So when it’s sprayed on leaves it makes them look weird . On the soil it blends in! Sprinkle method 🀎 β€’ You can also just sprinkle cinnamon on top of the soil! Add a thin layer to the surface and it should do the trick. You may lightly dust leaves , or just the soil for the sake of appearance of the plant . Soil method 🀎 β€’ Mix a few tablespoons of cinnamon into your soil mixture . Plant as usual :) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VMU6lJV9KGDhsUpywc2VPxmMzLe-XmiihCIsW2U9bys/3-Hd1_WvSuaEFM4wgPCUzA.webp?size=large) ## 1 comment ### JenThonπŸͺ΄πŸͺ· commented on 2024-11-24 It works.
