Surekha epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) is a fast-acting plant booster formulated to support stronger stems, greener foliage and bigger blooms in home gardens, vegetables and flowering beds. Ideal for gardeners who want an easy, affordable magnesium and sulfur supplement—use it as a soil amendment or foliar spray for roses, tomatoes, peppers, bulbs and potted plants to help plants access nutrients more efficiently.
Product summary
Surekha Epsom Salt is a high-purity magnesium sulphate supplement designed for home gardeners, hobbyists and small-scale growers. Unlike N-P-K fertilizers, Epsom salt supplies elemental magnesium and sulfur—two secondary nutrients that play a critical role in chlorophyll production, nutrient uptake and flower/fruit development. Use a light soil dressing or an occasional foliar spray to correct magnesium deficiency, reduce yellowing between leaf veins, and encourage faster, more vigorous growth.
Available in convenient 1kg, 2kg and 5kg packs, this formulation dissolves easily in water and mixes well with regular fertilizer schedules. It’s ideal for vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits), ornamentals (roses, petunias, geraniums), and container plants. Because it is a mineral supplement (not a complete fertilizer), pair it with balanced N-P-K feeding for best results. Safe, economical, and simple to apply—Surekha Epsom Salt helps your garden look greener and flower fuller without complicated inputs.

Detailed description
Surekha Epsom Salt is a concentrated magnesium sulphate supplement that supports greener leaves, stronger stems and improved flowering. It’s a targeted solution for gardeners noticing magnesium deficiency or wanting a natural-feeling boost to root-zone nutrition.
How it works
Magnesium is central to chlorophyll—the molecule that lets plants photosynthesise—while sulfur is involved in protein synthesis and enzyme function. When soil is low in available magnesium (sandy soils, high rainfall areas, heavy fertilization with ammonium), plants show pale or yellowing leaves (interveinal chlorosis) and reduced fruiting. Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) dissolves in water, releasing Mg²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions that plants can readily absorb through roots or leaves—giving a targeted nutrient correction without altering soil N-P-K balance.
When to use Epsom Salt
- At planting: lightly mix into planting hole for magnesium-hungry crops (tomatoes, peppers).
- Growing season: apply every 4–6 weeks as foliar spray or soil drench for sustained support.
- For flowering bulbs & ornamentals: apply at bud formation to improve bloom set and color.
- When leaves show yellowing between veins (magnesium deficiency): test and apply as corrective treatment.
How to use it
Foliar spray (fast uptake): Dissolve 1 tablespoon (≈15 g) per gallon (≈4 litres) of water. Spray leaves early morning or late afternoon every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Avoid spraying in midday heat.
Soil drench / garden beds: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon per square foot (~15 g / 0.09 m²) and lightly work into the top 2–3 cm of soil, or broadcast 2–3 tablespoons per square metre. Water thoroughly after application.
Potted plants / indoor plants: Use ½ teaspoon per litre of water once a month as a soil drench or foliar spray.
Vegetables (tomato/pepper boost): At first fruit set, apply 1 tablespoon per gallon as a foliar spray; repeat at 3–4 week intervals if needed.
Note: These are general guidelines—adjust based on plant size and soil test results. Do not exceed recommended dosages; overuse can cause salt build-up.
What to expect
Leaves and growth response often appear within 2–4 weeks of application (especially with foliar spray). Flowering and fruit quality improvements can follow within 4–8 weeks. For best results combine with balanced N-P-K fertilization and good watering practices.
Environmental & sourcing claims

FAQs
- What is Epsom salt for plants?
Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate, a mineral supplement that supplies magnesium and sulfur to support chlorophyll production, nutrient uptake and flower set.
- Is Surekha Epsom Salt safe for vegetables?
Yes — when used as directed it’s safe for vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and leafy greens. Rinse produce before eating.
- Can I use it on lawns?
You can apply a light broadcast to lawns to correct magnesium deficiency (follow soil test guidance). Avoid heavy, frequent dosing.
- Is it an organic fertilizer?
Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral, not an organic compost or N-P-K fertilizer. It complements organic or synthetic fertilizers but is not OMRI-listed organic matter.
- How often should I apply it?
Typically every 4–6 weeks during the growing season as a foliar spray or soil drench; reduce frequency for seedlings and sensitive plants.
- Will it harm my plants if I overapply?
Excessive application may cause salt build-up or nutrient imbalance. Stick to recommended dosages and water thoroughly.
- Can I mix it with regular fertilizer?
Yes—Epsom salt is compatible with most N-P-K fertilizers and garden mixes; apply according to schedules and avoid simultaneous heavy applications.
- Can I use it in hydroponics?
Use with caution—hydroponic nutrient solutions require precise Mg and S balance. Consult hydroponic guidelines before adding.
- How soon will I see results?
Foliar applications often show leaf color improvement in 2–4 weeks; flowering/fruiting benefits may take 4–8 weeks.
- How should I store it?
Keep dry in a sealed container in a cool place; moisture will clump the crystals.
