The banana peel acts as an excellent fertilizer, but it has one more excellent gardening use—you can use it to hold thorny cactus as it will save your hand!
Use it to hold the cactus pads and stems while working with them. The peel will save your fingers and works better than gloves.
This method is quite effective for grafting moon cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii). Cut the top of the cactus with a clean, sharp knife. Now cut the cactus you want to graft and adjoin it on the top of the first cactus.
Line them both perfectly, and using the help of a rubber band, bond them securely in place. You can also use a long rubber band to secure the grafted top with the pot’s base to ensure it stays in place. It will grow and become one in a few weeks.
Fill a tray with water and place corns into it—in a few days, you will see green leaves sprouting from the midst of golden seeds.
At this stage, remove the whole corn from the water and plant it in a container, covering it entirely with soil except for the green leaves above.
Cut the entire banana from the middle, scoop out its seeds with the help of a spoon. Lay the seeds on a paper towel and place them on the soil. Gently mist and cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Soon they will sprout, remove them carefully without damaging the fragile roots and grow them in individual pots.
Take some moss with soil in a blender, add one cup of milk or buttermilk, blend to make a thick paste and spread it on a wooden frame with a spatula. In few days, the frame will be filled with moss! Hang the framed moss on the wall and mist gently.
