    This document discusses a study on the effects of Epsom salt on the growth of Capsicum frutescens (chili pepper) plants. The study involved applying a solution of Epsom salt to experimental plants and comparing their growth to control plants watered with regular tap water. Results showed that plants treated with Epsom salt grew taller and produced more flowers, fruits, and buds. The conclusion is that Epsom salt has beneficial effects on chili pepper plant growth by enhancing nutrient absorption.
