Experimenting with banana peel water for propagation

Doing some #ScienceWithGreg and using banana peel water in my #PropagationStation. I let the banana peels sit in jars for a few days with freshwater. Then poured them directly into my propagation tubes. Iโ€™m using a fresh cutting of #StringOfDolphins and #ChineseMoneyPlant to hopefully be able to share at @jaysjungleโ€™s meet up on the 17th! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #sharingiscaring #NorthTexasGregGang
Interesting propagation expirement! Can't wait to meet you and your plants in a couple weeks!
@RavenBlair2022 very interesting. Keep us updated.
I used the banana water before and the rice water. Both were great. I use them whenever I can. After I throw the peel in my compost bin.
I've heard of this before! Isn't it compost tea or banana tea?
I saw someone in one of my groups do this and the banana water really helped out. Of course that was only one experiment. I canโ€™t wait to see your outcome!
@JungleLady505 Iโ€™m excited to see how it goes. I did the rice water once but wasnโ€™t consistent with it. I feel the bananas I can do more often because my little one eats bananas for breakfast. So I just throw the peel in a jar and keep it. @sarahsalith to be honest, Iโ€™m not 100% sure. Iโ€™m going to do a little more research. I was trying to find something different to use that I had around the house instead of plain water. Iโ€™ve been reading a lot about pathos water but I just got my first pathos yesterday. I donโ€™t have enough to propagate that yet. @PlantsRTherapy thank you for being excited with me. Iโ€™ll for sure keep yโ€™all posted.
Very interesting! Please keep us updated.....very curious how this goes! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
Let us know how it goes! Banana peels worked wonders for my veggie garden, but then stopped as I could not afford Bananas ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Good luck! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’ง
This guy here is a slurry making machine!
So, u just soak the banana peel in a jar of water for a few (2 or 3) days and then after use that water in your prop cups .. and then just add your clippings?
. interesting I have never heard of this before.

Are y able to include me in ur updates? I want to know if u should try this as well or not

Thank you
