Thinking of what new plants to cultivate in and around your house? Then I have a neat tip to share with you! Plectranthus coleoides is a versatile ivy with many properties. It is known as the "mosquito plant" because it releases essential oils that are pleasant to humans but repel numerous insects. Mosquitoes, midges, and ticks steer clear of areas where they detect its intense aroma. Furthermore, the smart plant expels substances that disrupt the sense of orientation of insects, which makes it more difficult for them to find a host. This species also purifies the air. Infusions can be made from its leaves that contain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. The mosquito plant is easy to grow both indoors and outdoors. Grow it in a pot and place it on your balcony or terrace to form a natural protective barrier against insects. You can also plant it in the garden near places where you like to relax. Please note that the mosquito plant’s optimal environment is semi-shaded areas that are sheltered from the wind.
