Kitchen Waste as Fertilizer: What's a Boon, What's a Threat for Your Plants?

• Not all kitchen waste is suitable as fertilizer; different plants have specific nutritional needs.
• Flowering plants like roses thrive on phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers; old tea leaves enhance rose blooms.
• Leafy plants such as Money Plant require nitrogen for lush greenery; liquid fertilizers or dissolved vermicompost are ideal.
• Fruit and vegetable plants need balanced nutrition and pest protection; neem cake and compost are beneficial, Epsom salt helps lemon fruit retention.
• Eggshells (powdered), dry banana peels, and pulse/rice water are excellent, but proper application is crucial to avoid issues like fungus or pests.
