If you’re a plant lover, you know that plants need fertilizer to grow and bloom beautifully. However, many commercial fertilizers are packed with harsh chemicals that can harm both your plants and the environment. Luckily, making your own organic plant fertilizer is easy and affordable.

@golovethis_hotit shared 5 DIY fertilizers that your plants will thank you for!

1. Soaking soybeans in water is a great natural fertilizer that can help your plants thrive. This organic fertilizer contains a high level of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, which are essential nutrients that are crucial for plant growth and development. Nitrogen also promotes chlorophyll production.
2. Soaking banana peels in water creates a fertilizer rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, which helps plants to bloom.
3. Similarly, fermented rice water contains a variety of nutrients that are beneficial for plant growth, including nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus which help strengthen roots and prevent root rot.
4. Orange peels soaked in water acts as a natural and effective pest repellent, particularly against flies due to the high acidity and limonene content (a naturally occurring compound in oranges).
5. Lastly, fermented rice water is nutrient-rich that contains beneficial microorganisms that will help keep your plants looking shiny.
