This Plant Smells Great and Repels Mosquitoes — No Wonder It's Trending in Spring
Thursday, 29 May 2025 () With spring in full swing, households are looking for ways to refresh their spaces using natural, eco-friendly solutions. One plant in particular has surged in popularity for its dual benefit: it emits a pleasant citrus aroma and naturally repels mosquitoes. Easy to grow and surprisingly effective, this plant is now being embraced by gardeners and interior decorators alike. The star of the season is citronella — a tall, grass-like plant with fragrant leaves that give off a lemony scent. While citronella is commonly known for its presence in candles and essential oils, its raw, unprocessed form is proving to be even more powerful. Its leaves release compounds that mask the human scent mosquitoes use to locate prey. The growing popularity of citronella in its plant form was recently highlighted in a report by Il Meteo. According to botanists, citronella owes its success to both function and form. It thrives in pots or garden beds, requires minimal maintenance, and adapts well to warm, humid climates. When placed near windows, balconies, or entryways, it acts as a natural barrier, discouraging mosquitoes from entering the home — all without harming humans or pets.
