Another Re-Bloomer and Banana Water


Another amaryllis from a Christmas past! This is a lovely deep rose.


I don't know for sure but this unexpected bloom may be due to banana water. I've been putting banana peels in a gallon jug of water then. after they're rotting and the water is quite disgusting, I pour the potassium-rich liquid onto various pot plants. The amaryllis were some of the first recipients of this homemade fertilizer.

I needed to experiment further . . .

I guess it like banana water, although I would rather not. 😊

Great experiment there...looking forward to the next results. I don't have a gallon jug that has a tight lid so I could avoid smelling the goo of rotting banana peels.

Ooh, interesting experiment. Let us know how it progresses. I might think of doing the same.

Wondering why banana water would be so good for them.
