Keep these mosquito-repellent flowers at home and easily get rid of mosquito troubles

Summer is really especially hard to endure. Not only are the temperatures high, making people feel hot and stuffy, but mosquitoes and other insects also attack you anytime and anywhere. Basically, you will have mosquito bites on your body, which is really very annoying. So everyone basically buys some insecticides or mosquito nets and so on, but what you may not know is that some plants can actually drive away mosquitoes and insects, and they are also very attractive, truly achieving two things at once.

Mosquito-repellent geranium

Mosquito-repellent geranium is suitable for growing in a warm, humid and well-ventilated environment. The soil needs to be kept slightly moist. It likes sufficient light, but in summer it needs appropriate shading. Mosquito-repellent geranium can emit a lemon fragrance, and it is precisely this fragrance that mosquitoes fear, so if you keep a pot of mosquito-repellent geranium in the bedroom, mosquitoes and insects will absolutely not dare to come in.

Mint

Mint has strong adaptability and is suitable for growing in a warm, humid and well-ventilated environment. It is averse to waterlogging and likes sufficient light, but in summer it needs appropriate shading. Although mint's mosquito-repellent effect is a bit weaker than that of mosquito-repellent geranium, its fragrance can also repel mosquitoes and insects. Moreover, if you are bitten by mosquitoes or insects, applying its juice to the skin can also achieve an itch-relieving and swelling-reducing effect.

Orange jessamine

Orange jessamine is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. The soil needs to be kept slightly moist. It likes sufficient light, but is also slightly tolerant of shade. Orange jessamine is a delightful plant. Its flower shape is relatively delicate, with white or pale yellow flowers, and its leaves give off a sweet fragrance that can drive away mosquitoes and insects, so be sure to keep a few pots at home.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium is suitable for growing in a mild environment and likes sufficient light, but in summer it needs to avoid direct strong light. It is not cold-tolerant, and its overwintering temperature in winter must not be lower than 10°C. Nasturtium's leaves are round and emerald green, and its flowers are relatively brightly colored, giving it high ornamental value. Nasturtium can emit a special odor that can effectively drive away flies. Keeping a pot at home still has a good effect.
