Introduction
The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is a beloved houseplant known for its elegant white blooms and air-purifying qualities. While it’s relatively easy to care for, many struggle to keep it blooming consistently. The secret? A natural, often-overlooked ingredient that can extend its blooming cycle for up to a decade! In this guide, we’ll reveal this special ingredient, how to use it effectively, and additional tips to keep your Peace Lily thriving year after year.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of banana peel fertilizer (dried and powdered)
1 teaspoon of Epsom salt
1 cup of rice water (from rinsed or boiled rice)
1 liter of room-temperature water
Directions:
Prepare the Fertilizer Mix:
Dry banana peels and grind them into a fine powder.
Mix the banana powder with Epsom salt in a bowl.
Make the Nutrient Solution:
Take 1 cup of rice water and dilute it with 1 liter of room-temperature water.
Stir in the banana peel powder and Epsom salt mixture until fully dissolved.
Apply to the Peace Lily:
Water your Peace Lily with this solution once every two weeks.
Avoid overwatering—Peace Lilies prefer slightly moist soil but not soggy conditions.
Provide Proper Care:
Place the plant in bright, indirect sunlight.
Maintain humidity levels by misting the leaves occasionally.
Remove any yellow or dead leaves to encourage healthy growth.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store the prepared fertilizer solution in a sealed bottle and use it within a month.
Keep banana peel powder in an airtight container to maintain its nutrients.
Always use fresh rice water—avoid storing it for too long, as it can ferment.
