Mrs. Bradley,
For the houseplants, you can use appoximately 2 tablespoons per gallon of water; then you should feed your plants on a monthly basis.

Thank You, Weezie! I tried a little on my babytears and it seems to be getting back to its adorable green self. I had to repot about a week ago to a 6 inch pot cause so much of it was dying off and lots of it were turning yellow, but since the repot and epsom salt, it is looking lots better. yaaaay!
