    I read on here somewhere about using epsom salts on plants to get good flowers and also for tomatos..Is this true?

    I don't really know duckyjuk. I tried it once on anthurium that refused to flower. In this case it didn't work. But that is anecdotal, not scientific.

      Duckyjuk, it`s not Epsom salts you want, it`s potash in the form of tomato feed.
