Plants for summer (1)

Which plants are suitable for summer and how to look after them? There’s something to learn. Bright-colored plants tend to give strong impact to your eyes and make you hot and bothered, it’s better to choose plants which are light colored and have a long flowering period. You can also choose some simple and elegant green plants to decorate your house.



Mint: Leaves of mint are opposite in the stems and usually they’re oval in shape. The color of the leaves can be green, dark green, greyish green,etc. Mint has a fresh but a little bit spicy flavor and it can remove indoor humidity and malaria. It’s refreshing and can keep the  mosquitoes and flies away.


Maintenance points: Mint likes bright light but not make it directly exposed to the sunlight. You need to give mint enough water to grow. Watering recommendation: “see dry see wet”( a frequently used term in planting which means watering until the soil is drenched and water again when the soil is about to dry. It helps to prevent rotted root and insect pests caused by too much water. ).


Another tip: You’d better not eat the mint bought from the flower market for that you are not sure whether it has been treated with pesticide or not.
