Tips for using banana water on plants
Before using banana water on your plants, you should keep in mind the following tips:
Use banana water as a supplement to regular watering, not as the sole source of water for your plants.
Do not use banana water on plants that are sensitive to high levels of potassium. Bananas are high in potassium, and using banana water excessively can lead to potassium toxicity in your plants.
Use banana water on plants that are actively growing, as they will need more nutrients to support their growth than dormant plants.
Only use fresh banana water for watering plants. Do not store it for an extended period as it can spoil and cause harm to your plants.
