Does banana pills do good for house plants? why?

yes any decaying vegetable or fruit will make the soil more fertile for plants.



but, make sure you eat the fruit part of the banana before you put the peel near the plant, because bananas will excrete Ethylene which will promote any fruit ripening, but also prevents flowering of plants. this chemical also promotes abscission which means the plant will start dropping its leaves, fruits, flowers, or seeds.



but like I said, as long as you eat the banana itself before you put the peel by the plant, its all good.

Does banana pills do good for house plants? why?
never heard of banana pills but banana peels are good for some plants they provide potassium, i personally put them in my stag horn ferns keeps them green and happy.
Reply:I'm guessing at this, but bananas are high in potassium, which help retain water. I know this because livestock are given potassium injections so that they can retain the water Therefore, the pills would help the plants retain water
Reply:peels contain nutrients the plant can use. Works as a fertilizer.
