  [Aroid-l] Natural fungicide
From: agavestar at covad.net (Michael Mahan) on 2007.11.24 at 22:43:38(16718)
Cinnamon , been using it for years on tubers ,orchids, aroids , agaves ,
anything else that gets rot or fungus , seems to work the best of anything
chemical I've ever used . With storage of tubers ,I cover the tuber with a
thick coat of it right out of the ground while it's still damp.
Orchids,aroids any cut gets a heavy dose even before the sap runs . crown
rot, I clean the rot out then pack the crown with it while still damp .
Seems to work best when applied to a damp, fresh cut or cleaning as it helps
seal & protect . On succulents it speeds the callusing off process . Never
lost a philo cutting since I started using it . ants hate it ! . I'm gonna
try it on a tree stump that is covered with fungus just to see the effect
