Thanks Marilyn! I figured it was the potassium, but it is good to know that
banana peel is the richest organic source. Especially since banana peels are
free and easy to use.

Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is a good source of magnesium. It gives
roses greener foliage and stronger, healthier roots and stems.
