I can't tell you how much I love plants. They just make me happy. Unfortunately, like many people, I don't seem to have a green thumb. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
But I'm not going to let that stop me from trying to keep my plants alive. If you're in the same boat, this banana peel trick should help us both.
But did you know that potassium aids plants in moving nutrients and water between cells? Oh, yes. Potassium also strengthens plants' stems and helps to fights off disease.

If you see the banana peels decomposing, you will know that it's time to get rid of them. Then you can repeat the process to make a new batch of "tea" for your plants.
They're especially great for plants like tomatoes, peppers, or any flowering plants. So I have to try it on my mini roses that seem to be dying off. I also need to try to revive my Peace Lilly, too. That poor thing has been suffering.
I can't wait to use it on some of the fruits I want to plant there. Hello, berry season. I'm waiting for you, hee, hee.
