Orange peel is a treasure; give it to pothos and spider plants and they'll shoot up to two meters tall

Autumn is here, and it's orange season right now. Many people just throw the peel away after eating, which is really a shame. The most valuable part of an orange is its peel: drying it for tea or soaking it in water to wash your hair and get rid of dandruff are both great options. And for gardening enthusiasts, it's a real treasure too. Water your plants with orange peel soak, and you'll save a whole year's worth of fertilizer money.

Today the editor will explain how to use orange peel for gardening. Give it to pothos and spider plants and they'll grow as if injected with chicken blood, shooting up 2 meters tall! Orange peel contains organic acids, vitamins and more; once fermented and decomposed, these components make excellent plant food, especially suited to foliage plants like pothos and spider plants.

The method is also very simple: soak the orange peel in clean water for a whole day, then dilute it with clean water according to the concentration and use it directly to water pothos and spider plants.

You can also crush the orange peel, put it in a clean bottle, add an appropriate amount of clean water, cap the bottle, and leave it in the sun to ferment and decompose. Open it every two or three days to release the gas; generally it's ready to use in two or three months. Dilute with water and water your pothos; the leaves will be glossy green and the growth robust.

In summer, when there's a lot of dust, we can also wipe the leaves directly with orange peel. It not only removes dust and adds shine, but also repels insects, keeping the leaves lush and green all year and growing bigger than a palm.
