During autumn, most houseplants experience a slowdown in growth due to reduced daylight. Epsom salt gives them a gentle nudge by:
Replenishing magnesium levels depleted over the summer
Encouraging bud formation for winter-flowering varieties like the Christmas cactus, African violet, and orchids
Supporting root health before the colder months
The result? Lush green leaves and bursts of color when you least expect them.
Other Natural Tricks to Combine with Epsom Salt
For an even stronger boost, combine this method with other natural care habits:
Rotate your plants every few days to balance light exposure.
Mist the leaves occasionally to maintain humidity.
Feed them gently with compost tea or a diluted natural fertilizer every month.
Trim dead leaves to encourage new growth.
These small gestures help your indoor plants stay vibrant and happy all year round.
