Chop the banana peel into small pieces to help release nutrients more effectively.
Measure out the Epsom salt, fish emulsion, and seaweed extract.
Mix the Fertilizer:
In a large container or watering can, add 1 liter of water. Dissolve the Epsom salt into the water first.
Add the Banana Peel and Optional Ingredients:
Add the chopped banana peel to the water. If you have fish emulsion or liquid seaweed extract, add a few drops of each to enhance the fertilizer's nutrient content.
Let It Steep:
Let the mixture sit for 24 hours, allowing the nutrients from the banana peel and other ingredients to infuse into the water.
Strain and Use:
After 24 hours, strain out the solids (banana peel bits). Use the liquid to water your orchids once every two weeks, or once a month for maintenance.
