Cinnamon not only makes desserts taste good but is effective against the fungus as well which can harm the plants growing in the garden. The fungus is one of the biggest threats to the plants that are grown out of stem cuttings. With a little bit of cinnamon, you can ensure that the cutting would regrow into a healthy plant in no time at all. Sprinkle some of the cinnamon powder in the soil before planting the stem cutting and watch the magic happen. An ingredient from the shelf in your kitchen just saved you a lot of bucks that would have been spent on buying insecticides and fungicides otherwise.
