Elmer's glue
Has anyone ever used Elmer's glue to close up a fresh cut or open wound? I've always used it on other plants, just wondering if anyone has used it on orchids. If so, any adverse affects? I've tried a couple, no problems yet.

I haven't heard of that but I have heard of using beeswax to seal an injury. I would have been suggesting you try it on one...but you beat me to it! 
You did put cinnamon on it first, right?  |

I'm not sure if elmers glue will dry on a moist cut very fast.
However I have heard of glue being used on cuts on bonsai trees.

I've heard of that, as well. When I rec'd an injured orchid last week, the grower did suggest cinnamon.. |

Hi Jasen 
Cinnamon is magic 
It's been used in medicinal purposes for thousands of years and it helps our 'chids heal when they've got a boo-boo.
When you have some time, read through this thread:
Cinnamon?
You know you're an orchid addict when you have to run out to the greenhouse for your cinnamon, Listerine and Alcohol |

I've used cinnamon mixed in Elmer's glue, and the plant was fine. I got the idea here: First Rays' Home Remedies

I give a sprintz of Listerine (the original one, not minty ) to any chid that's not looking quite right. It's an antiseptic...I also wipe down the stems once I've removed the sheathing. Keeps them clean and healthy |
