How to use Epsom salt for plants - and why this cupboard essential could be the secret to happy and healthy plants

A garden with a water feature and growing hydrangeas.

When you think of Epsom salt, you probably think of muscle-relaxing baths and migraine relief. But while you might store this cupboard essential in your bathroom, it turns out that you should buy a box for your shed, too - as there are so many ways to use Epsom salt for plants.

The best garden ideas are filled with happy and healthy plants, no matter whether you opt for a container garden or pack out your garden borders with flowers. And while you could buy plant-specific fertilisers to give them the boost they need to flourish, there are so many natural plant fertilisers you can use instead. Our favourite? Epsom salt.
