First, we need to talk about whether it is even necessary for us to use banana peels as flower fertilizer. If a flower grower lives in a high-rise building, has no experience with composting fertilizer, and only suddenly wonders whether bananas can be used as flower fertilizer because they like eating bananas, then the editor here would say that this flower grower can give up the idea of using banana peels as flower fertilizer. With that time, it would be better to spend a few yuan on a bag of organic fertilizer, which has better fertilizer efficiency and is also clean and hygienic.

If a flower grower lives in a house with a yard and has experience with composting fertilizer, then there is no need for the editor to say it. Banana peels, apple peels, and the like have all been composted.

There is another situation: some flower growers really have itchy hands and are determined to use banana peels as flower fertilizer. Then they can do this: cut the banana peels into granular pieces and bury them in the flower pot. What must be reminded here is, first, do not use too much; the smaller the flower pot, the less should be added. For growing succulents and the like, it is not recommended to add them.

Overall, banana peels can be used as flower fertilizer, but they need to be composted. If they are used without composting, they should be cut into pieces and buried at the bottom of the flower pot, as deep as possible and as far from the roots as possible, and as little as possible, because banana peels will also go through a composting process in the flower pot. If the amount is large, it will burn the roots.
