I was at the local farmers market picking up some creeping petunias for my patio pots. Icommented on how some of the plants looked a little yellow in the center. The lady told me to drop 2 Tbs. Epsom Salts on top and water and that should green them right up. I did what she said and it worked.
It turns out this little trick is a little garden secret used around the world. It works because Epsom Salts are made up of magnesium sulfate, two elements crucial to plant growth. Magnesium is the element that is generally lacking from our soil plays a role in
strengthening the plant cell walls, allowing the plant to take in the nutrients it needs.
This trick is a simple solution to keeping your plants green and is cheap as well as readily available.
Next time your plants look a little pale, just drop 2 Tbs of Epsom Salt in to the container and water.
