Planting Instructions
Timing: Sow cinnamon seeds in a warm, humid environment. They can be planted indoors year-round or outdoors in tropical to subtropical climates.
Soil Preparation: Cinnamon trees prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5-7.0).
Sowing: Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in the soil. Maintain a warm temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) to promote germination.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly to maintain humidity around the seeds.
Germination: Seeds typically germinate within 4-6 weeks under optimal conditions. Be patient, as germination times can vary.
Growing and Care
Sunlight: Cinnamon trees thrive in partial shade to full sun. Provide at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Cinnamon trees prefer high humidity, so misting the leaves can help maintain moisture levels.
Fertilizing: Feed your tree with a balanced, organic fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season to support healthy growth.
Pruning: Prune the tree to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and better air circulation.
Harvesting
Bark: Harvest cinnamon bark from mature branches by cutting small sections and peeling the bark away. The inner bark is then dried and curled into cinnamon sticks.
Leaves: The leaves can also be harvested and used fresh or dried for teas and culinary uses.
