It costs 0 PLN, because I would throw it in the trash anyway. It’s the best “soup” for palms. I got the recipe from my grandma

potted palms are a beautiful decoration of our homes, so it’s no wonder that many people take care of them almost as much as they take care of family members. How? We’re talking about regular and proper watering, fertilizing, and trimming. It’s no different with potted palms. If they are growing poorly, you can enrich them with homemade fertilizer from what you probably have at home.

How to care for a potted palm? Prepare homemade fertilizer from leftovers and it will grow lush and healthy

My grandmother already had one in a pot and I always admired her plant, which was tall up to the ceiling. She once told me why it grew so beautifully. It turned out that my grandmother regularly used homemade fertilizer made from leftovers, which she treated me to when she visited.

We are talking about an easy-to-prepare fertilizer from banana peels. All you have to do is eat the fruit and cut the still fresh peel into pieces. Then put it in a jar, pour hot water over it and close it. After two days the fertilizer will be ready to be diluted (with water in a 1:1 ratio) and watered. Using such a nutrient once every 3-4 weeks should be enough.

What plants should I use banana fertilizer for? They will quickly revive and beautify my apartment

A potted palm tree is not the only plant that you can water with banana peel fertilizer. This nutrient is also great for:

• fern
• dracaena
• pink
• tomatoes
• strawberries
• pumpkin

WARNING! Banana peel fertilizer contains large amounts of potassium. For this reason, it is better not to use it on fruit trees and berry plants, which have a higher demand for nitrogen. By providing them with potassium, you can over-fertilize the plants, which will quickly wither away.
