Bring Your Wilting Plants Back to Life: An Australian Mom Shares Her Secret

An Australian mom has discovered an amazing tip to breathe new life into dry plants after they've started to wither. "I've always loved plants and read a lot about them. Over the years, I realized that just watering them isn't enough, even for those that need a lot of water. To revive these plants after they start wilting, you need to prepare this solution in a bathtub and soak the plants in it."

The mom "soaks" the wilting plants in a bathtub filled with lukewarm water and a packet of Epsom salt.

In a social media post, the mom shared before and after photos of the plants that received her treatment, and the results speak for themselves. "Epsom salt is rich in magnesium sulfate, which boosts chlorophyll production," she wrote as reported by Britain's 'Daily Mail,' adding: "The warm water helps eliminate pests that might be aphids or gnats."

According to her, Epsom salt gives the water and soil the boost needed to regenerate life. "Epsom salt helps seeds sprout, promotes plant growth and renewal, encourages more flowers, increases chlorophyll production, and kills pests like snails."

In the Facebook group she created - Moms Who Grow Gardens - the Australian mom wrote that she doesn't consider herself a gardener, but over the years, as she experimented more with this tip on her beloved plants, she discovered it simply works and decided to sell the product in special packages she makes herself.

"For those who care about their plants, I suggest they hurry and use my tip," she concludes.
