I dropped my encyclia

Plants have enzymes in them that create scabs and heal. It may be ugly, but it will be alive. Even a fully bitten apple will create a scab over the bite mark. I also think you should keep it dry because right now it is most vulnerable to potential access by germs or bacteria. I even think that cinnimon might be a bit too much on the inside of a bulb. I know you are not supposed to use it on roots.
