I could be wrong but, I think giving epsom salts IS giving Mag to the plants if I'm not mistaken. I'm having the same problem with mine right now. I can't really tell ya............I've never had the problem before, but I changed soil's so.........could be anything...

Well I just added 1/2 teaspoon of cal/mag in a quart and foilar fed the (bottem) infected leafs. Some seem to be hanging on and some are too far gone. I don't think you get the green back when it's over 50% gone but, that my not be true.

like the plant turns yellow then dies into brown, does the plant have any newer leaves that are a bit distorted?

sorry about that, well not to sure basic tap water has calcium do you usually use distilled or "clean water" cuz usually you would just use pure distilled beside tap but regular tap water out of the sink has calcium so mix your ro water with tap to even it out.
