    I like to add a tablespoon of epsom salt to the hole or pot before putting in my plants. It adds magnesium to the soil, which is great for the plants.

    I use them on my orchids along with the fertilizer about once a month. I use a sprayer to apply.

    I use it for blooming plants. I had geraniums freeze, cut off all the black and in no time, New green exploded but no flowers! Local nursery told my to use equal amounts of miracle grow & Epsom salt & in 3 days it was covered w/new blooms. I was very impressed!
