Frequently asked questions

Which insect-repellent plant works best against mosquitoes?

Lemon Grass is our best seller for mosquito control — it contains natural citronella oil that mosquitoes hate. Black Tulsi is another great pick that doubles as an air-purifying and lucky plant for Indian homes. Both are easy to grow and available at the lowest price in our collection.

Are these plants safe for children and pets?

Most plants in this collection — like Lemon Grass, Tulsi, and Marigold — are safe around children and pets when kept as potted plants. However, Herb-of-Grace (Ruta Graveolens) should be kept out of reach of young children as it can cause skin sensitivity. Always wash your hands after handling any plant.

Can I grow insect-repellent plants indoors?

Yes! Many plants in this collection are well-suited for indoor spaces with good sunlight. Rosemary and Tulsi do very well near a sunny window or on a bright balcony. They are low maintenance and need only moderate watering to stay healthy and effective.

Do these plants really keep insects away?

Yes — these plants release natural oils and scents that insects find unpleasant. Lemon Grass contains citronella, Rosemary repels flies and moths, and Marigold deters aphids and whiteflies. While they may not replace all pest control in heavily infested areas, they are a proven, chemical-free way to reduce insect presence around your home.

Can I grow these plants in pots or grow bags?

Absolutely! All 18 plants in this collection grow well in pots and grow bags — perfect for balconies and small spaces. We even offer options like Lemon Grass in a 10-inch grow bag, ready to place on your terrace or balcony. Grow bags are low cost, easy to use, and great for beginners.
