Does cinnamon help remove mold from soil? In short, yes. Cinnamon, with its natural fungicidal properties, can indeed play a significant role in preventing and removing mold from soil. It acts by disrupting the membrane integrity of the mold fungus, effectively eliminating it without harming the plants.
‘Mold is never a good sign as mold or fungus is associated with rot and unhealthy soil,’ says Alexander Testel, founder of Frugal Frontier. ‘Sometimes a white material or layer forms on the surface of the soil, the soil naturally has some mold present but an excessive amount can indicate root rot or soil not getting enough water or sunlight.’
