Epsom Salt for Plants - Magnesium Deficiency in Plants In this video, I will show you how I use Epsom salt in my organic vegetable garden, how I apply it to my tomato and pepper plants, and the signs of magnesium deficiency in plants. Because it is so hot here in the summer and I'm concerned that I might burn the leaves of my plants by spraying them, normally, I would water the tomatoes and peppers in my vegetable garden with solution of 1 tbsp of Epsom salt deluded in 1 gallon of water. However, the weather here got a bit cooler and because my tomato and pepper plants are showing signs of magnesium deficiency, I decided to spry the leaves. The principle is the same as watering them - 1 tbsp of Epsom salt deluded in 1 gallon of water.

If the bottom (older) leaves of your plants start to turn yellow but the vanes are still dark green 2. The edges of the leaves are yellowing and the insight or the center is still green. I also spray my hibiscus with Epsom salt solution to assure bigger and brighter blooms. You can also use Epsom salt on your roses. *UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ARTICLE: Guide to Symptoms of Plant Nutrient Deficiencies http://extension.arizona.edu/sites/extension.arizona.edu/files/pubs/az1106.pdf ** PLANT NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES WITH PHOTOS: http://www.organicagardensupply.com/disease-pests/plant-nutrient-deficiencies-with-photos/ ***LISA'S RECIPE: July 4th Treats, Snacks, Home Decor, Table Centerpiece and Hostess Gifts - https://youtu.be/yDzyDie626Y I hope you find this video helpful and if you have any questions on how I use Epsom salt in my vegetable garden, please post them in the comment section and I will answer them.
