Keeping plants indoors can be an enjoyable experience. Not only are they pleasant to look at, but many houseplants, like the snake plant, peace lily, and golden pothos, also improve air quality.

Looking for an affordable and efficient way to keep your plants healthy?

Consider creating your own nutrient-rich fertilizer via composting. Surprisingly, there's a simple and cost-effective method to do this: compost tea.

Here's how to make compost tea using the following ingredients: banana peels, onion skins, eggshells, coffee grounds

Instructions:
• Combine all ingredients in a glass jar or pitcher.
• When the jar is full of compost material, top it off with water.
• Let the mixture steep for 3 to 5 days.
• After steeping, strain the liquid and water your plants using a 1:4 ratio of one part compost tea to four parts water.
• Puree the remaining scraps with water to create a compost smoothie and fertilize your plants with it as well.

Compost tea is like a multivitamin for your plants. It enhances soil health and bolsters their immune systems, helping them ward off pests, diseases and of course reduce your kitchen waste.

Give it a try and watch your lovely plants flourish.
