Default dusting wih cinnamon??

I read someplace that dusting plants with cinnsmon is good for fighting a
variety of conditions and parasites that attack orchids. If this is true how
does one "dust" on the cinnamon?

Hello!

Cinnamon is a very good fungicide but has no effect on bugs and virus!

Look at Ray`s webpage:

Hi, Bob,

Claude sent you in the right direction. Cinnamon is a great fungicide, and
is also of use in combatting rot. I'm a beleiver.

One word of caution, though. Do not dust an entire root system, or even the
whole plant. Use cinnamon on affected areas or on spots where you have cut
away a piece of the plant, for whatever reason. An effective way to use it
is either as an alcohol infusion or mixed with Elmer's Glue (which is not
toxic to orchids), both of which are discussed on Ray's help pages.

Diana
