It's April now, and many places have the feeling of summer. As the temperature rises, mosquitoes start to appear. The daytime temperature here is about 27 degrees, and mosquitoes can be clearly felt. For those who like to grow flowers and plants, it is inevitable to deal with the issue of mosquito prevention. If you live on a lower floor and have many mosquitoes in summer, it is recommended to keep a few pots of mosquito-repelling plants, which can not only repel mosquitoes but also admire flowers. The following five kinds of flowers make mosquitoes "run away," with excellent mosquito-repelling effects. Plant them in spring and enjoy a mosquito-free summer.
Jasmine
The fragrance of jasmine flowers is pleasant to us, but it is a foul smell to mosquitoes. Therefore, keeping several pots of jasmine at home can not only enjoy the fragrance of the flowers but also repel mosquitoes. Jasmine likes a well-lit environment, the more light, the better for growing jasmine. If there is insufficient light at home, growing jasmine should be cautious. Because without enough light, it is not easy to bloom, and if it doesn't bloom, it will not repel mosquitoes and may even attract them.
Marigold
Those who have planted marigolds should know that they have a special smell, even when not blooming, the branches and leaves have a bit of odor. Some people think the smell of marigolds is bad, while others think it's fragrant. No matter what you think of the smell of marigolds, mosquitoes don't like it. Therefore, marigolds are great mosquito-repelling flowers. Keeping a few pots at the balcony or windowsill will make mosquitoes run away and effectively repel them.
Mint
Mint has a good mosquito-repelling effect, which should be known to all. Besides repelling mosquitoes, mint is also edible. So for those who like to grow flowers and vegetables, you might as well keep a few pots of mint at home. Use it to repel mosquitoes when there are mosquitoes and eat it as a vegetable when there are no mosquitoes, achieving two goals at once. Mint can survive by propagating with old branches, and now is a good time for propagation. When the temperature is higher than 15 degrees, it can take root in about 7 days and enter rapid growth. Mint grows fast, and if you want it to grow well, it's best to apply a little more compound fertilizer. Otherwise, it may stop growing after a while.

Lavender
Lavender can repel mosquitoes whether it is blooming or not, as mosquitoes dislike its smell (the leaves can also emit a faint fragrance when not blooming). Keeping a pot of lavender at home and placing it on the windowsill is very good. Moreover, the fragrance of lavender also helps with sleep, so it's great to keep a pot of lavender in the bedroom. If you have a yard, planting a cluster of lavender will make its fragrance subtly spread, causing mosquitoes to run away. Although potted lavender is also possible, it may look unattractive if not properly cared for.
Pelargonium
The mosquito-repelling grass sold on the market and pelargonium are relatives, belonging to the same family. Therefore, pelargonium also has a good mosquito-repelling effect and can bloom, making it better than growing mosquito-repelling grass. Common pelargonium has a good blooming ability and can bloom from now until the arrival of high summer temperatures. When the weather cools down in autumn, it can bloom again. In some places where summers are not very hot, pelargonium can bloom continuously. Especially hanging pelargoniums, when grown on a balcony or windowsill, can bloom like a waterfall, blocking mosquitoes from entering and allowing the family to spend a comfortable summer.
If you want to repel mosquitoes and admire flowers, pelargonium is highly recommended for its good effect, large number of blooms, and beautiful flowers! Therefore, for those who are afraid of mosquito bites, keeping several pots of pelargonium is very necessary. Start now, and you can enjoy a mosquito-free summer.
