growing mold, will cinnamon help?

#SmallBallmoss my little baby air plant is starting to grow a little mold on the underside, i assume from too much moisture. i dried out the terrarium and sprinkled some ground cinnamon where i noticed the mold growing. is this correct and is the cinnamon okay for air plants?

I've heard that a 50/50 mix of "hydrogen peroxide 3%" & distilled water will help kill fungus. And the extra oxygen molecules will give the plant a little boost 😊
I've never heard of using cinnamon for this... 🤔 Interesting. Let us know how it works!
@WickedValkyrie i use cinnamon on all the normal soil plants for pest repellent and mold killer and it always works great! it also helps great with seedlings for creating new roots! i’ve never used it on an air plant but i’ll definitely let you know! :)
I also have used cinnamon. It works great! Just be sure not to use too much. A little dab will do ya.
