<center>**Welcome to a new post, dear Hiver!**</center>

*This time of year it rains a lot in my country, which means mushrooms will be growing in the garden.*

I've already shown you some mushrooms, which are beautiful, by the way. But the ones that aren't at all pleasant are those that rot and completely destroy the plants.

And this year has been voracious. It's the second year in a row that they've attacked the succulent "dwarf aloe vera." So I applied a technique that worked perfectly for me last year, and that also works for various succulents.

<center>![photo_2025-07-14_20-04-10.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zulfrontado/EpVDbK8gCaNy2P1FbALZa2NtZdwtVaaci6jjiJCL9HtTuwfTSQberTTqcrFk1NRQzVV.jpg)</center>

That's why Mom also intervened, giving me a container of ground cinnamon for the plants. She didn't know what I would do with it, but the best was yet to come.

<center>![photo_2025-07-14_20-04-03.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zulfrontado/Eos2GMgiKbZu2Y46arw3ji6SiTPJ5ZyreBv2qwfSkz3k2C3JNJ8fdEF5m8bHi8LnD9B.jpg)</center>

What I did was cut off all the affected leaves, because these are the ones with the fungus.

And since the wound was fresh, I sprinkled cinnamon powder on them. This works as a homemade, inexpensive, and natural fungicide for plants. So I also added a little to the soil.

<center>![photo_2025-07-14_20-04-05.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zulfrontado/EpLhujPzRU1npNnr78akBTPRvyHwqzQcRr2er6nXxbKoF2WJDUBFjyQLcJu4f6QBgoh.jpg)</center>

*Of course, it hurt to cut my aloe vera, but it was necessary*

I felt like it hurt to cut them. As I showed you, the largest ones have been with me for five years. While the smallest ones are offspring that have emerged from the older plants.

However, this is necessary. Sometimes you have to cut down a plant completely, or a large part of it, in order to save it.

Although it doesn't apply to all plants, some are saved with this method, as is the case with my succulents.

So my personal advice is not to be afraid of change. They will grow back and be better, alive and without any fungus affecting them.

This also helps us understand things better.

Unfortunately, I realized the fungus quite late. Otherwise, I would have identified it sooner to avoid so many cuts and so many sick plants.

But it is what it is. So far, I've figured it out. The positive side is that I was able to act quickly, and these plants will recover. As they do, I'll show you the progress on my blog.

**Another important fact**

I'm almost done, but I haven't told you something you should pay attention to.

All the stalks we cut should go in the trash. Don't use them as compost; remember, they contain fungus. And if you use them in your compost for a new plant, it will get sick because the soil is infected with a fungus. 

<center>![photo_2025-07-14_20-04-12.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zulfrontado/EoEsSY4ChoWjiEQWpagSJ6ea4mu9UDJNNsvxDaZuMiQZhp9EGSJR9X5bHbVMYvdLdcU.jpg)</center>

<center>![photo_2025-07-14_20-04-15.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zulfrontado/Eos2fqKJUzKpLCqhiEGLYDCC3aHijYY77hiuhPZU2LiyeiXjbPg1XSuZJR14rcgxyxv.jpg)</center>

I already threw mine away to avoid this problem. I also changed the soil in each pot to prevent the infection from returning when they're recovering.

That's why I'm sharing this with you, so you too can save your succulents from fungus this rainy season. Or, when the rains come to your country. Mine has had several tropical waves, and living on the coast means getting all this rain in our house.

I'm not complaining; it's a nice place to live. I just need to be much more attentive to my plants so this doesn't happen to me.

Although it can still happen, we're human, these things happen, and what we can do is take action to help our plants.

I never knew that cinnamon could work as a natural fungicide, You took good care of your succulents, even if its hard to cut them.

Great job taking quick action to save your succulents! The cinnamon trick is smart—natural and effective. Looking forward to seeing their recovery.

Whoa! I didn't know that cinnamon can be a lifesaver for plants. That's new learning for me. Thank you for sharing. Hope your succulent grows healthier this time. Be waiting for the update.

Cinnamon and aloe vera are natural fungicides. I didn't use aloe vera because they're dwarf aloe vera plants, but if not, I would, and it would work quite well.
