"Banana peels don't mean much to humans, but they're the perfect item to help your roses bloom. Just like bananas offer up plenty of nutrients for people, the peels have all the right components to ensure that roses grow beautifully. The potassium-rich ingredient keeps roses strong and produces strong stems. The flowers require potassium to stave off diseases, so you can ensure that any pesky pests won't become a thorn in your rose bush's side."
"In order to reap all the benefits of banana peels, simply chop them up and add them to your compost pile ( this guide to at-home composting may help) or just put them a few inches into the soil. Banana peels can take a few weeks, or even months, to decompose, so composting them is the best choice. The humid environment in the compost pile will make the peels break down faster, so the roses can access the nutrients sooner rather than later."
Banana peels supply potassium and magnesium that support rose health by strengthening stems, improving bud development, and maintaining foliage color. Potassium helps roses resist disease and reduces pest problems. Magnesium fortifies cell walls to improve nutrient absorption and enhances soil quality. To use peels, chop them and add them to a compost pile or bury them a few inches in the soil. Peels decompose slowly and may take weeks or months, so composting in a humid pile accelerates breakdown and makes nutrients available sooner. Roses benefit from fertilization every three to four weeks, and peels can be added on that schedule. Alternatives include blending dried peels into powder or brewing banana peel tea.
