Throw a piece of fruit peel into the pot, and the flowers will grow strong and vigorous!

Watermelon rind

It is said that there are three perfect things in summer: air conditioning, watermelon and wifi. So why keep the leftover watermelon rinds? Just use them as fertilizer!

1. Use watermelon rind to make fertilizer and water the flowers

1. If you want to use watermelon rind to make fertilizer, you must scrape off all the red flesh on the rind, otherwise the sugar content will be too high and it will easily attract insects when making fertilizer.

2. Scrape the red watermelon rind and cut it into small pieces.

3. Put the cut watermelon rind in the prepared plastic bottle or bucket, seal it, and tighten the lid.

4. Place the plastic bottle filled with melon rinds in the sun. After about 10-15 days, we will find watermelon juice in the plastic bucket. Just pour out the watermelon juice and use it to water the flowers directly. Using watermelon rind water to water flowers can make more flowers bloom and the colors more vivid!

2. Use watermelon peel as nutrient soil

In addition to being able to directly ferment fertilizer for watering flowers, using watermelon peel to make nutritious soil is also very good!

1. Find a large bucket or foam box and spread a 4-6cm thick layer of garden soil on the bottom.

2. Cut fresh watermelon rind into small pieces of about 3-5 cm and sprinkle them evenly on the soil with a thickness of about 7 cm.

3. Cover the watermelon rind with a layer of garden soil about 4-6cm thick, then stack it in layers. Finally, cover the surface with a layer of garden soil, and then seal the opening with a film or put on the lid.

4. Put the bucket or foam box in the sun and expose it to the sun for about half a month, and the watermelon rind will rot. Then stir the soil evenly and it will become acidic soil, which is great for growing gardenias and jasmines!

Banana peel

Huahua did some statistics and found that the fruit she eats the most is basically banana.

1. Use banana peel to make fertilizer and water for flowers

1. Collect banana peels and some rotten bananas and use them as raw materials for making compost.

2. Find a relatively large plastic bottle or plastic bucket, fill it with about 1/4 water, chop the banana peels and rotten bananas, and seal them in the bottle.

3. Place a plastic bottle filled with banana peels in the sun. Because gas will be produced when compost is fermenting, it is best to unscrew the lid to let the gas out after a period of time.

4. Banana peel contains a lot of potassium, which is very effective for flowers with long flowering periods and many flowers, such as roses, gardenias, etc.! But please note that banana peels should only be used to make fertilizer once a week, and never use too much, as it can easily cause fertilizer growth and burn the roots.

2 banana peels to rub the leaves

If you don't want to ferment fertilizer, or think it takes too long, you can directly wipe the leaves with fruit peels, which can make the leaves become shiny and glossy immediately.

Because banana peels contain natural oils, they can not only lubricate the leaves, but also remove dust adsorbed on the surface of the leaves. For flowers with thick leaves, such as Clivia and Green ivy, the effect is very good!

Grape skin

When summer comes, Huahua likes to eat grapes. The grape season basically passes from when it is most expensive, to when it is the cheapest, and then to when it is most expensive again.

1. Use grape skins to make fertilizer and water the flowers

1. Collect the spitted grape skins and rotten grapes and use them as fertilizer.

2. Soak the leftover grape skins and rotten grapes in water in a bucket or large jar, then seal it and expose it to the sun.

3. The fermentation speed of grapes is very fast, and it can be successfully fermented in less than a month. Use the fermented fertilizer water to water the flowers in a ratio of 1:20, and the effect is great!

Grapefruit peel

Huahua is not very good at choosing grapefruits. Basically, eight out of ten times, the grapefruits she buys are bitter. Even so, Huahua still likes to drink iced honey grapefruit tea the most in summer, it is simply a magic weapon to cool down!

1 grapefruit peel as nutrient soil

1. First, prepare a large plastic bottle or plastic bucket.

2. Chop the grapefruit peel into small pieces and set aside.

3. Put a layer of soil on the bottom of the plastic bucket, then put a layer of grapefruit peel, and then put another layer of soil. Repeat this process until the bottle is full, and finally cover it with another layer of soil.

4. After the grapefruit peel is fermented, stir the soil directly and use it. Be careful not to add water, as this will cause odor. Open the bottle cap every once in a while to let some air in to prevent the plastic bottle from bursting.

2 grapefruit peel deodorant

In addition to being used as nutrient soil, grapefruit peel can also deodorize. When fermenting fish intestine fertilizer, which is particularly prone to stink, you can directly add some grapefruit peel to reduce the odor of the fermented fertilizer.

Pineapple peel

Before, when eating pineapples, Huahua would ask the fruit store to peel the skin after buying them. Since I learned that it can be used to make fertilizer, I have been taking the pineapple peels home directly. It is very convenient to use it to make fertilizer.

1. Use pineapple peel to make fertilizer and water for flowers

1. Prepare the leftover pineapple peel, mineral water bottles and brown sugar.

2. Put pineapple peel and brown sugar in a plastic bucket. The ratio of brown sugar, pineapple peel and water is 1:3:10. Then cover it with a lid to seal it. Poke a few small holes in the lid to allow ventilation.

3. Place the plastic bucket in a cool and ventilated place and ferment for about 3 months, and the fermentation will be successful.

4. It will take about 3 months for the pineapple peel water to be fermented. Mix fertilizer water and clean water in a ratio of 1:500 to form a solution. Use it when watering flowers to make the leaves of flowers more shiny!

1. Use apple peel to make fertilizer and water for flowers

1. Save all the apple peels you peel when eating apples and use them as fertilizer.

2. Prepare a large plastic bucket, crush the apple peels, put them in the bucket, add about 10 times the amount of water, seal it and place it in the sun to ferment.

3. In the hot summer, the water can be fermented into fertilizer in about 2 months. Mix fermented fertilizer water and clean water in a ratio of 1:50 and water the flowers. This will make the flowers grow faster without yellowing leaves!

2. Soak orange peels in water to repel insects

1. Collect the tangerine and orange peels and set aside.

2. Soak directly in water for 48 hours and then take it out.

3. Put the water soaked with tangerine peels directly into a spray bottle and spray it on the plants with insects. Do this once a day for more than 3 times in a row to treat pests such as small black flies.

Tips: When fermenting fertilizer water, if you dislike the smell, you can add EM bacteria. If you don’t have them at home, brown sugar and orange peel can also deodorize and accelerate fermentation!
