Author Garden: Epsom salts DAISYSMURF Garden Helper Member # 5436 posted                       A while back I wrote about my gardenia and its yellow leaves. The gardenia has bloomed well but the leaves are still yellow. I thought I had it planted to deep to I leveled the ground around it. My mother ran across an article mentioning the use of epsom salts to rid the yellow leave problem, has anyone ever heard of this and if so how do i go about it? Is it possible maybe I'm watering it too much, someone else mentioned that... Plants: 20 | From: Winston-Salem,NC | Registered: May 2005  |  Seeded: 205.188.116.71 Bestofour Garden Pro! Member # 1423 posted                       I use epsom salt all the time. I just sprinkle it all around the plants, far enough out from the truck so that it can get into the root system. If you're not going to have any rain water it in. * * * * http://www.picturetrail.com/bestofour Plants: 3667 | From: Monroe, NC | Registered: Aug 2003  |  Seeded: 64.12.116.68 BFVISION Dream Gardener Member # 1437 posted                       Are there multiple plants the epsom salt will work on?
