Banana peels have so much power; using them for plants is like giving them medicine, they grow like crazy

I believe many plant-loving friends enjoy eating bananas, and they're great for your health too. Most people just throw away the banana peel after eating. What a waste! Using them to grow plants is absolutely fantastic, because banana peels are rich in potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other nutrients, and the method is fairly simple. Come take a look!

Nutrient solution

Chop up the leftover banana peels, put them into a clean plastic bottle, then add some clean water, with the water level at about 1/5 of the bottle. Don't screw the cap on too tightly, otherwise it may expand during fermentation. Place it in the sun to bake, and once it has fermented, dilute it with water and use it to water the plants, about once a week.

Making nutrient soil

First chop up the banana peels, then find a larger container, add a layer of soil, then evenly spread a layer of banana peels on top of the soil, then add another layer of soil, and just keep repeating this process until the container is full. Once full, seal it up and place it in a spot with plenty of light. When the soil has decomposed, you can use it directly to grow plants.

Grinding dried peels into fertilizer

First put the banana peels in the sun to dry. Once the banana peels turn black and hard, crush the dried peels. If you have a large amount, you can use a blender or grinder to break them up directly. Then dig a few holes around the edge of the potted soil, pour the banana peel powder into the holes, and cover with a layer of soil, so the plants can slowly absorb the nutrients. If there is powder left over, you can put it in a glass bottle, seal it, and use it later.

Wiping leaves

Banana peels can not only be made into nutrient solution and flower fertilizer, but you can also directly use the leftover banana peel to wipe the leaves of flowering plants. Wipe both the front and back of the leaves, and this will make the plants full of life, with deep green and glossy leaves.
