I would recomend that you include scientific names of the species also, common names can be confusing

Agreed^^^, I have no idea what plant you are talking about unless you are referring to the tree cinnamon comes from.

All are members of the genus Cinnamomum in the family Lauraceae. Only a few Cinnamomum species are grown commercially for spice. Cinnamomum verum (AKA C. zeylanicum), known as "Ceylon cinnamon" after its origins in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon),

Cinnamon as a rooting agent and growth stimulant​

Depending on the species, cinnamon can also be used to propagate cuttings. Apply a little ground cinnamon to the bottom of the cutting. This should accelerate the repair of the wound and stimulate root formation. In combination, these effects make cinnamon a great alternative to rooting hormones, which are, for various reasons, prohibited.

But be careful. Scientific studies indicate that cinnamon can inhibit the growth of certain plants, like tomatoes and garden cress. You should also be careful not to cause unintended negative effects on your plants while using cinnamon in the garden.

I never heard cinnamon promoted rooting, I heard that is a natural fungicide I use it for cacti cuttings

I have not heard of using cinnamon for cuttings either but I guess its use will be more for fungicide than for root promotion. I have not used it this way.
Always worth trying some side by side trials to see if claimed effectiveness is true in your situation.

Cactus guys and florists use a lot of cinnamon and honey..

There WAS a side-by-side growth test, done on rose cuttings... I'll look for it.
