Epsom salt for plants
  • Epsom salt to improve nutrient absorption
  • Magnesium sulfate improves the ability  of cells to absorb minerals from the soil that are beneficial for  their proper growth, such as nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus. This natural nutrient also helps plants better absorb chlorophyll, a plant pigment that makes up  plants and allows them to better capture light. And that’s not all. Epsom salt also helps strengthen plant roots and speed up plant regeneration.   As a result, plants become stronger and more vigorous.  You can also use Epsom salt as a natural fertilizer, especially in soils low in sulfur and magnesium. For this, it is enough to sprinkle a cup of this natural product on each 10m 2 plot . Turn the soil well before planting or sowing your plants. Upon contact with water, Epsom salt releases sulfate and magnesium  which will then be absorbed by plants.
