Don't throw away fruit peels - use them to grow pothos, and your pothos will grow like crazy as if it has been injected with adrenaline.

Pothos is a plant that flower lovers are all too familiar with. Because of its tenacious vitality and its ability to survive as soon as it meets water, people call it the "flower of life." It can be grown either in soil or in water. When grown indoors, whether in a pot or by taking a few stems for water culture, it can grow well. Clinging to a column wrapped with palm fiber, it can also be trained into a trailing form and placed in a study or on a windowsill, or simply grown in a pot and displayed directly. It is a beautiful flower that is very suitable for indoor cultivation.

The original growing conditions of pothos are in forests shaded by towering trees, so its heliotropism is not strong. It is a shade-loving plant that likes scattered light and is relatively tolerant of shade. Pothos likes moisture. During the growing season, watering should be done so that the potting soil is kept moist most of the time. Never let the potting soil dry out, otherwise it can easily cause yellow leaves and a poor plant shape. In fact, flower lovers who have kept pothos all know that as long as you master a few key care techniques for pothos, getting pothos to fill its pot is no longer difficult. 1

If your pothos has been cared for for a very, very long time and still has not filled its pot, then today I will teach you a simple method: use this kind of fruit peel as flower fertilizer for pothos. After one month, your pothos will grow like crazy as if it has been injected with adrenaline.

This kind of fruit peel is the "pomelo peel" that we often eat. People today casually throw fruit peels into the trash when eating fruit, yet they do not know that this kind of fruit peel is actually a great flower fertilizer for pothos.

Pomelo peel can not only remove odors and repel mosquitoes, but can also be composted into fertilizer for growing flowers. It is a very good natural flower fertilizer. Pomelo peel contains very rich protein, organic acids, vitamins, and nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium. Cut the collected pomelo peel into small pieces, put them into a plastic bottle, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and place it in a sunny spot to ferment for about a week. When you see the color of the fermented citrus peel gradually change, it can be diluted with water and used to water flowers.

To guard against any odor during fermentation, we can appropriately add a little orange peel to remove the smell. Another method will not cause odor, but it is a bit more troublesome: put a layer of orange peel, then a layer of soil, and repeat this layering, finally covering it with a layer of soil, without adding a single drop of water. Likewise, place it in a sunny and ventilated spot, and after about a month it can be used as fertilizer for pothos.

Remember: never put orange peel directly into the soil of pothos, because the heat generated during the rotting (fermentation) process of pomelo peel will burn the roots of pothos, so keep this point in mind.
