Chinese Perfume Plant (Aglaia Odorata) - Sweet-Scented Elegance for Your Home
Bring the intoxicating beauty and sweet fragrance of the Chinese Perfume Plant into your home! Known for its lush, glossy green leaves and highly fragrant yellow flowers, this exotic beauty not only adds a touch of elegance to your space but also delights your senses with its natural perfume. Perfect for indoor gardens, office spaces, or plant enthusiasts looking to add a unique and aromatic plant to their collection, the Chinese Perfume Plant is sure to impress.
Fun Facts:
- Native to Asia: As the name suggests, this plant is native to Asia, particularly China and parts of Southeast Asia. It thrives in tropical climates and has been used for centuries for its pleasant fragrance.
- Natural Perfume: The Chinese Perfume Plant has earned its name due to the delicate, sweet aroma that its small yellow flowers release, especially at night. It’s perfect for anyone who loves a natural air freshener!
- Air Purifier: Like many other indoor plants, the Chinese Perfume Plant can help purify the air in your home by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen, making it not only beautiful but beneficial to your health as well.
Plant Care Instructions:
- Light: The Chinese Perfume Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can scorch its delicate leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window is ideal.
- Watering: Water regularly but make sure the soil drains well to prevent root rot. Keep the soil slightly moist during the growing season (spring and summer), but reduce watering in the winter when the plant's growth slows. Always check the top inch of the soil to determine if it needs water.
- Humidity: Being a tropical plant, the Chinese Perfume Plant appreciates higher humidity levels. If your home is dry, especially in the winter months, consider misting the leaves or placing the plant on a humidity tray. Alternatively, using a humidifier can also keep it happy.
- Temperature: This plant thrives in warm temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing it in areas with drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Fertilization: During the growing season, you can fertilize the Chinese Perfume Plant every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and vibrant blooms. In the winter months, reduce fertilization as the plant enters a period of dormancy.
- Pruning: Pruning is not necessary but can be done to maintain its shape or remove dead or damaged leaves. If your plant becomes leggy, trim it back to encourage new, bushier growth.
Potting and Repotting:
The Chinese Perfume Plant enjoys being slightly root-bound, so repot it only when it becomes too crowded. Use well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for tropical plants, and ensure the new pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
Why You'll Love It:
- Fragrant Blooms: Its sweet, floral scent is a natural air freshener, especially in the evenings when the fragrance intensifies.
- Easy Care: While it thrives with proper care, it's not fussy and is a great option for those new to plant care or seasoned plant parents alike.
- Tropical Beauty: The lush green leaves are stunning on their own, but once it blooms, the plant becomes a showstopper with its small but fragrant yellow flowers that bloom year-round in ideal conditions.
Add the Chinese Perfume Plant to your collection today and enjoy the lush beauty and sweet scent it brings to your home. Perfect for those who appreciate both fragrance and beauty in their indoor plants!
Plant Highlights:
- Fragrant Blooms: Tiny, golden-yellow flowers produce a light, pleasant scent, particularly noticeable in the early morning or evening.
- Foliage: Shiny, dark green leaves add a lush, elegant touch to any space.
- Versatile Growth: Ideal for home decor, patio gardens, or bonsai enthusiasts.
Care Instructions:
- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate partial shade.
- Watering Needs: Maintain evenly moist soil, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. Try our Moisture Meter and our Mister for your watering needs.
- Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm, humid conditions (60–85°F); protect from frost.
- Soil: Well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.

Great book
Format: Kindle
I have been an author for decades and published 4 books. I've been an editor for over a decade and this book is perfect for seasoned and new writers. It certainly made me take a new, long look at the latest book I'm busy with. I think it's great for getting one focused on the important points. I loved it. There wasn't too much about how the brain works to bore one or make it feel like a technical book on neuroscience. I found her writing style amusing and entertaining. I will definitely recommend it to all my clients and writing friends. There was nothing in the book I didn't know, but this book forces one to focus on the bigger picture. It doesn't matter how accomplished one is as a writer, one can always learn more. And I certainly did with this book. So, thank you, Ms. Cron.
I saw the negative three or fewer star comments and can only think the commentators didn't see what the author was actually trying to convey. It's a classic lesson in the KISS method (keep it simple stupid) and I loved it.
This isn't a full-on, in-depth analysis of every part of the craft of writing, as many seemed to expect, that would take 12 full books or more. This is also not only for beginners as some suggest. To them I would say, don't let hubris cloud your ability to write better--think beyond that--read the book again. I think the book serves as an excellent reference to keep us on track when we lose the plot, so to speak.
Seasoned writers can get quite jaded and write almost on auto-pilot at times--not good. Thank you, Ms. Cron, for putting me back on track and making me excited to re-write and re-edit my latest book, my first YA fantasy, for the zillionth time. I was out of my comfort zone with this book and feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure. Wired for Story has me fired up to go forth and do this.
I highly recommend this book, especially for seasoned writers.

Thanks to a great new book ”Wired for story
Format: Kindle
I’ve written many books over the years, and published 40 or so. Once I started writing my first novel, I found out that all the old techniques just didn’t work.
Thanks to a great new book ”Wired for story. The writer’s guide to using brain science. By Lisa Cron”
Lisa studied and cataloged the works of several Neuro scientists. She explained all of that, plus how it applied to writing a novel.
Better yet, she then shows us how to apply these techniques to where it counts. In addition, This changes the hierarchy of your novel. Ensuring that it’s focusing on what’s important to the brain.
Using this new brain science, she proposes a completely new hierarchy of needs for your book. Moreover, the fact that the brain is trying to solve the problem of the protagonist.
• “What happens” is the plot
• “Someone” is the protagonist
• The “goal” is what’s known as the story question
• “How are he or she changes” is what the story itself is actually about.
As counterintuitive as it may sound, the story is not about the plot or even what happens in it. Stories are about how we, rather than the world around us, change.
The more your reader discovers the missing pieces to solving the protagonist's problem the more interesting if it is.
It seems as the mind creates a mental stimulation of events described in the story. But he goes much deeper than that
Details about actions and sensations that are captured from the text and integrated with personal knowledge from past experiences these data are then run through mental stimulation using brain regions a closely mirror those involved when people perform, imagine, or observe similar real-world activities.
Haven’t you ever come home from a movie, reenacting that movie in your own mind?
When the events of the story of filtering through the protagonist's point of view, allowing us to watch as she makes sense of everything. Seeing it in her eyes. This is not just like we see things. It’s that we grasp what they mean to her.
Other words the reader must be aware of the protagonist personal effect on everything that happens.
This is exactly where I fell apart on my novel is should be a first person third person. Lisa explains all these points of view, their advantages, and their disadvantages… My personal choices third person, omniscient.
It also fixes another problem about tags. This technique is so powerful the third person doesn’t have to be bothered with he said; she said it’s so intuitive, it needs no explanation.
It also settles a big dispute that I’ve always had the use of italic, quotes, and indented text. None are necessary.
Some of the best examples that I’ve ever seen for show rather than tell. All the points that the author makes are demonstrated and explained with real examples from published articles.
It’s like a five-year writing course that you can complete in three or four days. I bookmarked it extensively so that I can get back to those important points.
Neuroscience also explains why social proof works so well. And a few hints on how to customize it, for your particular problem or opportunity.
As a copywriter, one who writes advertising copy? I have long been aware of how to write directly to the subconscious mind. These techniques have been known for almost 100 years.
We just didn’t know why they worked. Only that they did work. Thanks to Lisa for this fantastic book, I now know why they work.

Wowsers!
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book a few weeks ago expecting it to be pretty much like most of the other writing guides. I was not expecting to fall in love with it.
I don't know if it appeals to me because of my ADD or the fact that many of the scientific studies Ms. Cron cites in her book confirms much of what I suspected was true in my dealings with people for over a half-century in sales and marketing. It helped fill in the gaps of how we as social creatures love to immerse ourselves in story on an ongoing basis... that we are hard-wired to socially share our thoughts and emotions through more than statistical data streams and cold hard facts.
Her breakdown of the classic movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" literally changed my life by allowing me to see that George Bailey and I shared much in the way of misguided external goals blinding me to my true inner goals and motivations. I know this might sound like crap to some of you... but, I swear it is all true. In delving into what the protagonist of this movie wanted I discovered what I truly wanted and already had... I wanted to be unconditionally loved and accepted and I have all of that and more in my lovely wife. A black cloud of loathing at feeling like a failure lifted and I realize that if I died right now, I would do so a happy and fulfilled man. I know she did not write this book so I could pull my head out of a dark place, but, Lisa Cron, I thank you anyway.
Other than my life altering epiphany, I would recommend this book because it is more than just another how to write better book... the information here will help anyone who wants to understand themselves better and the people around them either living or fictional. I can see where it will be a great help to writers who want to better write the stories that matter to them. I know it is helping me.
I cannot recommend this book more highly than saying... buy it. It is worth every penny you'll spend on it. (For the record, I bought the paperback version.)

The ultimate "wake-up" scent (and no dry skin!)
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried plenty of "invigorating" body washes, but most of them just smell like artificial lime or leave my skin feeling tight. This Huron Body Wash is in a completely different league.
Why it’s my new daily go-to:
Complex, Fresh Scent: The mix of citrus, eucalyptus, and mint is incredible. It’s crisp and bold enough to wake you up in the morning, but the aromatic greens give it a sophisticated, high-end finish that doesn't smell like a cheap drugstore brand.
Actually Moisturizing: Usually, "cleansing" washes strip your skin, but the coconut oil and Vitamin E in this actually leave my skin feeling smooth. I’ve noticed way less dryness on my elbows and shoulders since switching.
Great Lather: A little goes a long way. It creates a rich, creamy lather that feels premium and rinses off clean without any slimy residue.
The "Peace of Mind" Factor: It’s hard to find a performance-focused body wash that is also vegan and cruelty-free. Knowing I'm getting a professional-grade product without the harsh chemicals (and with Witch Hazel to keep my skin clear) makes the price totally worth it.
Bottom Line: If you want to start your day smelling like a high-end spa rather than a locker room, get this. It’s worth every penny!
