Care 

How do you care for a cinnamon plant? 

Your cinnamon plant thrives with bright, direct sunlight and well-draining soil that stays consistently moist during growing seasons. It prefers warm temperatures between 68-86°F. Re-pot annually and use gentle, balanced fertilization for optimal health and aromatic development.

Place your cinnamon tree less than a foot from your brightest window (south-facing is perfect) and water every 1-2 weeks when the top inch of soil feels dry. She's wonderfully forgiving, but like many tropical plants, she has strong preferences about her lighting needs. We're always here to help you get the balance just right.


What climate does cinnamon grow in? 

The cinnamon plant naturally flourishes in hot, humid tropical climates with temperatures between 68-86°F and high humidity levels, preferring abundant rainfall while tolerating brief temperature drops to near freezing when necessary for winter survival and healthy dormancy periods.

You can mimic this climate by keeping your home 68° and above, watering regularly, and misting often. 


Do cinnamon trees like sun or shade? 

Cinnamon trees absolutely need full sun, requiring 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and the development of those wonderful aromatic oils that make their foliage so beautifully fragrant and appealing to indoor plant lovers everywhere.

If you don’t have 6 hours of direct sunlight indoors, 12-14 hours of indirect sunlight also works. You may need to supplement with full-spectrum LED grow lights. Young plants can manage some partial shade at first, but as your cinnamon tree plant matures, it really craves bright, abundant sunshine to reach its full potential.


Do cinnamon trees need a lot of water? 

Cinnamon plants prefer consistently moist but well-draining soil, needing water every 1-2 weeks depending on temperature, humidity, and how much bright sunlight they're receiving daily in your home environment throughout the growing season for healthy development.

More warmth and brightness mean your plant will drink more frequently, while cooler conditions call for backing off the watering to prevent any root issues. It's all about reading your plant's signals and adjusting accordingly - something that becomes second nature once you get to know each other.


What is the lifespan of a cinnamon tree? 

Cinnamon trees can live 20-30 years with proper care, reaching maturity for potential bark harvesting after approximately 5-7 years of loving cultivation and optimal growing conditions. That would include adequate sunlight, consistent watering, and appropriate temperatures for healthy development.

This makes your cinnamon plant a wonderful long-term companion that will grow alongside you through the years. With consistent care including adequate sunlight, proper watering, and suitable temperatures, you're investing in a relationship that can span decades of aromatic enjoyment.


What fertilizer should I use on my cinnamon plant? 

Cinnamon plants benefit from balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied at half strength during spring and summer growing seasons. Most quality potting soils provide adequate nutrients for healthy development, growth, and aromatic oil production throughout their lifetime.

Skip feeding entirely during fall and winter months when your plant naturally slows down its growth. We find that less is often more with these beauties - they prefer gentle, consistent nutrition rather than heavy feeding that might overwhelm their roots.


Where’s the best place to put my cinnamon plant indoors? 

Position your cinnamon plant less than one foot from your brightest, sunniest window, ideally south-facing, since these tropical beauties cannot tolerate low-light conditions and absolutely need maximum brightness for healthy growth and aromatic foliage development indoors.

Your cinnamon tree really does need that prime spot with the best light in your home. Think of it as giving her the room with the best view - she'll reward you with healthy growth and that wonderful fragrance that makes having a cinnamon plant so special.


How tall can a cinnamon plant get? 

Cinnamon plants reach 10-15 feet indoors, though they can grow up to 60 feet in their natural wild habitat, growing at a moderate pace that won't overwhelm your space. You can enjoy watching it develop over time.


Pet-friendly?

Your Cinnamon Plant is generally safe around pets in small amounts, but eating too much can cause vomiting and diarrhea. While not highly toxic, it's wisest to keep this aromatic beauty where curious pets can't turn it into a snack.


Are cinnamon plants toxic to cats?

Cinnamon plants pose minimal toxicity risk to cats, though felines lack the liver enzymes needed to properly process cinnamon compounds found in the plant's foliage, so positioning plants away from curious cats is always recommended for safety.

Eating larger amounts could potentially cause vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and liver stress in cats. The safest approach is positioning your cinnamon plant where curious paws can't reach - maybe on a high shelf or in a room your kitty doesn't frequent.


Are cinnamon plants poisonous to dogs? 

Cinnamon plants aren't poisonous to dogs, but eating large quantities of leaves could cause mild mouth irritation and digestive upset, though the overall risk remains quite low for most healthy pets in typical household situations and environments.

While there's minimal danger, it's always good practice to discourage pets from treating your houseplants like their personal salad bar. A little prevention keeps both your furry friends and your beautiful plants happy and healthy.


Factoids

Are cinnamon trees invasive? 

Some cinnamon tree varieties can become invasive in tropical regions like Hawaii where birds and water spread seeds quickly, though Cinnamomum verum grown indoors rarely flowers or produces fruit. Indoor cinnamon plants pose no invasive risk.


How much cinnamon do you get from one tree?

A mature cinnamon tree can produce several kilograms of usable bark over its lifetime, though indoor cinnamon plants rarely reach the size needed for meaningful harvest. Instead you get to smell cinnamon all year round without the work!


Can you harvest cinnamon without killing the tree? 

You can harvest cinnamon without killing the tree, but it’s tricky. Carefully remove the branches and peel off the inner bark while leaving the main tree intact. This keeps the plant healthy so new branches can grow for future harvests.


What part of a cinnamon tree is used as a spice? 

The beloved cinnamon spice comes from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, which is carefully peeled, dried, and naturally curls into those familiar quills we see in stores. Your new tree will share some DNA with your spice cabinet!

Great Reading, Mind Opening
Format: Kindle
This is a terrifically interesting and entertaining book, which presented me with at least two blockbuster ideas that changed the way I think about the past. I'll get to those in a minute, but first a few general points. Charles Mann is a science journalist:who seems to specialize in BIG topics. His 2005 book ("1491", which argues that the pre-Columbian population of the Americas was much larger and more sophisticated than generally assumed), was very well received. I enjoyed it so much, and thought it so valuable a book, that I was very anxious to read "1493". "1493" lived up to my (high) expectations. Mann is remarkable writer, with an extraordinary ability to present very complex facts and ideas in way that's not just accessible to the lay reader, it's fun for the lay reader. This isn't to say that the book isn't carefully researched -- the text is followed by almost 100 pages of footnotes, and throughout he cites and acknowledges the scientists and others from whom he has drawn information. It's just that Mann manages to combine a myriad of facts and hypotheses into a compelling narrative. And he often puts this in very concrete terms, focussing on individual people, commodities or events. It adds up to a fascinating read. It is also a very important one, with implications for the future as well as about the past. Mann's subject in this book is the Columbian Exchange, the sudden movement of plants, microbes, animals and people between the eastern and western hemispheres after Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. A well known effect of this was the eastern hemisphere adoption of western hemisphere foods (tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and on and on). Another effect that's only been recently come to be widely understood is the devastating impact on the pre-Columbian population of the Americas; as many as 80% died in the epidemics that followed the introduction of diseases to which they had no immunity. But the population die-off and the exchange of plant species are not the only effects of the Columbian Exchange. Mann's book explores the myriad ways in which the Exchange -- globablization -- has shaped the world of today. Two things I learned from the book struck me particularly. First, like most Americans of my generation (older) I learned in school that the colonization of the Americas was carried out by white people, who moved into a largely uninhabited continent. "1491" took care of the uninhabited: "1493" takes care of the white. Mann says that from 1500 to 1840, about 3.4 million white Europeans emigrated to the Americas. Over the same period, about 11.7 million captive Africans were sent to the Americas. Except for New England, much of the United States and most of Latin American was far more black than white. (And probably in 1840 still more Indian/Native American than anything else). The racial balance changed as white immigration ramped up and as millions upon millions of blacks died too young, but the picture of early America looks very different to me now. Secondly, Mann discussed at length the 19th century ecological disaster that engulfed China. I had always assumed that the floods that killed so many millions in China had always happened, and were the result of geography. There have indeed always been floods, but their severity and human cost grew logarithmically in the 19th century. New crops led to more food and to rising population growth, and at the same time to more potential cash crops, increasing the pressure on existing land holdings, and leading to vast land clearances. That made the floods far worse when they came, undermining the political structure and compounding China's problems. This was interesting not just a light on the past, but as a warning signal for the future. The review is already too long, so, to sum it up: Great book!! Read it!! Give it to friends and family!!

LOVED This Read! Blew Me Away
Format: Hardcover
What a fantastic read! Woah. All of the Americas have an extraordinary history. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. If you like knowing your history, you will love this book. Well researched and smartly written. Couldn't put it down. Books like this are why people love to read. If you think you know the Americas, you might be surprised to find that there's more, and be prepared for a bit of a shake up. This book was a real eye opener.

A Brave New World
Format: Hardcover
It wasn't quite what I expected, but Charles Mann leads the reader on a fascinating journey in the wake of Columbus, focusing mostly on the environmental impact of his "discovery" of the New World. Mann literally spans the globe, as the establishment of Spanish colonies in the Americas would have far reaching consequences. Most interesting to me was how silver came to be the currency of exchange, allow Spain to trade with China, when it established its trading outpost in the modern-day Philippines. Along with silver, came corn, rubber and potatoes which would radically alter the landscape of the world. Mann discusses how corn came to replace rice for many Chinese, and how rubber trees would be transplanted to Indochina, bringing with them unsuspected pests that would wreak havoc on ecosystems. In this sense, the book has similarities with Jared Diamond's but explores different terrain. One of the most interesting chapters was on the highly profitable mining of bird guano and how the British cornered the market in this new fertilizer. Mann describes how the shift to mono-cultures had a tremendous impact on agriculture. At first, these new crops seemed to solve much of the world's food shortages, but then as the Irish famine made all too painfully aware, putting all your "eggs in one basket" can lead to devastating consequences as an unforeseen blight wiped out much of Ireland's food supply. Mann also offers a long study on how slavery evolved and re-shaped the ethnic identity of many countries, particularly those in Central and South America. The miscegenation that took place, with particular focus on Brazil, reshaped cultural patterns and changed the political dynamics in these countries. He offers a number of intriguing case studies, and discussed the long term impact of this human cross-pollination. 1493 is a fascinating study and meditation on life after Columbus. We don't fully realize how rapidly the world changed after this fateful "discovery," and how continents became so interdependent, where before they had been relatively isolated from each other.

Consequence After Consequence
Format: Hardcover
"In Fourteen Hundred Ninety Two, Columbus Sailed The Deep Blue Sea" is a ditty sung by generations of school children. Most of those students learned and believed that Columbus was the only man in Europe who believed the world was round and proved it by sailing three ships west to find the East. In 1493, Charles C. Mann dismisses these legends and goes on to demonstrate that Columbus (or as he refers to him, Colon) and the other Europeans who sailed across the Atlantic in the 1400s and 1500s did far more than just discover a New World, they helped create a planet wide system in which people, plants, animals, and diseases travelled further and were linked in more ways than had ever before been possible. In other words, 1493 was the beginning point of a new age of globalization. This is not a new theory. Alfred W. Crosby developed the term Columbian Exchange back in the 1970s to describe the changes that took place after 1492. Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse also detailed some of the consequences of the European "discovery" of the Americas. What makes Mann's new book so appealing is his ability to tell an engrossing story that ably explains how one consequence led to another, fundamentally changing society after society and helping to creat our modern world. This is global history at its best, jumping from Ming and Qing China's opulent but troubled societies to the fast growing but still relatively backwards European states to the myriad African and Native American cultures, all of them to be affected by the transfer of peoples, plants, diseases, and ideas. Mann has a keen eye for an appealing and informative anecdote which really details the consequences of seemingly small decisions, such as how the introduction of the sweet potato to China led to deforestation, or how the Little Ice Age was affected by the abandonment of the Native American practice of burning off underbrush in North American forests. Its books like 1493, as well as Mann's earlier and equally excellent 1491, which make studying history so fascinating. I taught Advanced Placement World History to high school students for many years before retiring, and I regularly amused them (at least I hope I did) with many references to Jared Diamond and Alfred Crosby's ideas. With 1493 Charles C. Mann deserves equal recognition by global historians.
