Epsom Salts can give your Chillies that much needed green boost.

If your chilli plants seem to be dropping flowers or the leaves turning yellow and dropping then you might want to try this little gem of a tip to help them set their fruit and get back that lush green look.

Epsom salts are a saviour when growing chillies.  They give your plant a boost of magnesium that becomes deficient (especially in potted plants) through the simple act of watering them.

We will usually dilute about 2 Tablespoons of epsom salts in an average size spray bottle and alternate weeks between fertilising and topping the magnesium levels in the soli via our epsom salt solution.  Don't make the mix too strong!
