Epsom Salts! NOT just for humans, but super beneficial for our orchids! Epsom salt, aka magnesium sulfate, a chemical compound made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen! For our orchids Epsom salt is beneficial, not only for the production of chlorophyll, but Epsom salt aids in cell construction, proper hydration and flushes out any salt residue that is in excess in the pot of your orchids / around the roots of your orchids. Soaking our orchids in Epsom salt solution, at least once a month, will benefit them in all ways mentioned above!
