Cinnamon is an excellent spice that is used in cooking to flavor desserts, foods, and drinks. It also has medicinal properties that make it very popular. If you want to have your own cinnamon tree at home, follow these simple steps. In no time you’ll have a cinnamon bush that you can use to prepare all your favorite recipes!

How to plant a cinnamon tree at home step by step

To get started, you’ll need to buy some cinnamon seeds. It’s best to buy it from a store that specializes in herbs or gardening, as cinnamon seeds aren’t sold in all pharmacies or supermarkets.

Once you have the seed, you should plant it in a pot with enough soil. The pot should be large enough to allow the tree to grow for years to come. If you don’t have a suitable pot, you can build one for yourself using a plastic drum.

The soil you use to plant the cinnamon tree should be rich in nutrients and moisture. If you don’t have a soil specially prepared for this, you can mix it with compost or humus.

Once you’ve planted the seed in the pot, cover the soil with a few inches of water. Let the water absorb and then leave it in a sunny spot.

Make sure to water the cinnamon tree daily, especially during the summer months. If it doesn’t rain much in your area, you can water it with a hose.

The cinnamon tree will start growing after a few months. When it is between two and three meters high, you can start using it in the kitchen. Enjoy!
