9 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Epsom Salt on Plants

Applying too much Epsom salt can lead to nutrient imbalances and damage to the plant.

Always test your soil before applying Epsom salt to ensure magnesium is what’s needed.

Some soils already have sufficient magnesium, and adding more may cause harm.

Some plants thrive in acidic soil and may not respond well to the added magnesium from Epsom salt.

Not all plants benefit from Epsom salt; only use it where there’s a clear magnesium deficiency.

Too much water can wash away the benefits of Epsom salt before the plant can absorb it.

Epsom salt should complement a balanced fertilizer, not replace it.

Always follow dosage recommendations for Epsom salt to avoid damaging your plants.
