Simple, follow the Master Gardeners and Jim Davis of the UF extension service .

Trace elements should be given to all palms. The ratios are important and the total amount has an upper limit before it harms the palm. If you add one mineral and not the others it can harm the palm. That is why you should use Lescoe fertilizers that are man made and include amounts that are balanced (more or less) for palms. If you add only (epson salt) magnesium and not the others you will potentially end up in trouble.
Epsom salts contain quick release water soluble magnesium sulfate.
Too much magnesium and you may get a lock up of potassium.
how much more iinfo do you need not to use it?
I have over 30 palms, I have been using Lesco two years, they are thriving.
I also use a drip system on each one
