In summer, homes easily develop odors. If the trash isn't taken out for a day, it just won't do, and it even attracts small insects and such. Spraying floral water smells unnatural, so it's better to grow a pot of flowers and put it at home to freshen the air and remove odors. It's incredibly effective. Hurry and pick on...

In summer, homes easily develop odors. If the trash isn't taken out for a day, it just won't do, and it even attracts small insects and such. Spraying floral water smells unnatural, so it's better to grow a pot of flowers and put it at home to freshen the air and remove odors. It's incredibly effective. Hurry and pick one. Which one do you like?

Cuban oregano

Scent: apple scent mixed with a little star anise~

Almost everyone has grown Cuban oregano. As soon as you brush it with your hand, the fragrance becomes stronger, and it easily fills out its pot. Even a child can grow it well!

Propagation and care:

Cuban oregano can also be propagated by cuttings. Pinch off about 5 cm from its top, insert it into soil, water thoroughly, and place it in a shady spot; it will root in a week. After rooting, it can get morning and evening sun. Strong sun exposure easily causes yellow leaves. Wait until the soil is dry before watering, otherwise it will become leggy and ugly.

Lemon verbena

Scent: sweet lemon scent, comfortable and not harsh

Lemon verbena is a raw material for many perfumes, and it is also used to make essential oils and soaps. Its scent is fairly sweet and fresh, and it is recognized as an herb that smells even better than mint. It has only become very popular in China in recent years.

Propagation and care:

Lemon verbena is very cheap, about the same price as mint, and can also be propagated directly by cuttings. Cut a 5-8 cm section of stem tip, insert it into airy granular soil, and keep it moist and it will survive. In summer, place it in a bright spot; the more sun it gets, the stronger its fragrance!

Primrose

Scent: fresh sweet fragrance, a bit fresh and delicate

Primrose is a perennial herbaceous flower, and its flowering period is also very long. When it blooms, it flowers layer after layer. It is truly a flowering machine, not inferior to geraniums at all!

Propagation and care:

It is generally grown from seed, and can be sown in all four seasons. Sprouts appear in 2 weeks. For everyday watering, it is also better to keep it dry rather than wet; just don't let water accumulate in the pot. In summer it needs shade, and overwintering is no pressure, so flower lovers in the north can consider it~

Jasmine

Scent: sweet floral fragrance

Flower lovers have grown quite a few jasmines this year, and some have already bloomed several times. I really hope it can bloom a few more times. When one pot blooms, the whole room is fragrant~

Propagation and care:

Jasmine can still be propagated by cuttings now. In high-temperature areas, water propagation can be used for rooting. Insert the pruned jasmine branches into water and change the water every 2-3 days. If it is tap water, it must be left to sit and aired out to remove chlorine. Normally, jasmine should be pruned carefully. After each flowering, cut off 6-10 cm; the more you prune, the more flowers it produces!

Dracaena fragrans

Scent: rich floral fragrance that lingers

Dracaena fragrans itself has an air-purifying effect, and if grown well, it will also bloom every year. Its floral fragrance is very strong; it can be smelled even outside the house.

Propagation and care:

Dracaena fragrans can also be propagated by cuttings. Cut a section of its main stem, soak it for 20 minutes in a carbendazim solution to disinfect, seal the upper cut with wax or carbendazim powder, let it dry, then insert it into sandy soil, water thoroughly, and place it in a shady spot; it will root in about 1 month. Dracaena fragrans should be grown tough. The more you control water, the easier it is to bloom~

Four o'clock flower

Scent: sweet floral fragrance

Four o'clock flower, commonly known as the mine flower, generally blooms at night, and its fragrance is more noticeable at night. If you have a yard or terrace at home, you must grow a few!

Propagation and care:

After each four o'clock flower blooms, it can produce black seeds. The seeds can be collected and sown the next spring, or they can simply be allowed to fall into the soil and grow on their own the next year. In summer, it is best to shade it a little; growing it in scattered light is best. You can also occasionally spray water to keep it moist. As for watering, there is no need to be too frequent.
