Epsom Salt, A Great Magnesium Solution


If it's magnesium they want, it's magnesium they'll get!  A good solution to adding magnesium to plants that need it is an easy-to-make-at-home liquid solution that consists of water and epsom salt, in a spray bottle mix 1tsp of epsom salt for every 1qt. of water, yes, it's that easy.  Lack of magnesium can result in stunted growth and can be spotted when mature (older) leaves of plants are turning yellow while their veins continuously stay dark green, when this occurs spray this magnesium solution straight into the soil or even on the leaves of the plant.  Another great way to use this magnesium solution is to spray it onto plants that are having a hard time fruiting, simply give the blooms a spritz.  But be careful not to be too heavy-handed with the magnesium, an over-dose on magnesium can prohibit the plant from taking in other much needed nutrients, so use sparingly.
