Rootone with fungicide is clearly labeled as such. That's plain Rootone, it won't help.

Sulfur powder, sometimes called "flower of sulfur", can be purchased at any drugstore, pretty cheap.

I've never tried cinnamon, myself, after hearing about your experiences maybe I won't ever...

It's called bontone by bonide
Not rootone, but i haven't seen anything at the garden center that is sulfur powder and nothing that says' flower of sulfur" on it either :(
They really didn't have anything but what i already have....guess he's pretty screwed. But i refuse to use cinnamon again..i will not go down that mushy road again... guess he's screwed...But we'll see, if he doesn't make it at least he has a nice place to pass on instead of drowning in the stores reduced price rack.

I have good experience with cinnamon and garlic powder, but only when battling something living on top of my soil. I've never used it on a sick plant before.

How long has it been drying out with out any treatment. Most likely no point now it shoukd have scabbed over well by now, just pot it up in dry soil give it another week tgen water if your local temperatures allow you to or leave it until spring. No one puts fungacidal powders on them when they get damaged in the wild and they still survive.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

Drugstore - I said you can get sulfur at a drugstore, not the garden center.

Anyway, it's probably fine with nothing, fungicide is optional. You did a good job of cutting out all the infected tissue, from what I can see. It should heal just fine.
