Mosquito Plant
My favourite plant in the garden that I love best is the mosquito plant because of its lemony sweet fragrance and it repels insects. I like our school herb garden and would like to continue taking care of it.

My mother bought one of these pleasantly scented plant but within a week it withered and died on us inspite of regular watering. Can anyone give some guidelines as to care and propogation of this delightful plant? Would appreciate any help.
Best regards

Hi, Andy.
Perhaps you had over-watered the plant - a common problem for us here in the tropics. I believe this is an outdoor plant and hence require a fair bit of direct sunlight. Don’t give up. Try again. Best wishes.
