What are the mosquito-repelling plants?
Let me tell you about the mosquito-repelling plants and the related experience of recommended flower planting for mosquito prevention. Next, I will introduce them to you.
The temperature is rising so fast that I even found mosquitoes in my house. After a lot of panic, I finally eliminated them. Being bitten by one would really be uncomfortable. Counting on my fingers, it seems that summer is really approaching. Disliked mosquitoes will also increase. I have been moving potted plants outside these days, fearing that a little worm will fly around the house, but mosquitoes really feel like they can get everywhere, which is very annoying. Some plants are very disliked by mosquitoes. Keeping a few pots on the windowsill can prevent mosquitoes from entering the door. Many people think it's not very useful, but you will know when you raise them. I personally feel that it does work. Let's take a look with Juanzi at the flowers and plants that mosquitoes dislike and start growing them now.
1. Rosemary
Rosemary is a spice that many people like to grow for easy access when cooking. Its aroma is not to everyone's liking, but for some reason, I particularly enjoy its unique fresh scent. I've been keeping it at home for years, but I've never used it as a cooking ingredient, as it seems to be more commonly used in Western cuisine. What I'm saying is that the aroma of rosemary is also disliked by mosquitoes, and they basically avoid it.
Placing rosemary where mosquitoes are likely to enter, such as near windows and doors, can prevent them from entering the house. It may not completely block them, but the effect is still significant. Moreover, the scent of rosemary, while disliked by mosquitoes, is a great relaxant for humans, helping to relieve fatigue and soothe the mind. If you don't like its smell, I suggest you try inhaling it for a while, and you might grow to like it.

2. Touch-me-not
Touch-me-not is a magical plant that emits a faint apple scent. However, when you touch its leaves, it will release a stronger apple scent. Its name and characteristics are definitely related. This fragrance that we enjoy is very disliked by mosquitoes. They will immediately become "disoriented" upon smelling it, so touch-me-not also has a good mosquito-repelling effect.
Caring for touch-me-not on the windowsill can not only repel mosquitoes but also decorate your window. What's the harm in that? Moreover, if your touch-me-not is large enough, you can pick some leaves, crush them, dilute with water, and spray them indoors, which can also repel mosquitoes, just like pure ecological insect repellent. Apart from being ornamental, freshening the air, and repelling mosquitoes, touch-me-not is also edible. Whether used in a soup or for cold dishes, it's very nice, and the leaves can also be dried for tea. If you like it, it's great to raise a few pots at home.
3. Lavender
I have always had the habit of growing lavender on the balcony of my bedroom, and I also like to make dried lavender flowers into sleep pillows. The scent of lavender is very captivating, and this scent is what mosquitoes fear the most. Placed on the windowsill, lavender constantly emits its attractive flower scent, and mosquitoes will naturally stay away.
