4 types of plants that should be planted to attract snakes
White snake flower
Just by hearing the name, everyone knows that this flower has a pure white color, and also has a small, cute shape, easy to love at first sight. Therefore, some people have planted this type of flower in front of the yard to attract attention, but they do not know why it attracts snakes to find their way home.
Because the white flower snake has a scent that is very "pleasing" to snakes, and this flower blooms all year round, most often in May and June. At this time, the scent spreads far and if a snake smells it faintly, it will quickly come. Therefore, if you can grow this flower, but if it has already grown, you must cut it off, don't let anyone in the house have any trouble, you will regret it.
White flower snake grass
Although adding the two words "grass" behind makes many people mistakenly think that it is another name for white flower snake, it is not true. These two types of flowers are completely different and the white snake tongue is also called the white snake tongue. And of course this name has its origin because the white snake tongue grows well in humid places, and when the flowers bloom, they are completely white. Although the small flowers have a sharp spear-shaped calyx and a very beautiful spherical calyx, people absolutely should not wear them, because the ancients said that where there is this flower, there is definitely a snake there. Purple Sandworm
At first glance, purple sandworm is not beautiful, but it is valuable because it is considered a medicinal herb that can cure common symptoms such as: cold stomach, bloating, diarrhea, toothache... so many people also like it. But unfortunately, these people do not know that purple sandworm has a sweet taste and is the food of mice, squirrels, hedgehogs... Meanwhile, snakes really like to eat these animals, so they will go to places where purple sandworm is to hunt for prey.
Some fragrant flowers
Common fragrant plants grown indoors such as night-blooming cereus, jasmine, and lemongrass can also attract snakes. In addition, plants that can grow in large trellises, creating cool spaces such as bougainvillea and lilies also attract green snakes.
3 types of plants that snakes hate, so plant them to repel snakes
Lemongrass: Lemongrass is a type of perennial grass that grows in bushes 0.8 to 1m high. The leaves are long and narrow, similar to rice leaves, with rough edges on both sides. When peeled, they have a strong aroma. Lemongrass is grown throughout the country and is an indispensable spice in meals. In mosquito repellent products, manufacturers often add lemongrass essential oil or lemongrass scent. Not only does it repel mosquitoes, lemongrass also repels snakes. The scent of lemongrass is very fragrant, loved by humans and used in many products, but snakes do not "like" this scent. Planting a few lemongrass bushes in the garden not only provides spices for family meals but also prevents snakes from crawling into the house.

Garlic orchid: Garlic orchids have climbing stems and beautiful purple flowers, so they are often planted to decorate fences. Depending on the region, garlic orchids have different names such as garlic orchids, and wild orchids. Perhaps through the name you can partly know the aroma that this plant possesses, which is the smell of garlic. The strong smell of garlic has made reptiles wary and afraid to approach. In addition to its snake repelling properties, garlic orchids are also a useful plant in Oriental medicine, specializing in treating rashes, cooling, and eliminating toxins. Tiger tongue plant: The last plant on this list is probably familiar to office workers, which is the tiger tongue plant. Because it does not require much care, can live in an air-conditioned environment, has flat leaves and flowers, so the tiger tongue plant is chosen as an ornamental plant to decorate the desk. Similar to other plants, the tiger tongue plant secretes resin that is loved by snakes. In addition to growing plants, you should also keep your house tidy and clean to limit places where snakes can sleep. If you discover a snake's burrow or peeled skin in your garden or yard, immediately notify family members to take precautions and stay away from these areas.
