When you think of Epsom salt, you probably assume it’s for a home remedy. However, humans aren’t the only things Epsom salt can help. Our plant friends can also benefit from the magnesium the salt has. For under $10, you can score a seven-pound bag of Pennington Epsom Salt at Home Depot.
The magnesium in Epsom salt helps seed germination, nutrient absorption, and chlorophyll production. Dilute two teaspoons of Epsom salt in a gallon of water. Pour the mix into a spray bottle, and mist plants once a month. This gardening hack works especially well on roses and vegetables.
