TPBM would like to know the recommended dosage of epsom salts in one litre of water for plant use... LOL

 

[cnycharles]

let's see... a liter is a 'fat quart', and a quart of mixed epsom salts according to the label on this package says to mix two tablespoons to one gallon of water. since a liter is slightly less than a quart, and at this rate you would have six teaspoons to one gallon, and 1.5 tsp. per quart. 0.94 x 1.5 gives you 1.4 teaspoons. 4.94 cc's to a teaspoon, (about 5) so 5 x 1.4 is 7 cc's of epsom salts.
now, that said, I've seen recommendations online for using two teaspoons to a half cup! of epsom salts per gallon of water. I have a feeling this isn't exact science (smile), so you might want to start on the lower end and use it a little bit, and work up. articles that I've read online state that epsom salts are a (tonic) instead of a (fertilizer), so it probably shouldn't be used all the time. there are some plants like sage (read online) that don't like the extra of what e.s.'s have, then only an occasional treatment might be necessary. it's been pointed out that sulphates are helpful for chlorophyll production and also help with the uptake of other macronutrients, so a little once in a while may be better than using a whole bunch. the chlorophyll production would help to explain why my orchids (and clark e's) greened up and the leaves got larger all around
(so true!)

tpbm has gotten home, but now it's snowing and they have to drive someplace else today
