Fruit peels can be used as fertilizer; placing them on succulents provides plenty of nutrients.

Eating fruit not only adds rich nutrition but also helps with beauty and skincare, but did you know that turning fruit peels into flower fertilizer is also superb? It can stop leaves from turning yellow and make flowers bloom more, truly making plants burst out of their pots in no time. Making flower fertilizer from fruit peels also saves the money you would spend buying it. Some fertilizers sold on the market contain too many chemical elements, which still pose a certain risk to flower growth, so it is better to make a little flower fertilizer yourself.

Citrus peels can be made into compost; they are excellent nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. Adding them to compost and mixing with fallen leaves, vegetable leaves and so on can very effectively increase the nutrients of the compost soil. The method is also very simple: first cut the citrus peels into very small pieces, the finer the better, and only then put them into the compost material and mix. Doing this not only speeds up the composting process but also removes the odor of the compost, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

We generally eat things like pomelo and apples, and the peels of these fruits can be collected to make flower fertilizer. You can find a fairly large plastic bucket, put all these peels in, and then place it in a relatively cool place to wait for fermentation. Every so often, you must open the lid once to let it breathe, otherwise after a long time the bottle may explode. When opening it, it is best to place it in a well-ventilated spot, because the smell may be somewhat strong.

Banana peels are rich in phosphorus and potassium, which can help flowering plants produce more blooms. Turning banana peels into flower fertilizer is also simple: just sun-dry the banana peels until they crumble at a pinch, then grind the banana peels into powder, which helps the plants absorb them. Then dig a few small holes around the edge of the potted plant, sprinkle the banana powder in, and then sprinkle in some soil. Basically once a month is enough.

You can crush various shells and then mix them with soil, which can improve the soil's air permeability and help the roots breathe. For example, peanut shells, walnut shells, nut shells and so on, because the material is relatively hard and ferments slowly, they will not harm the flowers. Placed at the bottom of the flower pot, they can effectively increase drainage, reduce water accumulation in the potting soil, and effectively lower the probability of root rot.

Next is leaf mold fertilizer. Nowadays there are quite a lot of fallen leaves along roadside green belts and in parks, and they are also fairly easy to collect. Collect these fallen leaves, sun-dry them first, then find a fairly large plastic bottle, and put them into the bottle layer by layer with fallen leaves and soil. After about 3 months, fermentation will be complete.
