In this week's episode, the Flora Fellas cover the first installment of a recurring segment that will take a deeper look at plant trends on social media and information from an endless barrage of ".com's." They find find out if there is actually any scientific validity to these DIY treatments and home remedies that are being promoted for houseplants and gardening and whether or not they actually work. The first segment of "We'll do the research so you don't have to!" addresses the use of cinnamon as a household remedy for fungal issues on houseplants. Can it actually help your plants? Ethan took a dive into the scientific journals to find out. Enjoy!
