Apparently no issues with tissue damage from the cinnamon itself. Most of them are trying to avoid the use of other fungicides which they consider more toxic/dangerous/environmentally unfriendly, and obviously aren't doing rigorous controlled comparisons. But some of them are very experienced growers who have used a lot of products over the years, and they seem to feel it's pretty effective for both preventing and curing fungal problems.

From: "michael mahan" <agavestar at covad.net> on 2007.01.26 at 05:49:07(15161) I use all the time , I started using it 16 years ago on orchids works really well ,best if used just as a cut is made... have used on rotting succulents that I carved out the rot packed in the hole the powder & left to dry heals & seals the cuts . now using on my philo cuts & have never lost a cutting since I started using it on the philo's ... even have used it with success on a rotted A.bulbcifer tuber .. best off it's non-toxic & need for gloves ..smells nice too ... I have had better luck with this than Roottone & the others ... even on a very rare African succulent I mixed 50/50 with roottone and saved it and that never happen before as I had lost 3 before with just roottone or nothing at all just a fan &warm dry air Michael Mahan +More -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of D.

From: "Ron" <ronlene at bellsouth.net> on 2007.01.26 at 22:43:01(15172) I have a large collection of Dormant Amorphophallus tubers. Should most of them be kept “bone dry” until they show signs of new growth? When the new growth begins, before roots appear, should they still be kept bone dry? Or, should the soil always be kept misted? I know there are exceptions and someday I will know which they are, but until that happens, I could use some general information. Thanks for your help!

From: "Patricia Frank" <tricia_frank at hotmail.com> on 2007.01.27 at 02:06:42(15173) I have not used any chemicals in my garden for the last 15 years, cinnamon has been my fungicides of choice on any problems that I have had. It is important to catch it early and reduce watering. It is not 100% but much better for our environment.
