Clean Lettuce Leaves Faster
If you’ve ever bought a bag of unwashed spinach leaves, no matter how much you rinse it off, you will still find sand and dirt in your mouth when you eat it. This is because the leaves are irregular in shape, and the nooks and crannies of the stems make them difficult to wash properly. Soak your leaves in a bowl of water with 2-3 teaspoons of salt. Give them a good vortex, crush the leaves in the water, and then rinse them off. Your leaves should be nice and grain-free.
Longer Lasting Plants
Plants, like humans, need a certain amount of salt to survive, but too much can be toxic. Most plants can tolerate salt water on their leaves and stems, but they will dehydrate if they drink salt water from the soil. Even if they don’t dehydrate, an excess of salt in their systems can poison them. To take away, avoid watering your plants with salt water if you want them to thrive. Epsom salt, baking soda, and household ammonia can be combined into a fertilizer that will help plants maintain healthy foliage and stimulate growth.
