Magnesium Sulphate Epsom Salts Fertiliser (MgSO4)

Revitalise Your Garden with Epsom Salts

Bring life back to your garden with the unparalleled benefits of Magnesium Sulphate, more commonly known as Epsom Salts. This versatile and natural mineral compound is essential for promoting lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and robust plant health. Ideal for both novice and seasoned gardeners.

How it Works

Magnesium Sulphate, scientifically recognized as MgSO₄, provides two critical elements for plant health: magnesium and sulphur.

• 1. Magnesium: Vital for photosynthesis, magnesium is the central atom in chlorophyll molecules. It aids in the absorption of light, thus enhancing the plant’s ability to convert sunlight into energy. Magnesium acts as a co-factor for many enzymes, facilitating numerous biochemical processes essential for growth and development.
• 2. Sulphur: This element is crucial for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and vitamins. Sulphur also plays a role in the development of plant structure and defence mechanisms against diseases.

Ideal Plants for Epsom Salts

Magnesium Sulphate is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including but not limited to:

• Roses: Achieve lush, deep-green leaves and abundant blooms.
• Tomatoes and Peppers: Enhance fruit set and overall plant vigour.
• Houseplants: Maintain healthy, vibrant indoor greenery.
• Lawns: Promote robust grass growth and rich green colour.
• Vegetables: Improve overall yield and health of a range of vegetable crops.

Spotting a Magnesium Deficiency:

Look out for these tell-tale signs of magnesium deficiency in your plants:

• Yellowing Leaves: Interveinal chlorosis, where leaves turn yellow while veins remain green.
• Leaf Curling: Older leaves may curl upwards or downwards at the edges.
• Stunted Growth: Slower growth rate and smaller plant size.
• Poor Flower and Fruit Development: Reduced blooms and fruit yield.

Application Instructions:

• Foliar Spray: Dissolve 2 tablespoons of Epsom Salts in a gallon of water and spray directly onto the leaves for quick absorption.
• Soil Amendment: Mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salts per foot of plant height into the soil around the base of the plant monthly.
• Transplant Solution: Add a tablespoon of Epsom Salts to the planting hole to reduce transplant shock and encourage root development.
