• Light

  Cinnamon trees need bright, direct light, so place them less than a foot from away from a south-facing or western window. They don't tolerate low light. In the summer, you can bring the plant outside to boost its growth, but you may need to keep it in a sheltered area to avoid scorching the leaves. When transitioning the plant from indoors to outdoors, give the leaves a few days to adjust to the brighter conditions.
  
  
• Water

  Water the plant thoroughly, but allow the top inch or a few inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Cinnamon trees don't like wet roots, and the soil can rot if it sits in water for too long.
  
  
• Humidity

  These trees prefer to grow in environments with humidity higher than 50%
