Brilio.net - From leaves to fruit, almost all parts of the banana tree can be utilized. Bananas are often processed into everyday food by Indonesian people. Therefore, it is not surprising that this fruit is often planted in the yard.
Like other plants, banana trees also require good care in order to thrive. One way to care for banana trees is by fertilizing them regularly.
No need to buy fertilizer in the market, fertilizer for banana trees can be made from ingredients available at home. Some people even deliberately water their banana trees with rice washing water. According to agritech.tnau.ac.id, this kitchen dregs contains nutrients in the form of macro and micro nutrients that can be used as nutrients for banana trees.
However, there is no need to worry if you do not have a stock of rice washing water at home, because there are other ingredients that can be used as natural fertilizer for banana trees. This method was once demonstrated by YouTube user 4BRC Channel. According to him, this fertilizer makes banana trees grow well and produce large fruits.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube 4BRC Channel on Sunday (10/11), the natural fertilizer used comes from kitchen spices, in the form of salt. The salt used is free, it can be fine or coarse.

The application method is also fairly practical and easy to imitate. Without the need to dissolve it in water, directly sprinkle salt on banana trees that have not yet borne fruit.
"You don't need a lot, just around the banana tree. Its use can fertilize the plants and it also neutralizes toxins in the soil such as chemicals that are not needed by banana trees," he explained further.

For maximum results, this fertilization process can be done routinely. Not every day, but enough once every three months.
"If the dosage is right, the banana tree will be free from various diseases and the fruit produced will also be large," he explained.
Reported from philstar.com, salt can cause banana trees to produce more and sweeter fruits. Just wait about 1-2 months after watering the fertilizer, the bananas are ready to be harvested.
