As much as we love trying new things and experimenting, we have found that sometimes the old favourites are the best! We have been using Epsom Salt on our plants for many years. A dose of Epsom Salt – magnesium sulphate – can give your plants a nice healthy boost if they seem a little down.
The magnesium is used for chlorophyll production, strengthening plant cell walls and most importantly increases the uptake of key nutritional elements. The sulphur enables the plants to produce essential vitamins, proteins and hormones, and it also helps to produce flavour when growing vegetables. It’s immediately available to the plant, so when you water it into the roots or spray it onto the leaves, you’ll see the results quickly. Give it a go next time your plants seem a little down.
