Indoor mosquito repellent plants

In addition to the hot weather in summer, mosquitoes are also quite annoying. When bitten by mosquitoes, blisters will appear and they are very itchy, making you want to scratch them uncontrollably. In order to repel mosquitoes, people have invented mosquito coils, mosquito coil liquids, mosquito repellent patches, etc., but many pregnant women and parents dare not use them for fear that they may contain ingredients that children cannot use. Pregnant women and parents can choose natural and pollution-free indoor mosquito repellent plants for their babies and place them indoors to repel mosquitoes.

The weather is hot and mosquitoes are harassing us, which is very annoying. Let’s take a look at some mosquito repellent plants that can be placed indoors to get rid of the annoying mosquitoes.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ①: Tuberose

Tuberose, also known as the night-scented tree, is native to tropical America. It has heart-shaped leaves with soft hairs on the edges. Between summer and autumn, clusters of yellow-green bell-shaped flowers bloom in the leaf axils. When the moon rises above the treetops, bursts of fragrance waft out. This fragrance scares mosquitoes, making it a great mosquito repellent.

Most of them are elegant and beautiful, easy to grow and inexpensive. In addition, when they bloom in summer, they are green and white, which makes people feel cool at first glance. However, the fragrance of flowers such as tuberose is often refreshing at first, but after smelling it for a long time, it may cause discomfort because it is too strong.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ②: Lavender

Lavender is a small bluish-purple flower. It is native to the Mediterranean, likes dry weather, and its flowers are shaped like wheat ears and usually bloom in June. Lavender itself has insecticidal effects. People usually make lavender sachets and put them in cupboards. Some people also put them in the bedroom to repel mosquitoes.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ③: Geranium

Geranium Geranium has clusters of plump flowers in balls and can adapt to all parts of the country. In hot seasons, place it outdoors in a shady environment; in cold seasons, view it in a bright room. Geranium has a unique smell that attracts mosquitoes and flies away.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ④: Osmanthus fragrans

Sweet olive is an evergreen shrub with an umbel-shaped appearance, many branches, small shiny leaves, dense white flowers, and red berries after flowering, adding beauty to the humble room. If you touch its leaves, you will smell a strong sweet fragrance, which has a good effect in repelling mosquitoes.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ⑤: mosquito repellent grass

Mosquito repellent grass has a lemon scent. If you grow it in the house, mosquitoes will flee. The reason is that mosquito repellent grass contains a special "small raw material" that is genetically modified.

Technology is used to implant the mosquito repellent gene - citronellal gene structure into "vanilla", and its own unique release system is used as a carrier to release citronellal substance continuously into the air. At the same time, a plant DNA (gene) structure that contains a fresh smell and air purifying function is implanted to form a "natural evaporator", thus exuding fragrance. Especially in the hot summer, it will make people feel refreshed and relaxed. After testing, it has been found to have a good mosquito repellent effect, is harmless to humans and animals, and can repel hundreds of species of mosquitoes. Mosquito repellent grass is a perennial herb that can survive in temperatures above minus 3 degrees Celsius and can be cultivated indoors or outdoors. Generally, the higher the temperature, the stronger the fragrance and the better the mosquito repellent effect.

Indoor mosquito repellent plants ⑥: Fly-repelling plum

Its branches, leaves and flowers emit a smell that is sensitive to mosquitoes and flies, which has a strong effect in repelling mosquitoes and flies without any harm to the human body. It not only has a good effect in repelling mosquitoes and flies, but also has bright colors, including red, yellow, white, etc. The flowers are often yellow or pink when first blooming, then gradually turn into orange or orange-red, and finally red, so it is also known as the "Seven-Change Mosquito Repellent Flower". In addition, mugwort leaves and jasmine can also repel mosquitoes.
