the effect of treating sore and swollen throat and reducing internal heat. Night-blooming jasmine and mint are both very easy plants to grow, so you might as well give them a try!
