Durian peel as fertilizer

Durian peel can be used as fertilizer, but it cannot be used directly. The peel can only be used as fertilizer after fermentation. You can cut the durian peel into small pieces and mix it with coconut bran, leaf mold, etc. to plant flowers.

If durian peel is used as fertilizer, it is more suitable for acid-loving plants, such as jasmine, Milan, gardenia, Davidia involucrata, Camellia chrysantha, orchid, etc.

How to make fertilizer from durian peel

1. Prepare materials: Collect the durian peels, cut them into small pieces with scissors, and then put them together with rice washing water in a clean plastic bottle. Expose them to the sun and the fermentation will be completed in about a month.

2. Watering the plants: Dilute the fermented durian peel solution and clean water in a ratio of 1:50, and then you can water the flowers. This can supplement elements such as phosphorus and calcium for the plants and promote the growth of flower buds.

Key points for using durian peel fertilizer

In addition to watering the flowers, you can also put the durian peel in the sun to dry, wait until the moisture inside is fully evaporated, and then place it at the bottom of the pot when repotting the plant. This will make the soil more loose and breathable, and prevent the plant from root rot.
