Clean Lettuce Leaves Faster
If you’ve ever bought a bag of unwashed spinach leaves, you’ll notice sand and dirt in your mouth no matter how much you rinse it off. This is due to the irregular shape of the leaves and the difficulty of washing the stems due to the nooks and crannies. Soak your leaves in a bowl of water containing 2-3 teaspoons of salt for a few minutes. Give them a good vortex, then rinse them off after crushing the leaves in the water. Your leaves should be smooth and free of grains.
Longer Lasting Plants
Plants, like humans, require some salt to survive, but too much can be toxic. Most plants can tolerate saltwater on their leaves and stems, but if they drink saltwater from the soil, they will become dehydrated. Even if they don’t become dehydrated, too much salt in their bodies can poison them. To summarize, if you want your plants to thrive, avoid watering them with saltwater. Epsom salt, baking soda, and household ammonia can be combined to create a fertilizer that will aid in the maintenance of healthy foliage and stimulate growth in plants.
