Some mosquito repellent plants bought by many friends feel ineffective, and some can even see mosquitoes breeding on plants, but the following plants are an exception, specifically for mosquitoes. Its name is "mosquito repellent", and its full name is geranium geranium. Its leaves have special fragrance and can achieve good mosquito repellent effect.

First, the role of mosquito repellent

Mosquito repellent is geranium, which is a hybrid of geranium. Its leaves have a special fragrance, which can achieve mosquito repellent effect. It basically does not bloom, and the flowers are very small and have no ornamental value.

Moreover, the mosquito repellent grass also has strong air purification ability, strong adaptability to the environment and simple maintenance, and is suitable for raising on windowsills or balconies.

Mosquito repellent is also shade-tolerant, so it doesn't need much light to maintain. If the maintenance environment keeps proper scattered light, keeps ventilation and keeps the basin soil slightly wet during the growing period, it can grow well.

In summer, shade properly to avoid sun exposure. When the air is dry, it should be properly sprayed around and ventilated as much as possible. When the temperature exceeds 33 degrees in summer, it should be properly sprayed on the ground to cool down and moved to a cool place for maintenance.

Second, protect the environment:

1, soil selection

The maintenance of mosquito-repellent weeds requires loose soil, fertile soil and good drainage, which can be mixed with peat soil+perlite+vermiculite in a ratio of 5: 2: 3, or mixed with humus soil and river sand, and granular organic fertilizer can be appropriately added at the bottom of the basin when it is put into the basin.

2. Maintenance position

Mosquito repellent grass is most suitable for raising on the east-facing windowsill or balcony. It likes scattered light and ventilated places, keeps the soil moist during the growing period, and sprays water on the branches and leaves when it is dry.

The curing temperature in winter should be kept above 65438 00 degrees to avoid freezing.

Mosquito repellent grass has good shade tolerance. If it is kept in a cool place in summer and given proper light in the morning, it can grow better. Pay attention to proper ventilation to avoid the environment being too closed.

3. Water and fertilizer

During the growing period, the basin soil is dry, watered thoroughly, and can keep the soil moist when it is well ventilated. Fertilize 1~2 times a month. After the summer temperature exceeds 33 degrees, fertilization should be stopped, and it is not suitable to fertilize when the winter temperature is too cold.
