It was super easy to cook up his recipe, taking only ten seconds, but the effects on your plants will last a whole lot longer he said.

Armen Adamjan (@creative_explained) was an enthusiastic and passionate promoter of his plant food idea.

He is enormously popular on TikTok where his “hacks, tips, tricks," have attracted a following of 6.2 million and another 97.3 million likes.

One fan summed up the view of many on Armen's platform: “You are the most awesome plant dude," he wrote.

In this post, he was extolling the virtues of banana water and couldn't wait to convince his audience of its benefits.

"I’ve got to bring it back," he said urging viewers to keep those banana skins.

Don't throw them in the bin, he begged, because he had better use of them.

Instead, he suggested putting them in a cup, adding some hot water, and letting it sit like that for one hour.

Armen explained the inner workings of banana water: “What’s happening right now is the water is getting nutrified."

He wasn't even sure if that was a word, but he was going to use it anyway.

“Potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are being released into the water," he said in his usual energetic delivery.

“In simple words, these are things that plants need to flourish, and grow healthier and stronger," he said of his special brew.

“Feed your plants this simple homemade fertilizer once a week and your plants will love you," he promised.

“Make this a habit, part of your everyday routine. I mean it only takes about ten more seconds than just throwing it out."

It was a win-win all around with his magic banana water, according to Armen: “Reduce food waste and keep your plants happy," he said.

Commenters loved his simple idea.

“Being so holistic looks so hot," gushed one fan.
