2 kinds of fruit peels: don't throw them away after eating; put them in a bottle, add water, and pour on flowers - better than fertilizer

When growing flowers at home, you don't necessarily have to spend money on fertilizer. In our daily life, waste suitable for use as flower fertilizer can be collected everywhere. With just a little preparation, it can be used to fertilize potted flowers, and its nutrient content is even more complete than purchased chemical fertilizers and tablet fertilizers, with longer-lasting fertilizer effect and it is economical and practical. Growing flowers is a very interesting thing, so hurry up and get started!

Do you know how to make organic fertilizer from fruit peels yourself? If not, let me tell you. Don't throw away watermelon rind and the like after eating. Besides watermelon rind, there are also orange peel and banana peel. For example, in summer there is a lot of watermelon rind, and at this time of year, it's the season for eating oranges, so you can collect orange peel. And adding lemon peel will also give it a slight fresh fragrance. And so on - as long as it grows on a tree, it can actually all be used. If you think the pieces are too big, you can cut them smaller with a knife.

Making fertilizer yourself is best done in autumn and winter. When the temperature rises in spring and it decomposes and breaks down without a foul odor, it can be mixed into potting soil as a base fertilizer. For home flower growing, the above fertilizer sources are generally not used to soak and make liquid fertilizer, in order to maintain environmental hygiene. Inedible rotten beans, bad peanuts, moldy melon seeds, spoiled eggs, etc. all contain relatively rich nitrogen. Crushed bones, fish bones, poultry manure, chicken feathers, hooves and horns, human hair, etc. contain rich phosphorus. These organic wastes from daily life, after being piled up and fermented, can be used as base fertilizer; sealed and soaked in a vat or bucket to make a black, smelly liquid, after dilution, can be used as a top dressing.

It must first be fermented. Let's start with orange peel. Orange peel is rich in organic acids, vitamins, essential oils and other components. After fermentation, it becomes a high-quality nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. At the same time, it is weakly acidic, making it very suitable for application to plants such as pothos, spider plant, and lucky bamboo. You can prepare a jar or box, or an empty oil bottle or the like. It is best not to use glass, because fermentation will occur later and produce gas. If the gas is not released in time, it may explode.

Put all the fruit peels in, then cover with the lid, and place it in an inconspicuous spot. Just leave it there, and every once in a while open it to release the gas. Because a lot of gas will be produced inside. If you don't want to release the gas, you can choose a larger bottle and leave more empty space. In summer it is faster, and in winter it is slower. Only after fermentation can it be opened and used as fertilizer.

The second kind is pomelo peel. Pomelo peel is also rich in trace elements such as phosphorus and potassium, is weakly acidic, and after fermentation can be used to fertilize flowering plants such as jasmine and gardenia. Method for making flower fertilizer from pomelo peel: mix the pomelo peel directly into two-thirds sandy soil, or put it into a small bucket, basin, jar or other container and seal the opening tightly with mud, and compost it into humus soil. It can then be used directly to plant flowers, or applied as a top-dressing flower fertilizer.
