This food waste has a rich composition, but it should be used correctly, reminds landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

How to Use Banana Peel in Orchid Care

Healing powder

This is a very simple and effective method of applying fertilizer. First, you will need to dry the banana peel and grind it into powder using a mortar or coffee grinder.

Then, one small spoon of fertilizer is used for each flower. We put the fertilizer on the soil and water it as usual.

Liquid fertilizer

You can also prepare a "treat" for the orchid in liquid form. To do this, we will again need to dry the peel and bring it to a powder state.

Then dissolve one small spoon of the resulting product in a glass of hot water. When the liquid reaches room temperature, you can add the fertilizer.
