Having a house full of plants is a real obsession for many of us, but keeping them healthy and lush is a challenge. To successfully treat the plants and get them to bloom and be lush, we explain how to prepare “fortified” irrigation water .

There may be times when our plants stop growing or show signs of ailments, such as yellowing of the leaves or a general weak appearance. Fortunately, there are natural ingredients whose nutrients such as vitamins and minerals can help us recover our plants.

Each plant has different water needs: some adapt to prolonged dry periods, others need constantly moist soil. However, all plants need nutrients.

Although there are all types of fertilizers on the market, even liquid ones, one way to nourish our plants daily is through irrigation . Below we explain how to enrich it with nutrients .

You need:

• Banana peels
• Cooking water for vegetables, pasta or eggs (without salt, sugar or other spices)
• Hermetically sealed container

After you have cooked your food (pasta, vegetables or eggs), drain it, save the water and let it cool.

Pour the cooking water into the airtight container and add the banana peels cut into pieces, then close the container.

You can keep it in an airtight container for two days, after which you should discard it to prevent the liquid from stagnating.

Dilute it with pure water and use the liquid to water your plants at least once a week.

The cooking water of pasta, vegetables or eggs contains very useful nutrients for plants. The potassium released by banana peels gives our plants an extra boost during flowering.
