Epsom salt is a chlorophyll booster in plants. When plants that produce fruit have more chlorophyll, they have more energy, which means more sugar. This leads to the sweetest fruit you’ve ever tasted.

4. Prevent Transplant Shock

Transplant shock may have affected your plants in the past without you even realizing it. When moved from one location to another, plant roots often get damaged, making them wilt and die shortly after being replanted. Thankfully, Epsom salt is useful for treating transplant shock. All you have to do is sprinkle a small amount of it in the hole you are putting your plant in, add a thin layer of dirt on top, then add your plant. Of course, you can always sprinkle it on top of the soil after the fact as well.

  1. You say there are 12 uses. Most times when you have to go page to page, I get maybe 4 or so. It would be nice to just scroll down all of them on one page

  2. The second page says to water some down and use on fruits that are growing. It makes them produce more sugar. And then says it also helps prevent transplant shock. The rest of the twelve does not come up at all on my computer.

  3. If you open it in your browser— (three little dots on bottom right hand corner on my iPhone—might look different on other devices, but the choice is always there)—there is a ‘Reader View’ (upper left hand corner of article on your browser.) ‘ReaderView’ has *no* ads.
