In summer, it is not just the hot weather that makes you uncomfortable, you also have to guard against mosquito bites! Today, Chengcheng will introduce a few plants that are not only nice to look at and nice to smell, but can also drive away those pesky mosquitoes!

1. Cuban oregano (plectranthus amboinicus, also known as touch-me-and-it-smells)

Cuban oregano is a succulent plant with a fresh scent reminiscent of apples. It is called "touch-me-and-it-smells" because as soon as you touch it, the fragrance grows stronger, and it is extremely refreshing! You could say that keeping a pot of Cuban oregano at home can refresh your mind, clear heat and relieve summer heat, and also help you avoid mosquito bites!

2. Mint

Mint has a unique fresh fragrance, and smelling it feels especially refreshing. What is more, mint's mosquito-repelling effect is really remarkable! Mint is also extremely adaptable, so saying it is super easy to grow is no exaggeration at all!

The only thing you need to remember is:You must give it plenty of sun, because the more sunlight it gets, the stronger its fragrance becomes and the better its mosquito-repelling effect!

3. Scented geranium

Scented geranium has a natural, distinctive fragrance. It carries a light rose scent, a faint citrus note, and a hazy hint of coconut. In short, everyone who smells it loves it, and Chengcheng loves its scent too! What is more, this fragrance makes mosquitoes dizzy and keeps them from coming near, so people have also given scented geranium the name "mosquito-repelling grass"!
