Fertilizer Supplements: Is Epsom Salt Good for Orchids?


Epsom salt is extremely beneficial for your orchid’s maintenance and nutrition. Not only does it help with the production of chlorophyll, but it also aids in cell construction, proper hydration, and flushes out the orchid from salt residue. Epsom Salt will make the blooms larger and the leaves more vivid, causing no harm to your orchid.



Orchid fertilization is not a complicated subject, and the more you immerse yourself in the different possibilities, the more fascinating it gets. Well, at least for me…I once thought that fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer, 20-20-20 year-round was sufficient. Then I read about not using an orchid fertilizer with urea nitrogen in it. Then the question came up about using Epsom Salt for fertilization.



With the use of Epsom salt, there have been many questions about its use and exactly what it does.
