Re: gardening: mosquito repel plant
If you are refering to the same plant, tried that 20 years ago! NO it does not work. You will brobably need to plant a forest for it to work. The fad died as fast as it appeared - then, and it was expensive too. You are better off using a cocktail of lemon grass or citronella and spearmint EO with water or alcohol as carrier.

it only works close proximity like 4 to 5 feet... anything more it doens't help.... but not cheap too!

my family will buy the citronella scented candle when we have a bbq outdoor. when my kids were babies we used this very effective mosquito repellent cream called mustela, it is also from a plant extract but i have not seen this plant before.
some people believe pandan leaves will deter creepy crawlies, and they put them in cars, kitchen cabinets..etc
