A lifesaver

Cinnamon powder works great as an excellent preventative measure.

It is enough to pour a little of this product into a container with seedlings.

The cinnamon should be on the ground: directly above the roots of the seedlings.

Using the powder will give two positive effects at once. Firstly, the likelihood that the sprouts will encounter fungal diseases will be minimal.

Secondly, cinnamon will become a source of a pleasant smell.

In addition, the powder can be used not only as a means of preventing illnesses. Cinnamon often demonstrates effectiveness even if the illness has already made itself known.
