Always conduct a soil test to determine if your plants are deficient in magnesium before applying Epsom salt.
Begin by adding small doses of Epsom salt and gradually increase if you see improvements.
Spraying leaves with an Epsom salt solution delivers nutrients more quickly than soil application.
Mixing Epsom salt into compost ensures a steady release of nutrients over time.
Add Epsom salt when transplanting seedlings to give them a nutrient boost and prevent shock.
Combining Epsom salt with other fertilizers helps plants absorb a broader range of nutrients.
Many houseplants benefit from the added magnesium, especially in winter when sunlight is limited.
Watering too much can wash the Epsom salt away before the plants have a chance to absorb it.
