Thanks Marvin I agree! I’ve seen a lot of diy rooting hormone videos that say things work but never actually show a full experiment proving it, which is why I wanted to test these things myself. I just released a bunch of videos on this very topic, testing a variety of possible rooting agents, and was surprised to see half of what the internet claims would help a plant propagate, actually hurt my cuttings and slowed root growth. Be careful what you believe 😆 thanks for the support!
Thanks for the advice. I dropped a basil plant and it snapped. I gave it a fresh cut, dipped it in cinnamon before placing in RO water and 3 days later the stem had roots.
While your vietnamese cinnamon may work well for rooting cuttings, Vietnamese Cinnamon is not actually from the real cinnamon tree . True cinnamon is Ceylon soft bark cinnamon (also known as Cinnamomum verum), which is made from the actual bark of a tree native to the islands of Sri Lanka, near the southern tip of India. Ceylon cinnamon has been lauded for its ability to stabilize blood sugar as well as its perceived sweetness.A plant called cassia (Cinnamomum cassia), by contrast, is native to southern China and spans a much larger territory, making it more readily available-and way cheaper. All cinnamons have some amount of a natural compound called coumarin, which imparts flavor, but the amount found in cassia is considerably higher than that in Ceylon-and can even be toxic. Though cassia is considered safe in small amounts (up to 1 teaspoon per day), eating too much could be harmful because coumarin has carcinogenic and liver-damaging properties. .
That s why I was feeling soooo bad after drinking a lot of this!! I really want to thank you for sharing Your knowledge. I m muslim and i believe that nothing happens randomly. I was very busy and I was about to stop reading the comments when I saw yours!! Thank you again. I wish all the Best for you!
After seeing this I don't see Cinnamon anymore just a natural anti-fungus for plants, but also now, a rooting agent. I hope it will help my tricolor pictum cuts to root faster
I heard that cinnamon act more as a preventative for rot as opposed to a stimulator for root growth. Really interesting to see these results though! I have been wondering if there was a product for aiding water propagation and if my goal is root growth, I might as well skip it, yet maybe add some cinnamon! Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. I found it after watching a tictok, where the comment say the person was dipping in cinnamon and water, but theu never gave the ratio, and the poster of the video never replied either. Here's the thing, I like your approach better, because cinnamon powder doesn't dissolve in liquid, I've tried. It just gets wets and sticks to the sides of the bowl. But placing the cinnamon on via dip, seems to work very well. Thanks again for sharing.
Hello. Can you try cuttings with cannabis and woody plants and compare, please. This time: one (with honey, two) with cinnamon, three) with aloe vera plant, four (willow branches, five) with aspirin 320 tablets six) vinegar. Please compare these. Thank you for your videos or informative program
I love how concise this is, straight to the point with video time stamps. Also interesting experiment! I've been rooting / trying to root all my cuttings directly in soil, but I have a few sedum and rosemary rooting in water right now. Maybe I'll add some cinnamon now! :D
Hey - thanks for these videos! Have you tried a test to compare the propagator product mixed with cinnamon, VS the propagator alone and cinnamon alone? I'd be curious to see if they are benefitting the plants in a different manner that might be complementary, with the added benefit of the propagator bringing nutrients to the table.
Hey Malk, great idea! Havent tested that specifically but you could be on to something. I went the route of trying other homemade substances that the internet recommends.. summary here: ua-cam.com/video/uQp2NfC0-kg/v-deo.html
Interesting. I've been rooting in water a long time but I may try the cinnamon bc it inhibits fungus. Another story. A few wks ago I chopped my small Pilea's off their stem, they were getting very leggy. I applied cinnamon to the open wound, used a pencil to create a hole in my fresh-soil pot and inserted. No wilt whatsoever and, 3 wks later these plants are huge and very happy! One big caveat. My home is very dry so I started using a humidifier every day, 12 hrs/day. Humidity went fm 37% to 50ish every day. I am very sure this had a lot to do with the health of these plants but didn't set up a control to prove it out.
Interesting results! Nice to know that the Propa-Gator nutes help with foliage health as well as root development. Indeed cinnamon wins the race, but overall growth is best imho. :)
@@JimmyBHarvests i watched the propegation vid and cut my leaves ends like you did.... I had forgot to place it in a moisture dome though. My bad. I forget if you mentioned to do that for extra moisture. No roots on my clone clipping yet but ..the leaves haven't died. Its been over a week. Used the cinnamon and split method. I think i fucked up by not doming it. What you think? Think it will root? Its still healthy just no roots.
I enjoyed the video so much! Thanks for doing this, I was on the way to buy a rooting hormone but I think I will continue with loyal Cinnamon 🥰. Cheers!
Thank you for making and sharing this exciting experiment. Next time I make a cutting for propagation I will try out the cinnamon approach. I am however really impressed by the leaf grows using the industrial hormon product.
i´m an apartament gardner and I never got to clone anything. Its midnight here in Rio and Im trying to clone a cayenne and a jalapeño. Thanks for the help
update: I was able to make clones for the first time! I got 3 clones using cinnamon! I also saw another good tip that seems to make a big difference: Use a bubbler for the clones. They seem to really enjoy and the roots come out faster! Thanks a lot
Hi there ! i m very impressed by hos quick roots are propagating. Mine are terrible. What do you know you failed your hydroponics farming ? Is it expected that is grows that slow ? (spinash, tomatoes, basil)
Hi Jimmy, thanks for this awesome information/demonstration, when I'm trying this with cinnamon, do I still change the water every three days and re-apply the cinnamon each time or do I just the water topped up till I see roots? Thanks
You can change the water every 3-4 days, that definitely wont hurt. Topping it up is my go to and i change it as it gets murky. I wouldn't reapply the cinnamon, but I haven't tried that, potentially it works too.
Thanks for that informative and scientific video.Is cinnamon good for succulents root growth? If so how can it be done given that succulents don't like a lot of water ?
Havent tested cinnamon with succulents, but you are right that you do not water propagate them. I think you can set them up in dirt and they will root themselves.
Are you sure the plant cuttings were good? I used honey cinnamon mix for my propagation and saw saw growth within a week. Some of those propagation were more than month old with no roots. But this thing totally worked for me
Never heard of using Cinnamon before. That is really interesting. Based off or your testing, I am wondering if cinnamon works better than honey? Or, maybe a combination works best?
I felt like the cinnamon worked slightly better than the honey, but it’s definitely close! Both outperformed just water and are good options. I haven’t tried any combinations yet myself, but I imagine it would work well too.
Doing that will be really tough on the plant. You'll likely lose those flowers/fruits throughout the propagation process while the plant focuses ob growing roots
Haven’t tested it personally but I don’t see why not. Sage plants are easy to water propagate and salvia is in the same family. I’d imagine you’ll be fine with untreated water. I’ve got a video on growing sage from cuttings maybe that will help you! Best of luck bro
Quick note on cinnamon. You used the correct kind of real cinnamon. The stuff labeled 'cinnamon' in most grocery stores is actually not from the bark of the cinnamon tree, but from something that tastes almost similar. You want to see the words vietnamese or saigon on the bottle to know you're getting the real thing.
Hyper-oxygenating water increases nutrient uptake and conversion efficiency which enhances the growth and development of roots, vegetative and flowering characteristics. For instance, oxygen will oxidise organic phosphate into inorganic phosphate which can then be readily used by plants.
They all grew roots. That’s why I find all the alleged rooting aids hard to evaluate. Cuttings of many plants, including tomatoes, can be rooted by just sticking them in the ground, or putting them in water. So if you get roots using cinnamon or honey or willow tea or aloe vera or something else, you don’t really know if the roots are from the extra ingredients, or just the roots you’d get anyway. To really find out would require very extensive, controlled trials- something I’m not prepared or equipped to do.
I haven’t been able to find the actual chemical compounds responsible but it is said that the cinnamon acts as a fungicide and can help prevent disease/bacteria growth. All I know is I tried it and it worked 😂
Yep that’s a great idea Herminio! Over the next couple weeks I have a few more propagation race videos releasing, one of them is with aloe Vera! Stay tuned
I was wondering if reapplying cinnamon is necessary during the process? I applied cinnamon to my plant and rooting began but noticed the cinnamon was sorta coming off
@@JimmyBHarvests i clone alot. i have not used either. i've only heard though the years they work. i typically use a turbokloner. i usually use about 200ppm of flower nutes or just plain water both ph'ed down to 5.5. i get roots about 11 days sometimes 2 weeks. watching your vids the turbokloner seems like overkill. i really like that you can just put the cut in a jar of water and get roots just as quick as i can. i find that fascinating. the cloner i got was way over $200 and and it's a pain in the butt to clean and setup. also it has 2 plugs i have to find electricity for. with my grows its hard to find extra outlets. thanks for sharing you work. im gonna try it at home :)
another neat thing i have heard of is that you can take a cut, wrap the cut end in wet paper towel, then a ziplock bag. put that in the fridge for over a month. then you can root it when convenient .the trick is to keep it moist so you may have to spray it water in the fridge once in a while. this is for cannabis but i'm sure it will work for other plants.
An excellent question. I've done some cloning in both clear and opaque jars and haven't seen much difference in performance. Could definitely be worth further investigation

Tomatoes are just too easy to propergate - it would have been a better test if you had tested with cuttings from plants that are more difficult to root. However, appreciate your scientific approach.
I agree. I put a few suckers off my tomato plants last year in water and withing two days roots were growing like crazy. Would like to see something a bit harder to prop. I think the results would be much more apparent that way.
It is my understanding that tomato plants will root in water without any help? Is this wrong? I wish he would do this with a tree clipping or some other plant that does not propagate at all without help.

Yep, both methods work. Cinnamon treated plants grew more roots in the same amount of time though.
