To feed house plants, the Epsom Salt Council suggests adding two tablespoons of Epsom salt to every gallon of water used. And for beautiful roses, soak bushes in a half a cup of Epsom salt (per gallon of water) before planting. Further, give roses a tablespoon of Epsom salt in the hole you dig before putting them in. Spray roses with a gallon of water containing a tablespoon of Epsom salt to get rid of nasty pests.
