How to grow mosquito repellent grass

1. Soil

Mosquito repellent grass is a common name for it. Mosquito repellent grass is actually a kind of geranium. Its Chinese name is scented geranium. During the maintenance process, it is actually much more resilient than other flowers and is very easy to keep alive. We pay attention to these issues when raising it. Mosquito repellent grass likes neutral to acidic soil, so when planting mosquito repellent grass, we must choose a loose, fertile substrate with strong drainage and fertilizer retention capabilities.

2. Light temperature

Mosquito repellent grass prefers sunlight, but is not resistant to direct sunlight, so it can be placed in a bright place during the growing season. In summer, especially at noon, it must be shaded. The room temperature for the growth of mosquito repellent grass is above 10 degrees Celsius and below 25 degrees Celsius. It can safely overwinter at 0 degrees. The extreme low temperature resistance can reach minus 3 degrees. When it is above 15 degrees, the leaves emit a lemon scent, and the concentration of the scent is in a certain positive proportional relationship with the temperature.

3. Water and Fertilizer

The water and fertilizer management of mosquito repellent grass is relatively simple. Just ensure that the soil in the pot is slightly moist. It is more averse to overly wet soil. Water accumulation will cause root rot, especially in high temperature seasons.

4. Pests and diseases

Generally speaking, it has relatively few diseases and pests, and the substances contained in its body have a certain repellent effect on diseases and pests, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

5. Pruning

Mosquito repellent grass grows relatively fast, so it must be pruned promptly and properly, otherwise it will grow too tall, become too tall, and have a disordered plant shape. Paying attention to these points will allow you to grow the mosquito repellent grass well.
