Wow!
Our plants live a hard life.
They’re either not loved enough or loved too much.
We watch them start to wilt, they look sad, tired and we just want to hug them back to life.
But you can turn that frown upside down because The Pantry Mama has a hack to bring your dying plant back to life.
Best of all – it’s simple, it’s cheap and it’s in your fruit bowl.
Taking to her popular Facebook group, The Pantry Mama, blogger Kate Freebairn revealed all you need is the skin of a banana and a jug of water to see your indoor plant thrive again.
“Here’s an easy way to give them a boost,” she began the post.
“Pop a banana skin in a jar of water. Leave for 24 hours and then feed water to your plants.
“My plants are so lush and green (as a result).”
The clever hack has pulled in hundreds of comments from fellow distressed plant owners.
Many asked Kate how often she does the hack – to which Freebairn suggested “every few weeks”.
“I have over 50 plants and so I just make a batch every time someone eats a banana, and then pop the water into whichever plant needs a drink,” she said.
The banana skin is filled with nutrients and works as a natural fertiliser for plants.
