9.8% Magnesium + 13% Sulfur

Two critical secondary nutrients in one water-soluble crystal. Magnesium drives chlorophyll production. Sulfur supports protein synthesis and flavor compound development.

💧

Instantly Water Soluble

Dissolves completely in water for immediate availability. Foliar spray delivers magnesium directly through leaf tissue for the fastest possible deficiency correction.

🍅

Tomato & Pepper Essential

Tomatoes and peppers are heavy magnesium users. Regular Epsom salt applications prevent the interveinal yellowing that signals Mg deficiency and improve fruit flavor and yield.

🌹

Rose Grower Staple

Rose growers have used Epsom salt for decades. ½ cup per plant in spring and fall produces more basal breaks, deeper green foliage, and more vigorous cane growth.

🌿

Foliar Spray for Fast Correction

2 tablespoons per gallon sprayed on foliage delivers magnesium directly through leaf stomata. Visible greening within 3–5 days on deficient plants.

📦

500 sq ft or 40 Gallons Per Bag

At 1 cup per 100 sq ft for soil application, one 5 lb bag covers ~500 sq ft. For liquid use, makes approximately 40 gallons of drench/spray solution.

Safe & Natural

Magnesium sulfate is a naturally occurring mineral salt. Non-toxic, organic-compatible, and safe for all plants when used at recommended rates.
