Proper planting and care of cinnamon for good feng shui
Cinnamon is an exquisite plant, but it is not too difficult to grow. The appropriate time to propagate cinnamon cuttings is in the autumn or spring. You can cut cinnamon branches to be about 10-15 cm long, ensuring that each branch has 2-3 buds. Then remove the leaves and soak the branches in water mixed with a little sugar before planting them in a small pot. The sugar water helps the cinnamon cuttings root faster. Place the pot in a cool, well-ventilated area and check the water daily. Avoid letting the soil dry out or become waterlogged. After about 20 days, you can transplant the cinnamon seedlings into a pot or into the ground.
You can also purchase mature cinnamon plants from a nursery for faster flowering and easier cultivation.
When buying cinnamon seedlings, you need to distinguish between local cinnamon and Chinese cinnamon: Currently, there are both local cinnamon and imported Chinese cinnamon on the market, so if you want to plant local cinnamon, you need to pay attention. Chinese cinnamon trees typically have much larger trunks and smoother, brighter bark with white spots. On the other hand, local cinnamon has darker trunks with numerous continuous cracks and spots, presenting a more antique appearance. Some mature cinnamon trees even have green moss growing on their trunks, giving them a very historical look.
Care tips: Cinnamon is a light-loving plant, so it is recommended to plant it outdoors in a well-lit area in front of the house. To ensure the plant grows well and blooms regularly, fertilize it once a year, trim dead branches and withered leaves as needed.
Watering: Cinnamon should be watered regularly but avoid waterlogging.
Feng shui considerations for cinnamon
Since cinnamon is a plant that prefers light and can grow tall, it is better to plant it in the ground in front of the house rather than in a pot. The ideal position for planting cinnamon is slightly offset to the left, as cinnamon plants tend to grow tall and represent the dragon in feng shui. Cinnamon is highly fragrant, inviting the presence of the god of wealth into the house. However, avoid planting it right at the entrance to create a more open pathway for the flow of energy in front of the house.
Cinnamon is a beautiful and noble plant, so you need to take extra care to ensure it can flower and live for a long time. Cinnamon can live for a very long time.
