The correct term is "mosquito repellent". Flowers and plants that can repel mosquitoes include geranium, mint, patchouli, pitcher plant, and five-color plum.
1. Geranium
Geranium is a perennial herb or shrub, up to 1 meter high. It likes a warm, humid and sunny environment. Its body contains a large amount of citronellol and geraniol, and these substances are precisely the raw materials for repelling mosquitoes.
2. Mint
Mint comes from the mint plant of the Lamiaceae family. It likes humid conditions but is intolerant of waterlogging. Mint contains peppermint oil, menthol, and menthone, which are easily dispersed and can repel mosquitoes, including flies, to a certain extent.
3. Agogo
Agogo is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the order Lamiaceae and family Lamiaceae. It likes high temperature and sunny environment, but does not grow well in shade. Patchouli itself is a fragrant plant, and the whole plant has a fragrance, so sachets are often made to repel mosquitoes.
4. Nepenthes
Nepenthes is the general name for all species of the genus Nepenthes. It is a tropical carnivorous plant and a perennial vine. Most pitcher plants live in environments with high humidity and temperature, as well as bright scattered light. Nepenthes does not have a strong fragrance to repel mosquitoes, but its pockets are good for repelling mosquitoes.
5. Five-Colored Plum
Five-Colored Plum, also known as Lantana, is an upright or creeping shrub of the genus Lantana of the Verbenaceae family. It likes light and a warm and humid climate. It has strong adaptability and is resistant to drought and barrenness, but not tolerant to cold. The branches, leaves and flowers of the five-color plum emit a strong smell that is sensitive to mosquitoes and flies, which is completely harmless to the human body, but has a strong effect of repelling mosquitoes and flies, and is known as the "seven-change flower that repels mosquitoes".
