I'm late seeing this, but I thought you might be interested to know that the reason Magnesium greens plants up is that the Mg is the central element in Chlorophyll's structure. Plants can't produce chlorophyll without it! BTW, I'm a botanist. :)
Gonna try this, All my plants, both in the ground and in pots are all yellowing, some drying out brown, but ALL the leaves are slowly dropping off. All I get from most tips is, over watering or under watering, I've done neither. Now comes you're tip, I've watered them all with Epsome Salts, I'll spray all the remaining leaves tommorrow and wait and see, It's spring now so hopefully we see new GREEN leaves. I'll let you know the results later this year. Thanks for the tip
I will attest to the fact that Epsom salt works, your plants will LOVE it! I refrained from using it last year and I could tell a massive difference. The year before, my plants were so lush snd green. I merely added 2 Tbs to 1 gal. Water weekly
@@operationengineerhpschashm2466 I'm just starting to use e/s around the plant. I spray the foliage with a mixture of a drop of dish soap, a drop of peroxide, a dash of baking soda, a splash of Vinagre, and a drop of vegetable oil. This mix hasn't killed my plants yet, nor have anything else. I'm sticking to what I know.
Just grab a bag of maxibloom from general hydroponics. It's cheap n will provide everything the plant needs without issue unless your using coco, then u must add 2ml to a liter of water extra cause the Coco sucks the mag out
All of your videos are complete game changers and very informative. For the first time in years, I live in a place where I can have a proper garden. We just got a bunch of raised beds and grow bags and we have several fruit trees. Your videos have been very helpful throughout the process. Thank you for doing what you do.
It's also superb for creating blossom end-rot in tomatoes since it can make the calcium unavailable that prevents that condition! Use with care. Like anything else, its use needs to be based principally on a soil test that shows that Mg and sulfur are lacking. Otherwise, it will just be competing with calcium. That's the actual soil science. (Foliar-only feeding can help reduce the effect in the soil but doesn't eliminate it.)
I Love your gardening videos!!!!!! Very informative!!!!!! Concise, clear, communication - to the point!!!!!!Very interesting !!!!!My favorite channel!!!💖💖💖🌈🌈🌈🌈💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🌈💖💖
Great on roses -granular around base and watered in; happy Japanese yew, forsythia w granular in water applied to root zone, hand misted on newish weigelia and fine.
Yes, I use it all the time, and I have a lot of potted plants, but the success story is a very big and old Jade plant that hadn't blossomed in 3 years, until I gave it some Epsom Salts in my one gallon jug of water ..... I had been taking monthly pictures of that old Jade, so I had some good pictures to compare....
Thankyou for that information, truly needed to hear this. I'm from India and I love roses and I plant a lot of them. So I appreciate what I leart from you today
Hi love your channel, have learned so much. Yes, I use Epsom Salts and the results were amazing! I bought bulbs, daffodils, tulips and Hyacinths. Planted very late fall and some of the bulbs looked Withered , but this spring my plants were strong and colors were vibrant.
You have such a beautiful garden!!!! So inspiring! Just a note: the sulfur in epsom salts will make your hot peppers hotter! Which is either fun or scary depending on what you like!
I love using Epsom salt in the garden. I think it really helps the plants thrive and intensifies the flavors of the produce especially, tomatoes, melons, and hot peppers.
peppers are very magnesium hungry! yes... 1 tbsp at planting, dose at first flower stage and once after you harvest your peppers for the first harvest to reboot them to produce their second crop!!! happy gardening
@@MobileAura Alert alert!!! ok you still have time its still very early in the season. a weak plant sounds like your lacking nitrogen. if your not a vegan i suggest blood meal, 1 tbsp per gallon, shake....wait.... shake again then soil drench. Perk them babies back into action! im growing anaheim (mild) and golden cayenne (semi spicy) they are mainstays in my garden each and every yr. good luck
I bought a beautiful potted gardenia plant at a nice nursery. Now it's getting brown and looking so sick. I'm hoping this tip will help. Thanks so much for getting right to the point and giving me hope..
I've noticed with bareroot trees you have to water a lot in the beginning. Typically the sulphur gets flushed out and Epsom salt helps a lot. Some of the bareroots sent via the mail are extremely pathetic and need extra care to get them going the first year, fish emulsion also has helped a lot.
While i Havent exactly used Epsom salt i have used othe cal/mag supplements quite extensively on my cannabis When i was a kid i remember my mom would usually in the spring sprinkle Epsom salt throughout the garden and the plant s always seemed to be a fair bit happier
Yes i know , I've been using epsom salt for my plant, they're happy with that.... The way I use it , i put 1 tbsp Epsom salt in the hole When transplanting..and water it very well...that is sure successful . I mix 1 cup of Epsom salt to water my plant....at least every 2 weeks.
About 8 years ago I tossed three or four handfulls of epsom salt on the dead patch of my lawn. St. Augustine grass never grew back so fast and so thick!
I use Epsom salts all the time. Definitely going to try the liquid. I usually sprinkle around the root zone. But I have noticed a sickly looking plant come to life pretty quickly after applying. Thanks! Another great video!
Been using it for years toss a handful in the bottom of the hole of my tomato plants and swish, similarly a handful of egg shells in there with the Epsom salts add a little calcium to the soil.
I've used Epsom salt before, most notably on a mango tree whose leaves get yellowed on the stem, all over the tree. It was successful in turning the leaves green again. I used it around the base, just sprinkling according to instructions of one teaspoon per foot of height of the plant. We were supposed to get three days of rain a couple of days ago, so I sprinkled it around all the plants/trees in the yard. I need to get some more, because I ran out. Yes, it works. But I never figured out how to foliar spray the underside of leaves very well. I just do that on the top of the leaves.
i use it 2 ways in tea form in my compost to help it break down faster and sprayer seed and seedlings when transplanted. ill have to try the germination method u mentioned thanks
Very well presented and explained. Thank you. Had just ordered some Epsom salts from Amazon but then read it was a myth so felt dubious but you have encouraged me again and gave good measurements. Gill.
I used Epson salts as an amendment to my soil around my tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. The plants were stronger and more beautiful; but, on the downside, the skin of the fruit was thicker.
Been using cal mag. I'm gonna try the salt. My water has plenty of calcium. Hoping this is the trick. Thought it was nitrogen i was lacking but the plant didn't react. I'm pretty sure this is the answer I was looking for. Will let you know in a week. Thanks for the video
@@catherinegrace2366 doh! dont fret tho, it still makes for a wonderous bathe or foot soak! (: imo i wouldnt use on edibles.. also sprinked around plants makes for a good slug/snail repellent (learned that today) lol happy gardening.
I have become a fan. This is a great supplement particularly for my own root roses. Magnesium is a vital for many chemical reactions in plants , animals and humans. If you look at a chlorophyll molecule diagram you will notice that the center piece is Magnesium. It is vital for proper calcium transport. Other amendments that have it other epsom salts are: dolomite, sulfate of potash magnesia (k-Mag), Cal-Mag and organic compost. Mag sulfate is actually pH neutral, dolomite is more basic. Good video!
I had a citrus with terrible yellowing in the veins.. I diagnosed it as lack of magnesium and sprayed it with epsom salta diluted with water, and was like magic, the leaves became green and shiny... works a treat!
Epsom salt has helped me have a "greener thumb". For bulbs I put about 1/2 tsp in bottom of hole, a slight dusting of soil and then the bulbs. Cover. Water and watch them grow!.I do veggies the same. One year I had gladiolas almost 4 Ft tall. I had to stake them because the flowers were so full and heavy. My tomatoes taste better and this year most of my planting will be vertical. Zucchini, bell peppers, small watermelons, tomatillos and my tomatoes. I will be using your spray method because thats new info. I also use, used coffee grounds water once a week.
I've used it as a root drench 1tbsp per gallon on my tomatoes very good result, that with the eggs shells helps with the blossom end rot and it makes the fruit sweeter
There is nothing better than a RUclips channel that gets right to the point and doesn't have some cheesy 20-second intro.
Ha yes! most spanish videos are like that, a good reason to learn another language

Horticulturist here!
Very helpful. I didn’t know. Thanks
Does it kill any bug insects too please? Celery plant just got infested?!?
@Dana no, it's a compliment as it encourages micro nutrients in the soil.
@Dana too much magnesium loses the calcium.
just make sure to save a half cup to put in the tub when day is done! :)

Epsom Salt helped us to achieved a greener and more healthier lawn. Our lawn is so beautiful. Thanks
I just repurpose the high Epsom salt containing vbathwater of my autistic child's bath. Works great! 🙂

I put a hand full in the hole when planting pepper and tomato plants. Have been doing this for years. Gives them a great start.
Hand full it sounds much for me, I'm a beginner in gardening.
anderson mr Totally agree why would she !! Oh I got it ,she’s just a beginner 🤔
@@mariadi1069 RBT said he`s been doing it for years....experience is everything!
I've been doing it for years as well. First saw it done on the Victory Garden.
Thank you for that tip. Always heard that Epsom Salt was good for plants, but did not know the dilution formula.

I love using Epsom salt in the garden. It definitely produces healthier plants.
I always feed my tomato plants once a week with it and always got better results than the next door neighbor 🤭
Shhhh!! :P
