Sorry Ray i did not get bag the alcohol in the OP ? By this you mean 'don`t
use the alcohol' if i want a fungicide, yeh?how much cinnamon to water
ratio?
Is the alcohol -insecticide best sprayed neat?
I have never heard the term to bag something before :-) that`s why i did not
click .
Cheers Ray

Yes - if the fungicidal action is what you're after. The cinnamaldehyde
extracted from the powder is a better fungicide than the alcohol, but
THAT'S a better insecticide.

If mildew is your concern, bag the alcohol and just make up more of the
cinnamon infusion in water.

(I always use isopropyl alcohol, to answer that question.)

I buy more alcohol.

Adding the infusion to the water dilutes both the alcohol and the
cinnamon too much to be really effective.

If your primary goal is a fungicide, boil a lot more cinnamon in
water, then dilute that.

Most of the remedies are made with small quantities,ie 500ml alcohol
+1 tablespoon of cinnimon.This isnt enough to treat alot of plants.I
did the above then mixed it with 5 litres of water to spray all my
plants.Less effective?
Alot of alcohol in needed for larger treatments,so what do you do?
Thanks Keith
