BANANA PEEL FERTILIZER - HARMFUL EFFECTS ON PLANTS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Banana Peel Tea is considered to be an excellent homemade fertilizer due to high Potassium content in Bananas. I have seen so much online about banana tea benefits as an organic, home made fertiliser for garden. But In this video, you will learn about the sad truth behind Banana Tea fertilizers and why we should never use this to fertilize plants.

I watered my Aloe plant, which sustained hail damage, with banana tea and it doubled in size over 1 month. My plant looks fabulous!
If you are supplementing microbes, they will eat the sugars
I usually dry the banana peels and grind them to powder and use as fertilizer
How much quantity do u use for 1 pot????
I do the same, with good results, but I first add the dried banana peel powder to my currently finished compost and let it digest for at least a month. Along with powdered dried eggshells. This is an end of season activity, giving rich compost for seed starting indoors in December.
You just made banana flour 👍
Same
I boil banana peels to release the magnesium. I use this when yellowing of transplants in the garden. I dilute it well, only need it once, haven’t had gnat problems.
Great...👍🙂
Why not just add Epsom salts they’re very cheap
what does your bs claim do? heavy metal tea? unless you grow your own bananas, your making aluminum sulfate dipped tea
So many Internet "shortcuts" are just reposting what someone else has said. Rarely do you see a side by side comparison. Love this video, thanks!
Thank you so much. I am glad the video was helpful to you. 🙂🙏
Banana peels do work. But should be decomposed properly before using, thru water or mud
But the chemistry you speak with so much confidence is actually senseless. You can say it as your opinion. But when you speak science, please validate its legitimacy. Your audience might actually think that it's true😢
This is such good advice. I followed an individual who said banana water is magic for plants. Well, all I got was swarms of horrifying nats. Im glad I know this was the cause.
Thank you so much. I am glad the video was helpful to you. 🙏🙂
Gnats
Glad I watched this. I've just made a flask of banana juice. I've had fungus nats in my house and they've driven me mad! Had to chop down all my plants. The banana cocktail can go straight in the bin. I'll stick to rain water. Also never make the mistake of bringing soil from out side into your house. I ended up with thousands of mites crawling around my plants. Never again will I make that mistake!!! Good vid thanks for the knowledge. Good buy rotton banana juice. 😅
Thanks for watching. I am glad the video is helpful to you. 🙂
Maybe one shouldn't use it for house plants?
@@Homemakr
Can you help me my leafs of flower plants have turned into yellow after using banana peel liquid fertilizer.
This explanation of yours makes everything so clear. I won’t be using banana peels for fertilisation anymore, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
It all depends on your soil microbes.. it more likely to be effective in a farm where bugs are already everywhere anyway.
Hello. Thank you for the information. I buried one banana in the end of a bed that had corn and green beans growing. The green bean faired way better than the corn. The corn cobs had only a few kernels of corn, the other end of the bed the corn had full kernels of corn. I like the drying idea. Thank you
Thanks for watching and am glad its helpful 😊
The problem might've been the nitrogen if the banana wasn't composted prior to adding to the garden, to my knowledge green beans don't need a lot of nitrogen where as corn does, that's why peas and beans are suggested to grow with corn because they're are nitrogen lockers because they don't use a whole lot.
When something decomposes though, that organic matter takes up a lot of nitrogen, then the nitrogen later gets released with other minerals as the decomposition process is finishing.
If you put the organic matter with the corn seed then the nutrients should start becoming available to the plant as it grows, but do it when the corn is growing past the seedling stage then you might do it harm.
The lack of kernels sounds like a pollination issue, not a nitrogen problem.
@@kdeminck correct
Good points however the banana tea should not be used at full strength 1/4 cup to a liter of water my plant's love it
Great.👍🙂
This must be what I did wrong. I didn’t dilute it. It was smelly. I think I let it ferment for too long. I only mixed it with water because it smelled. All the leaves at the bottom of my plant turned yellow. My heart broke.
@@dfaison12
It has negative impact when I used banana peed liquid fertilizer in my flower plant even in ratio of 1:8. The leafs suddenly turned into yellow.
Boiling the peels for an hour in a pot (on low) releases more nutrients and removes many of the drawbacks (sterilizes it, won't attract gnats etc).
Ive never had issue’s with fungus gnats, springtails and mushrooms everywhere yes which are both good signs of healthy soil.
Good information! I was just about to use some banana peels on my house plants. So glad I found this video first! You might have saved my houseplants!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Very informative. I was just in the process of making the tea but hadn’t used it yet.
Glad it was helpful!
Same 😩
How about using banana tea for outdoor plants in he garden.. Gnats should not become problem since they would be confined outdoors. I use all my fruit & veggie peelings in my trench composting in the garden to enrich the soil prior to plan my garden. I, in fact, include all my weeds in the trench composting since once they are buried, everything dies due to lack of sunlight to produce photosynthesis.
I wanted to comment on here before even getting very far, but she is right! I only use it on my fruits and vegetables (all in ground). Even my avocado tree doesn’t like it yet. And that is in a pot.
Thanks for sharing!
Just learned this the hard way. So many gnats! I cannot believe so many people use banana tea and wonder why they don’t have this problem. I cannot stand gnats not to mention they eat the roots
@DejaDrewit, Hi dear. I understand whT you might be going through. Fungus Gnats are annoying creatures. I got rid of them from my plants by using Diatomaceous Earth and bottom watering my plants. Its was really helpful and I got rid of all fungus gnats from all my plants. You can also try it.
I always had a bad problem with gnats, you should try using fabric pots which will almost completely eliminate them along with fly sticks to help
Bananas are great especially for fruits and vegetables.. Fresh and don't nees any chemical artificial fertilizer.
I can’t believe this! I just read about the banana tea a few days ago and I watered my indoor plants with it yesterday 🤦♀️
Hi, I hope the video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching.😊
The best compost I ever used was one which I made myself using various fruit and vegetable waste. No weeds in it. It only took a year to rot down in a garden rubbish bin because I cut up any thick stalks such as from broccoli, and even sometimes put some of it in a blender with a little water to add it to the bin. I didn't add any garden worms but am sure they would have helped even more. I only rarely turned over the rotting fruit and veg waste. It's important it hasn't been cooked. It must be raw.
A mix of various seems to be best 😊👍
Thats right 👍... Thank you so much sharing your experience with us. 🙂
What did it rot to? Did you not get maggots? I want to try please
Makes lots of sense. The powder form seems safer. Thanks!
Hi, I hope the video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching.😊
Thank you. So helpful to give more of the science behind the do's and don'ts of food waste fertilisers. Another lesson to check all information we get off social media!
Thank you. 🙂
I did the tea for my cannabis plants and they loved it! Buds put on weight. I did it again a few weeks later but left the banana sit in the water for longer. The entire house smelled like rotting banana. I was worried I was introducing fungus and bacteria into my plants. I cut them down 2 weeks later (harvest time) and they finished nicely. No damage. Thanks for the tip on the dry banana. I’ll try that next time. I do think that once the banana powder gets wet, it will attract fungus gnats but I use diatomaceous earth and a few other things to manage the pest population.
Thanks for sharing your experience
To get rid of the gnats , use cinnamon powder to get them out
how did you make your tea , was it with skins or the actual fruit. im just about ot give my outside plants a hit to help bud development
@@NOT_SURE.. use cinnamon and a touch of garlic if you're going to use it outside
highly doubt it, bananas are dipped in aluminum sulfate to ripen, some good heavy metal tea
Hello 👋,
Thank you for your support
I mainly compost my banana peels and do use some banana peel tea outside. I mix the tea with a water soluble fertilizer, and LABS and drench the roots. I also dry bananas peels and mix with homemade bone meal. I sometimes mix both with alfalfa meal (alfalfa pellets that have been soaked in water and expanded, then dried) to provide N,P, and K.
Sounds good👍🙂
Awesome 👌
that's lots of work for little effects
@@harlzberg6068 no it’s not it’s. Labor of love and when u grow your own medicine nothing is to much work
@@blizzard_of_Za all good, when you do more research, you'll realize, other methods go way further and do more efficient techniques, all while being organic.
Very TRUE,
All my Rose 🌹 plants died after I used BANANA TEA as Fertilizer. 😢
Thank you for the advice. I have watched so many videos on using fresh banana and orange peels. I was JUST about to soak my peels in water. I will let them dry and make powder instead.
Hi, I hope the video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching.😊
Glad I saw this. I just soaked some banana peels two days ago. Came to open it and I can smell the sweetness and I thought about the amount of nats that would be flying around in my house or outside in my plants. Decided to dump it out. Will try something else.
Thank you so much.🙂
This is not true, my babies loved the banana tea i gave it so idk what she is growing that doesn't like Banana Tea
Lucky I watched your video,iwas about to water my plants w/ banana peels tea, no need to follow those info. How about ma'am the moringga leaves tea, is it good fertilizer for the plant?
Hi Raquel, There is no harm in trying moringa leaves water (good for health as well). 👍 Let us know how it went.🙂
Thank you for sharing. How long it takes before the dried powdery form starts to release the nutrients in the soil that can be absorbed by the roots?
😊I would like to know what to put in a compost,for my garden?Thank you for your information about the banana peels
For a healthy compost pile, balance nitrogen-rich green materials (like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, grass clippings, eggshells, herbivore manure, seaweed, green leaves, plant trimmings, fresh herbs, and spent flowers) with carbon-rich brown materials (such as dry leaves, straw, shredded paper and cardboard, untreated sawdust, dried cornstalks, pine needles, dry grass clippings, nut shells, small twigs, and non-bleached coffee filters). You can also add hair, fur, feathers, natural fibre rags, natural wine corks, vacuum cleaner dust, and dryer lint. Avoid meat, dairy, oils, diseased plants, weeds with seeds, carnivorous pet waste, inorganic materials, treated wood, charcoal ash, and large wood pieces. Regularly turn the pile, keep it moist, and chop materials for faster decomposition.
Thank you so much!
I have few questions: I tried one time on my indoor herbs, orchids and fern, banana tea few weeks ago but I add cinnamon and 1:3 water, it can cost me problems in a future. And can I make dry powder from potatoes peels or it just for banana?
Drying out a banana it doesn’t remove sugar content, does it? Seems like it would just be reconstituted once it gets wet again.
Banana peel water grows roses and holds flowers longer
Thank you so much have learnt a new thing.
Thank you so much Bymby. I am glad that the video was helpful to you.☺
Thanks for the information. I have just removed banana peels that I put around my plants. This is a lesson that you don't follow everything you hear from people. Practice what your elderly used to grow food in their pieces of land. There were no these many ideas that we have now and their produce would be enormous. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Nomathemba. ☺
I just dug trenches in my garden last week around my pumpkins. I poured blended Bananas in the bottom, layered with whole banana peel, added powdered egg shells, topped with bunny poo and hay, covered with dirt. Do I leave it or disrupt the roots again and get it out?
The most important point made was the Npk difference between the water soluble and the dry. The dry had a higher K of 11.4 % as compared to the water soluble was 6% or less.
Better to use dried banana peels powder as it contains more pottassium than raw peels.
Thank you so much for this. Iam a new greenhouse grower and I was going to use banana tea. I'm not now. Thanks
You are so welcome! Thank you
I believe its not be banana peel alone but should be prepared together or added into it white vinegar and baking soda
I think the best way to use any fruit or vegetable scraps is to throw it in the compost bin and let it decompose to form a good organic fertiliser.
Good information.. but there are so many videos say it is helpful.. I do not disagree with you, I would like to know if you have experience the same or experimented the same. Also, do you say the above based on your educational background? I have been doing all the things as you mentioned not to do and I see a lot of fungus and bacterial diseases on my plants.. doo you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the diseases or make plant robust to fight against them? What are your thoughts of using rice water/butter milk/hydrogen peroxide/baking soda? I would love to get your thoughts about the same.. thank you
Hi there, This video is purely based on my personal experience. Just like your plants, my plants also developed fungus gnats and other diseases. That is when I did some research on banana peel solution. I tried a lot of remedial measures such as hydrogen peroxide, baking soda. But the best one was Diatomaceous Earth. It really helped me to get rid of all the gnats.
very informative, thanks n God bless you.
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Got it i was about to do that😂...no banana peel what about the egg shell they said it is good for the plants...thank you u save my plant's
Hi there, I have made a video on Egg shells as well. Please feel free to check it out. Thanks for watching. I am glad the video was helpful for you.
I think the thing to note is that banana peels are usually just thrown away, unlike the other fruits and vegetables you mentioned that are consumed.
What about composting the scraps fruit and vegetables and bananas peels and when you pour water in the compost the leagued that drained I use it as fertiliser is that a good way to make plants thrive?
Using Compost water is an effective way of fertilizing as the solid particles of fruits/vegetables have been decomposed by the microbes into smaller particles to release the mineral ions. That water is rich in essential minerals required by the plant.
There may be a scientific reason why the sugars and carbs in the tea are bad, but not so once dried and powdered, but please tell me why this would be so.
Is the dry banana peel powder pit on the soil or mixed with water.
Then what should we do for phaphoras?
THANK YOU! I just made a container of banana tea. Was going to use it on my container veggies. So glad I stumbled acrioss your video.
Thank you so much for watching. I am glad the video is helpful to you. ☺
it should be fine for veggies outdoors, she is talking about houseplants
Thank you for the info.Can I ask how about using Fermented Banana Fruit Juice?
Fermented fruit juices are generally beneficial for plants but there are some downsides that needs to be considered before using them. My upcoming video will be talking more about the FFJ's. Stay tuned and Thanks for watching.
So, the issue here is, use banana peel in a proper way.
Thats correct..👍
Can we use potato peel liquid or beetroot juice in plants? or it's also harmful for plants? Please guide for making homemade organic fertilizer for potassium
You can try fermented fruit fertilizer if you want to a homemade organic fertilizer. It is better than normal juices. you can add any type of fruit or vegetable to make this fertilizer. But you must consider some important points before using it for your plants. Please check out my video on FFJ fertilizers. ua-cam.com/video/L3kCoiVUXWc/v-deo.html
I was thinking to trying banana peales as fertilizer but after watching you video i canceled my program.
Thank you so much for watching.🙏
The nitrogen argument isn’t the most relevant because nitrogen-rich fertilizers are plentiful in the market. Most gardeners use the potassium to supplement the abundance of nitrogen from other fertilizers.
Also, the other sources of potassium..are also heavy in sugars and carbs.
Other than those points, I found the information helpful. It seems that the dried form is best.
I simply blended my bananas in water until it was all liquid then gave it to my plant
Good Idea. But i think it will better if you let it ferment and the use the diluted solution.
Can we use Banana peel fertilizer mixing with ash or fungicide
I would like to see you make a video about potato peel water fertilizers if you don't mind. I feel like you would give more information about them than the other videos i've seen about them.
Thanks so much for watching. I am glad the video was helpful to you. Will make a video on potato peels as well.
@@Homemakr, no problem and thank you. I look forward to tuning into the video request.
Lo and behold! I just cut banana peeling and soak it in water to water tomorrow. I have a problem with my arum lilies.
Thank u Soo much it's vry useful vidio ur information is 💯 correct
Hi Hussna ara, Thank you so much. ☺
What do you know of orange peel tea fertilizer? Also Thank you . I was thinking about trying banana peel tea for the first time.
Excellent advice. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Is it ok to make banana tea with dried peels?
yes
I'm about to lose my cucumber plant using this fertilizer😣 it developed fungi and lot of ants.
I also learnt this after my plants got infected with fungus gnats. Thatswhy did my research and thought to share it with everyone. I am glad the video was helpful to you.🙏🙂
If not banana peels, what natural fertilizer do you recommend ! I myself hate banana peels, but what do you recommend ! Something clean like lemon peels , how about it?
You can use Manure, compost, worm castings, seaweed solution instead of Banana Tea.
Worm castings in a stocking put on a bucket and bubble for a couple of days or so...that works
I been using lemon and lime cut moon 🌙 size after I squeeze all the juices out. Then I place the lemons 🍋 and limes 🌙 in a plants on top so far so good. Just wondering what do u think? I tried the remedy of baking soda/water/soap dish/oil/ spray on my leaves 🍃 and it burned 🔥 all garden 🪴 leaves. Now my plants looks naked just the stick tree /or bushes without leaves 😡😭😡 Does NOT work at all. Be aware of this recipe. Let me know what I did wrong I did exactly what he said on the video
Hi Maria, Baking soda and dishwash liquid can be very harsh on the delicate leaves if not used in proper concentration. Always do a patch test on one leaf before using it for the whole plant. If you see that the leaf wilts or gets burnt, then dilute it more and do the patch test on another leaf again to check whether the concentration is correct. I think the solution you made was too strong which burnt all the leaves of your plants.
Regarding the lemon or lime cut pieces, I would always recommend to throw them in the compost and let them decompose before it is actually bioavailable for the plants. Your plants might not be facing any problem now but in long run they might get slowly affected. It takes months for the minerals from the food scraps to reach the stage where it can actually be absorbed by the plant roots. So burying them in soil is not going to benefit the plants.
I came across banana tea when looking for easy extractable natural sources of iron. Would you recommend using banana for as iron supplement in early life plant stages? in which form, raw/dried? Or would you recommend looking somewhere else?
Hi there, dried powdered banana peels can be helpful. Compost or manure or worm casting are also beneficial. Blood and bone meal or Alfa alfa meal can also be used.
How much iron contains dried banana peels?
Any forms of fertilizer (chemical or organic) will produce acidity while being decomposed by bacteria. That's why you need to add calcium or baking soda into your soil; especially, when yoi add fertiizer in order to balance out the PH of the soil. Even when you put too much in-orgsnic fertilizzer will result with fungus nats, which is the sign that your soil is too acidic.
Thankyou for sharing your information , i have already prepared banana peel tea but i think i will change my plan
I've just prepared some too 🤦🏼♀️
Is it good or not??? Hope I didn't kill my weed plant's 😮

Hi. Can I make compost with only banana peel and dried leaves.
Hi Sarina, Yes you can... Thank you so much for watching.😊
You are so right. I used it and my tomatoes are dying. I don't know what to do now
Hi Marie, Either rinse the soil well with water or repot your plant in fresh soil and fresh pot. I think that will help and the plant will recover. You can also check the roots for any signs of root rot.
Now I know why my beef steak tomatoes died. Thank you.
Madam whats ur opinion on Subash Palekar jeevamruth
Hi there, Fermentation causes the extraction of essential nutrients from the organic matter like fruits or leaves etc. using the beneficial bacteria to act on them. Just like FFJ fertilizers. Subhash Palekar Jeevamruth is also based on fermentation of ingredients that is added in the solution. The liquid fertilizer obtained from this method is highly nutritious and concentrated which must be diluted properly and used as a fertilizer for plants. Whereas the banana liquid made by soaking some banana peels in water does not contain anything other than sweet water with a combination of good/bad bacteria.
Please stay tuned for my upcoming video on FFJ fertilizers where I have mentioned more about them.
When banana peels decompose, does the potassium level increase?
So,shall i boil banana lwaces and give that water,sir. Thank God,i have collected 10 peels and was ready to apply raw
So wat is suggested that can be helpful instead of the banana,?
Oh God i have already gave the liquid fertilizer to my plants, do i again water the soil thoroughly?
👍Very informative,thanks 😊
Thank you so much.. 😊
I dont need a like , drying the peels and grounding then i to a powder is the best way to use them as a slow realse fertilizer
I've been applying banana peel fermented as watering and spray, it works great with my plants and vegies. I don't think so, this video make sense....
Thanks for your advice about banana tea,can I you are question here,Ok can you tell me more about Homemade fish liquid fertilizer,any harmful about it,thanks hearing from you

Is it alright to use banana peelings in compost?
Yes, You can throw your banana peels in the compost.
Straight to the point.ty

Mam, could you please explain me ripen Banana be used for the fertilizer, what is the process n effect using complete ripen Banana.
Hi Lakshmi, You can either put your ripen banana peels in the compost bin or you can dry the peels in the sun and then powder them and use in your garden.

Nice information.thanks madam
Welcome :-)
Thank you for sharing this idea

I have no idea. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
Thank you for this information.
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.🙂
just as I thought. beside making banana tea must smell bad just by looking at it anyway. I always keep regrowing onion and garlic. I been trying to find ways to get them to last longer and actually regrow. the best I get was the leafs for 2 or 3 months than just day. my record was 5 months and I almost made a new onion. but my mistake was giving to much water. because the dirt seemed dry when I try to stick my finger in it. but hey I learn and I'm making real good progress. I'm a type that learn on my own. than I check on the net and neighbors to make a comparison.
So you're saying this just isn't good on its own? I use fermented rice water and fermented potato water but those are high enough K for peppers. I also use bone meal and worm castings for supplements. If you haven't tried the fermented rice water i suggest it. Great microbes and balanced NPK. My leaves the next day are a lush green
The fermentation also keeps pests away. They don't like the alcohol created. And it's a wonderful seed starter. I think with all this, banana tea and dried ground banana for a slow release should be fine.
It is a very interesting video that convinced me to use banana peels powder and not banana tea. What's more, what you didn't mention, banana fertilizer increases the pH of the soil (de-acidifies it), so you can't use it for watering plants that like acidic soil, e.g. aglaonema or blueberry. Nobody says it out.
I heard it only once in a video, made by a Polish gardening store, which explained exactly why you shouldn't water blueberries with banana fertilizer.
Hi Barbara, Thank you so much. 🙂🙏
Valuable information. I've heard about using allo vera to make fertilizer,there is one where Neem leaves are used any information on these.
what other fruits in replace to banana peels that are good t use?
Hi Alberto, you can use Potatoes, Beets, Prunes. These are also rich in Potassium.. Compost is the best way to use veggie scraps for garden. Nutrients get easily absorbed by the plants. Also it does not attract any harmful bacteria and fungus.
@@Homemakr Hi, do you mean the peels of the potato and beetroot peels or leaves, or the whole thing like whole potato cut into bits?
Also can we make tea with the peels of potato and beetroot by soaking in water for few days?
Thanks
Would please suggest how to get rid of gnats? I have so many in my house - I tried spraying with neem oil, soap, & water but it doesn’t work.
Diatomaceous Earth works best for Fungus gnats. I got rid of them from my plants. Just spray it or sprinkle it on top of the soil and also on your pot saucer. Check out my video on Diatomaceous Earth.
@@Homemakr thanks
