Chrysanthemums, beautiful flowers that attract insects into the house

Chrysanthemums are also a type of flower with a beautiful name symbolizing longevity, health, longevity, and good luck.
Chrysanthemums have a strong and pungent fragrance, so they are not suitable for planting indoors. Moreover, chrysanthemums are plants that can attract many insects, such as bees, flies, parasites, and even some harmful insects that transmit viruses to plants, such as aphids and leafhoppers, to prevent them from attacking plants.

Furthermore, in the past, chrysanthemums were often planted in graves, so they became a somber tree used to mourn.

Planting chrysanthemums in beneficial locations
Chrysanthemums are not suitable for planting indoors, but you can plant them in the yard or rooftop if you have a spacious garden. Chrysanthemums are extremely useful plants when planted between vegetable beds or pots. This is because chrysanthemums can regulate the harmful glands for plants. Therefore, planting chrysanthemums alternately with different types of vegetables will help the vegetables grow better. The invading glands in the soil, clinging to the plant’s roots, cause the roots to clog the arteries, swell to form rough tumors, or necrosis, reducing the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, thereby making the plant grow poorly, stunted, and wither. When there are chrysanthemums in the garden, the harmful glands will decrease.
Chrysanthemums have the characteristic of attracting butterflies, insects, so they also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases for other types of plants in the garden.
Therefore, although the chrysanthemum pot placed in front of the house or in the living room, worship room is not comfortable, when planted in vegetable fields, vegetable gardens, and rooftops with vegetables, they are extremely beneficial, making the garden more beautiful, increasing vegetable productivity, reducing pests and diseases, and maintaining ecological balance.
