Each of these plants needs good lighting and adequate watering to enjoy their scent.
Most houseplants do not smell. This is because of choice. The fact is that the smell on the plant and the flowers themselves serve to attract bees and other pollinating insects. At home this is not necessary. However, it is also wrong to say that flowers grown in apartments or houses are absolutely odorless. The aroma of some flowers can be so strong that it can be heard from the next room. Portal Thursd has selected seven houseplants with an incredible scent.
citrus tree
A small citrus tree (lemon, orange, lime, tangerine) with delightfully fragrant flowers and a small crop of fruits rich in vitamin C is the reason why it is considered one of the best smelling houseplants. In order for the citrus flavor to always be present in the house, it is better to buy dwarf varieties, for example, calamondine orange. It should be remembered that this plant needs abundant lighting, so if it is not enough, you should take care of the phytolamp in advance.
Gardenia
Gardenia is one of the most fragrant plants and is considered the best choice as a living aroma diffuser. In order for it to grow and bloom profusely, it is worth choosing a bright place where direct sun enters at least four hours a day. It also needs a high level of humidity. This will help keep the dark green leaves healthy, which is essential for flowers to grow and smell good.
Jasmine
Indoor jasmine has a wonderful scent, like its decorative garden relative. Like other fragrant flowers, it needs enough light: at least six hours of sunlight each day. That is why in the cold and cloudy season you need to take care of additional lighting for it.
Orchid
Orchids do not always smell, but there are varieties that can boast of the most delicate aroma, and sometimes very unusual. For example, the Sharry Baby Oncidium orchid smells like chocolate. Other orchids such as “Shimmer” and “Hawaiian Sunset” have a mild fragrance. It is ideal to buy an orchid when it blooms so that you can smell it. In order for the orchid to fully reveal its aroma during flowering, it is necessary to provide sufficient humidity.
scented geranium
Geranium is one of the most unpretentious and common flowers on the Ukrainian window sills. Fragrant geranium has a mild fragrance when in bloom. Unlike ordinary geraniums, its leaves do not smell. This herb is recommended as aromatherapy, as it has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
french lavender
All herbs have a distinctive aroma that enhances their culinary and therapeutic value, but when it comes to fragrance, lavender is unrivaled. The scent is strong in the leaves as well as in the flowers.
French lavender can be grown as a houseplant. With good care and adequate lighting, it constantly blooms and delights in the aroma.
Stefanotis
Stefanotis, also known as wedding wreath, has small delicate flowers that emit a pleasant and strong fragrance. The plant needs strong sunlight and moderate water, which makes it incredibly easy to grow.
If you decide to buy one of the listed colors, we do not recommend putting them all in one room. Concentrated odor in a confined space can cause headaches. Therefore, for such plants it is better to choose spacious rooms or well-ventilated rooms.
