Is it true that cinnamon works very well to treat fungal/bacterial infections in orchids?
Yes, for many years growers have used cinnamon for spot treatments of fungal and bacterial infections on their orchids. The plants should be damp so the cinnamon will adhere to it. The cinnamon should be dusted on not poured on. Plants can die as a result of too much. It works well as an antibiotic for orchid wounds also. There have been reports of it being used as an insecticide as well.
