epsom salts

I see in some of the answers ,some use epsom salts on brugs,what does it do for them,and how much to use on 1 gal potted.

Most of my brugs are in pots as well. I use 1 tbs per gallon about once every two weeks

I have ben told that Epson Salts is good for all plants, it helps them to "green up". It's especially good for gardenias that have a habit of sometimes getting yellow leaves.

Also if you look up the "recipe" on one of the other threads, epsom salts is one of the ingredients that is used as a foliar spray for brugs, hibiscus, roses and pretty much everything.

Thank you for your reply's I was in Home Depot today and they had a brand name Epsom Salts in a small container for $9,can i use the Epsom salts they sell at drug stores.

Wow, it sholdn't be that expensive unless it ia a large bag. I use the kind at the drug store, don't know for sure but i'll bet it is the same stuff.

yep same stuff!

Walmart has it in the medicine section. I paid about $3 for a 2 lb bag. Mix it with hot water to dissolve it & let cool before using.

I bought a new kind of epsom salts that is strictly for medicinal purposes called REV Dr's brand at CVS. It was $9 for a container and has all kinds of herbs added for various ailments. Good stuff, the regular kind can get you if you have blood pressure problems. I found that out the hard way! I too will keep on using the cheapo epsom from walmart. People use it on elephant ears, roses, pretty much everything.

I also got mine at walmart for about 3 bucks a huge bag..

Thanks everyone,the home depot container was about 8 oz. I will get some from wal Mart.
