Sprinkle This Ingredient on Your Houseplants — and the Whole Neighborhood Will Envy You
If you’ve ever dreamed of houseplants so lush, green, and vibrant that your neighbors peek in to admire them — this might be your new favorite gardening secret.
The trick? A simple ingredient you probably already have in your kitchen.
It’s not a fancy fertilizer or store-bought tonic — it’s cinnamon. Yes, just good old ground cinnamon can take your indoor jungle to the next level. Here’s how this humble spice can turn your plants into total showstoppers.
🌱 Why Cinnamon Works Like Magic for Houseplants
Cinnamon is more than a baking staple. It’s:
- A natural antifungal — prevents root rot and mold
- An antibacterial powerhouse — keeps the soil clean and healthy
- A rooting booster — encourages new growth on cuttings and repotted plants
- A pest repellent — deters fungus gnats, ants, and more
All of that in one sprinkle? You bet.
🌿 How to Use Cinnamon on Your Houseplants
1. Sprinkle on Soil Surface
Dust a light layer of ground cinnamon directly on the top of the soil. This helps prevent mold, deter pests, and protect roots from fungus — all while keeping the soil fresh.
2. Mix into Potting Soil
When repotting or planting cuttings, mix about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the soil to prevent disease and encourage strong root development.
