After reading about banana peels helping roses, wonder what effect they would have on houseplants - would they have an adverse reaction to the plant? Thanking in advance for any help.

Banana trees in the wild digest the rotted fruit and the potassium helps the trees produce more fruit. If you have a potted banana tree in your home, it is a good idea to feed it in this way every once in a while. I don't know if this applies to all house plants but potassium is contained in plant food.

I heard that it adds potassium to the leaves when you use it to clean the leaves, I am not sure if this true

I pureed a banana peel in 4 cups water and put a bit on several different houseplants. So far, I've had no adverse affects. I did use an organic peel so I can't comment on one that has the fungicides and mold-retardants on it.
