Couple of months ago, my colleague mentioned a plant by the name man chou in another words, mosquito repelling plant. I was immediately interested with it as my house is mosquito infested. Further, my neighbours garden is a bloody mini jungle.
So today, I bought the so-called mosquito repellent plant from a nursery. It has a strong distinctive smell, which I think that will repel the mosquitoes.
I did a little research on the internet and found a website, which rebuts the myth that the plant doesnt work as a mosquito repellent. However, after hearing stories about how her uncle successfully repelled all the mosquitoes at his house, I was convinced. Further, i heard that Singapore Night Safari breed these plants in order to ward off mosquitoes.
Its better to have few plants around the around. My colleague said that we could grow them easily by cutting off the stem and plant it on another pot. Will update as soon as I see the results!
Btw…mmmmm… I wonder if i could smoke it..hmmmm…

if you go to pharmacies and ask for mosquito repellents, right..the spray/cream would smell just like that plant. don’t believe me, go ask. *hee hee*
