Afraid of mosquito bites? Grow a pitcher plant and sleep soundly until dawn

When summer comes, besides going out under the scorching sun, you also have to endure the discomfort of sweating heavily, and more importantly, there are su! per! many! bugs!! Is there anyone like Huahua who is a mosquito magnet? Every summer I'm really scared of being bitten by mosquitoes, and when I hear the sound of mosquitoes I instinctively flinch. More importantly, besides mosquitoes in summer there are also lots of unknown bugs flying around everywhere, it's so! an! noying!! I dream of making these useless insects disappear from this world!

But the insect repellents or floral waters and other liquid-type products sold on the market always feel like they might affect the health of family and oneself, so Huahua went looking up a lot of information and found some plants that can re! pel! bugs! They're simply a savior for bug magnets!

Pitcher plant

Just seeing the name makes you feel it's so

badass, right! Although the name is very badass, it actually looks very cute! The flower head of the pitcher plant contains sticky mucus, and when small bugs land on the flower it can stick them, and can also slowly convert the bugs' corpses into the nutrients it needs. If you're planning to keep one at home, it can both catch bugs and absorb impurities from the air! What are you waiting for! Grow one!!

Venus flytrap

As its name suggests, it's used to catch flies and bugs. Just look at its shape and you can tell it's a master bug catcher. Its leaf halves, which look remarkably like "shells", can quickly close up and clamp small bugs when insects come near, and digest and absorb the bugs. There are also teeth on the edges to prevent insects from escaping, it's really cute and interesting!

Mosquito-repelling scented grass

Everyone can probably tell what this is just from the name, right? Mosquito-repelling scented grass is a herbaceous plant that can give off a mosquito-repelling fragrance. It achieves the mosquito-repelling effect by releasing aroma factors from within its body. Huahua learned that mosquito-repelling scented grass is very easy to keep alive, does not shed leaves all year round, and can survive as long as the temperature is at 0°C. Its care and management are super convenient, but mosquito-repelling scented grass likes shade, so just don't expose it to blazing sun!

Orange jessamine

Orange jessamine likes a warm and humid climate, so gardening friends in the south might as well give orange jessamine a try. Orange jessamine is also called "thousand-mile fragrance", probably because its scent can travel "a thousand miles". Orange jessamine's fragrance is relatively strong, but it is precisely because of its fragrance that it can achieve a mosquito-repelling effect!

Tropical pitcher plant

The tropical pitcher plant is a typical carnivorous plant. It looks rather strange, and has a unique "bug-catching pitcher", and the "pitcher" even has a lid that can open and close, it's really very practical! However, the tropical pitcher plant is a tropical plant and likes humid and warm places. If there are gardening friends who like tropical pitcher plants, be sure to pay attention to temperature and humidity when keeping them!

I hope the plants and flowers Huahua recommended today can be helpful to everyone, helping everyone get through a peaceful and comfortable summer~
