Cinnamon in the Garden: Natural Pest Control, Rooting Aid, and Fungicide

Cinnamon is a versatile, non-toxic garden helper—ant deterrent, rooting stimulant, and fungicide.

Uses

Ant Control

Sprinkle powder at entry points (home, greenhouse, sandbox). Repels but doesn’t kill.

Rooting Agent

Roll damp cutting ends in cinnamon; plant in fresh soil. Stimulates roots, prevents damping-off fungus.

Fungicide Spray

Steep cinnamon in warm water overnight; strain; spray stems, leaves, and soil. Controls damping-off, slime mold, and mushrooms in pots.

Replace harsh chemicals with this kitchen staple.
