Combating Damping Off
Damping off is a fungal disease that can prevent seeds and seedlings from thriving. To combat this, sprinkle cinnamon on the soil right after sowing seeds. Repeat the process once seedlings appear to ensure their survival.
Healing Plants with Cinnamon
Cinnamon can also help disinfect and heal cuts on plants. After pruning, sprinkle a little cinnamon on the cut areas to prevent fungal diseases.
Keeping Pests Away
To deter ants from your plants without resorting to insecticides, sprinkle cinnamon along their trails. It also helps keep cats away from your vegetable plants, as they dislike the smell. Planting cinnamon sticks in the soil can further deter these pests.
