Welcome Tips How to Use Banana Peel as Fertilizer?

If you are also a plant lover, and especially succulents, you know how difficult it is to keep them healthy and protect their appearance. Succulents tend to turn yellow, wrinkle or rot due to many different factors.

Instructions

  1. To prepare the fertilizer, you need peels from 4 or 5 bananas, preferably organic, and 3 liters of water.
  2. Cut the skins into pieces, then bring a litre of water to the boil and cook the skins over low heat for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, let cool and mix. Then mix the freshly mixed mixture with two liters of water.

Ideally, use fertilizer when succulents are in bloom. The nutrients in the compound stimulate their growth and will help prevent them from rotting.
