Yes, Epsom salt can clean sago palms. The plant in question (Cycas revoluta) likes moderately acidic soils whose pH (power of hydrogen) ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 and may suffer from magnesium, manganese and potassium deficiencies. Epsom salt serves up a cleaning, leachable, soluble treatment whose magnesium sulfate solves a deficiency without stressing plant or soil.

A good rule of thumb is to dissolve 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt in 1 gallon of water and use this solution to water your sago palm. This can be done monthly during the growing season to provide magnesium and sulfur, which are beneficial for the plant's growth. Remember to always follow the specific instructions provided on the Epsom salt packaging.
