    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. :)

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

      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'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.

Before doing ANY of this however, the soil pH should be professionally tested by a county extension or a big box store. Nice and cheap. Get that range between 6.8 and 7.2 and then, do a balance spray with Magnesium, I do triple what you use and Manganese, about the same.

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.

I might have liquid fish in the water too. By amounts suggested on the bottle or less because of fertilizer already in the hole. Lay off the alfalfa meal after plants are started as that speeds up their growth...use on Late planted plants to speed up growth but not all season.

    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'm a florist and believe in Epsom salts. But you need a little acidity to help with absorption. A littel lemon juice does the trick well.

    A quarter teaspoon dissolved in water once a day is excellent for your own health too! It is very effective in blood glucose control, Insulin resistance and as a result weight loss. Not too much though, otherwise it will act as a laxative.
