Donna Marie P on Jul 14, 2014My suggestion is to use Epsom Salts ... That's what I use and it works pretty well. Make sure you have plenty of dirt way up the stem of the plant and that it is tied/caged to stand comfortably - mix a few spoons of epsom salts in a large watering can and mix to dissolve - water them with that .. use it a couple times a week for a couple weeks and they should be okHelpful Reply
