One thing I would like to tell people is to not put cinnamon powder on roots. Especially on healthy roots. It dries them out. You can put a little bit on the ends of cut roots but that is it. I actually don't use it on roots at all but some people do on the ends of cut roots. I have read that people have coated the roots in cinnamon powder and then they wonder why the roots died. Be careful with it around roots. Just my opinion!
