Banana water might work best on plants that are hardy and benefit from a bit of extra potassium, as well as larger plants that can handle occasional nutrient boosts. Here are some plants that are good candidates for trying banana water: ### 1. MONSTERAS Monsteras are resilient, large plants that often benefit from a little extra nutrition. Banana water could help them develop stronger stems and larger leaves. ### 2. PHILODENDRONS Known for their hardiness, philodendrons could use the potassium from banana water to support their leafy growth. ### 3. SNAKE PLANTS (Sansevieria) Snake plants are tolerant of a variety of conditions and are generally resilient to mild fertilizers. Banana water in small doses can support their root and leaf development. ### 4. FIDDLE LEAF FIG Fiddle leaf figs can be sensitive, but they do appreciate extra potassium for healthy leaf development. Use banana water sparingly on them to avoid over-fertilizing. ### 5. POTHOS Pothos are fast-growing and hardy, making them good candidates for banana water if you’re looking to encourage lush, healthy growth. ### 6. PEACE LILIES These flowering plants can benefit from the boost in potassium, as it supports flower production. Banana water can be a gentle supplement for these plants. ✨ FREEBIES ✨ Simple Tips for Pest-Free Plants (12pg Booklet!) ⇢ 👉 https://leafylovin.kit.com/bugs_be_gone How to Avoid Overwatering Guide ⇢ 👉 https://leafylovin.kit.com/35b2969ab9 🌱 PLANT CARE ESSENTIALS 🌱 ⇢ GT Foliage Focus: (AU) https://amzn.to/3UAGBH5 / (US) https://amzn.to/3Xdsytw ⇢ Dr Bronner Castile Soap: (AU) https://amzn.to/3S6vm8W / (US) https://amzn.to/4dE7uCf ⇢ Plant Water Meter: (AU) https://a.co/d/ix7yv8V / (US) https://amzn.to/3KL2NtE ⇢ Soil Scoops: (AU) https://amzn.to/3WfCp0x / (US) https://amzn.to/3WarMv 😫 OVERWHELMED BY PLANT CARE? 😫 Whether you're facing one or multiple plant care challenges, Iet me help!
