4 mosquito-repellent potted plants that are just what you need right now

Many parts of the country have already entered autumn, but the southern coastal cities are still in the heat of summer. Although it has cooled down a bit, the mosquitoes have come out too. Mosquito bites are very itchy and can also spread some diseases. Besides lighting mosquito coils and using mosquito coil liquid, growing some mosquito-repellent plants is the best option of all, as they not only repel mosquitoes but also do no harm to people's health.

1. Mosquito-repellent geranium

Mosquito-repellent geranium, also called scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), can achieve a very good mosquito-repellent effect because the plant has a volatile fragrance.

2. Mugwort

Mugwort, also called fragrant mugwort or mugwort (Artemisia argyi), can achieve a very good mosquito-repellent effect because of its special fragrance, and it can also sterilize and disinfect, protecting people's health from disease.

3. White calamus

White calamus is a traditional Chinese immortal herb for warding off evil and preventing epidemics. It is full of fragrance and can repel mosquitoes, but because the plant is toxic, you need to prevent accidental ingestion when growing it indoors.

4. White magnolia

White magnolia (Michelia alba) is very fragrant. Back in my hometown, many old ladies would string white magnolia flowers on thread and take them to the market to sell. Girls would buy lots of them and take them to their dorm rooms. Not only can they fill the room with fragrance, but they can also prevent mosquito bites, killing two birds with one stone.

Fellow gardening enthusiasts should now have some understanding of these 4 mosquito-repellent plants. Those in the south can try growing a few pots now, and pay attention to watering and fertilizing. Once they are growing well, you will never have to worry about mosquito bites again.
