Don't toss banana peels carelessly - use them as fertilizer and your flowers will grow like crazy, shooting up into a cascade of blooms
To make flowers grow better, you must ensure they get enough nutrients. The fertilizer flowers need is usually something you have to buy, but did you know there are many things in daily life that work well as flower food? Banana peels are an excellent fertilizer. Not only are they easy to get, they are also very good for flower care.
1. Making liquid fertilizer
Cut the banana peels into small pieces, put them in a bottle, fill the bottle with clean water and seal it tightly. Once it has fermented, dilute it with water and pour it over your plants and flowers to make them grow even better!
2. Making compost
When composting, also cut the banana peels into small pieces, sprinkle them into the potting soil, cover with a layer of soil on top, and repeat this process. This nutrient-rich fertilizer will make plants grow more vigorously.
3. Sun-dried banana peels
Leave the banana peels in the sun to dry, then crush them into powder - this makes an excellent fertilizer. When using it, you can sprinkle it directly into the potting soil, or dilute it with water and pour it on.
4. Fertilizer for sowing
It can also be used as fertilizer when sowing. Bury the banana peels in the soil, sow your seeds there, and as the seeds grow they will gradually absorb the nutrients from the decomposing banana peels in the soil, making the seeds more nutritious.
5. Used for pest control
Banana peels also have the clever use of killing pests. Mix banana peels with apple cider vinegar and put them in a bottle. At night the bottle will give off a fragrance that attracts small bugs into the bottle, and once they fall into the trap, they can be killed. This effect only lasts one night; after fermentation the next day, it is gone.
