RE: [Aroid-l] Cinnamon Fungicide

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.

This works remarkably well to reduce fungal problems in the high humidity." I have not heard of cinnamon as an antifungal powder. Doesn't it burn the cut? How effective is it? Does anyone else use it? Are other things better or worse? Christopher D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.
