The moon influences all living organisms on earth, this is noticeable by the ebb and flow of the tides. Indoor flowers and plants also depend on the influence of lunar rhythms, as they contain water. Are there favorable days for transplantation indoor plants? Let's consider in which phases of the moon it is best to transplant flowers, and when the tubers and root system should not be disturbed.
Since ancient times, people have noticed the impact of planetary biorhythms on the animal and plant world. Knowledge has been accumulated over the centuries that can help in the care of our beloved indoor flowers and plants. For example, in the first half lunar month(from new moon to full moon) vital juices go up - to the leaves and inflorescences. It is this time that is most favorable for transplanting plants.
Note! If you collect fruits from plants, then in the first half of the lunar month they will be the most juicy and tasty.
If a lemon or other tree grows in your house, you need to collect fruits only during the increase in the lunar disk. Hilling and loosening the soil is best done on full moon days. At this time, you can add soil to the bare roots, add fertilizer.
It is more correct to change the earth in flowerpots on the growing moon. Gardeners recommend to carry out this manipulation in the spring season (April-May), summer time (July-August) or autumn in auspicious time. If you need to change the earth in winter, this can be done in the month of December during the growth of the lunar disk.
However, the time of the growing moon must be distinguished from the new moon. A new moon is two days from the beginning of the lunar month when the disk is not visible in the sky. These days, the vital juices of flowers accumulate in tubers and roots, so they cannot be transplanted.
The new moon is ideal for forming the crown of bushes and cutting branches. On the new moon and on the waning moon, seeds are collected: in them is the concentration of the force of growth. Planting seeds collected at the specified time will ensure rapid germination and rapid growth of seedlings.
Lunar eclipses are a special time period. Flower transplantation and other manipulations are not allowed. Let the plant rest for a few days before and after the eclipse. It is believed that the influence of eclipses begins a few days before its onset and lasts for some time after.

Moon in the signs of the zodiac
The lunar disk is like through 12 signs of the zodiac, which exert their influence on the biorhythms of the night star. For gardeners, it is important to know the following information:
- waning Moon in Scorpio and growing in the sign of Capricorn - tubers and flower bulbs can be transplanted;
- waning Moon in Cancer and growing in air signs, Scorpio and Pisces - you can transplant decorative leafy plants;
- waning Moon in Sagittarius and Virgo, growing in Gemini - you can transplant vines and ampelous plant species.
Note! auspicious signs The zodiac signs for working with plants are Scorpio, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Pisces. Unfavorable signs are Aquarius and Leo.
If the moon passes through the constellation Aries, the plants do not perceive nutrients - top dressing is useless.
The Leo constellation is also not favorable for fertilizing, watering plants and treating pests.
It is best to plant seedlings and sow seeds when the growing moon passes through the constellation Virgo or the waning moon is in the constellations of Cancer or Scorpio.
Pruning and pinching is best done when the waning moon crosses the constellations of Gemini or Aquarius.
Unfavorable and neutral days
What can be done with plants in adverse lunar days? It is best to leave them alone, because any manipulation will bring stress to our pets. Especially unfavorable are the days of eclipses - both lunar and solar. Transplanting flowers at this time can simply destroy them.
What can you do on neutral days lunar calendar? At this time, you can feed the plants, spray with pesticides, water and loosen the soil. The plant may not survive radical changes. However, in emergency cases, the plant can also be transplanted on neutral days - if the flowerpot has broken or the plant has been attacked by pests.
Plants always delight us with their flowering and beauty of leaves. Proper care- the key to a long life of green beauties. Remember that transplanting flowers is best done in the warm season of the year: this time is completely favorable for working with soil and tubers.
If you need to transplant a flower in late autumn, you must strictly observe the lunar phases and take into account favorable days. In winter, it is not recommended to disturb the plants, their life processes are at rest.
If the plant is transplanted taking into account the change in the lunar phases, this will not bring stress to the tubers and twigs. Flowers take root faster in a new flowerpot and do not lose their attractiveness.
If you transplant a plant without taking into account the influence of the lunar phases, it can get sick and wither. Therefore, always check your action plan with the lunar calendar and the advice of specialist astrologers. Then your flowers will always delight with lush flowering and a healthy look.

Lunar calendar for transplanting indoor plants
Moon Tips: Planting new or transplanting old plants should be on the days when the moon passes into sign of Virgo with the growing moon. Also these days you can tear off shoots from plants for planting. Such reproduction of indoor flowers is very common, but not all shoots should be immediately planted in the ground. Some of them need to be in the water for the shoot to take root.
The cutting of the plant should not bloom, but should look healthy and full of energy. Sometimes a separate sheet is enough. Plants such as gloxinia, violet, begonia, tradescantia, ivy, balsam, are easily propagated by leaves that are previously placed in water. Chlorophytum propagated by "children" that appear on the plant after flowering. Such a baby takes root even without pre-soaking.
cacti and others succulents can also be propagated using cuttings, however, so that the plant does not rot, the torn stalk should be dried for a couple of days.
Another way to propagate plants is dividing the bush. In this way, plants such as cyperus, asparagus, spathiphyllum, pogonaterum. This method will allow you to immediately get several already mature plant bushes. The procedure for dividing the bush should also be done in Virgo days on the growing moon so that the plants take root quickly and grow well.

Lunar calendar for watering indoor plants
Moon Tips: Watering indoor plants is best in water days when the moon is in the following signs Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Thus, about 7-9 days pass between waterings.
There are some plants that require more frequent watering, so water them on other days as well, but it's best to avoid days of Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). These days, plants do not absorb nutrients well, water can stagnate in a pot and lead to decay. It should also be remembered that plants should be watered often in summer, less often in winter. cacti, for example, in winter you can generally water once a month, or even less often.
IN days of Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) water the flowers carefully in the early morning (in winter and autumn) and in the evening after sunset (summer and spring) so that the scorching sun does not cause burns. The same applies to spraying flowers.
You need to spray the flowers if the air in the room is very dry. Many modern indoor flowers came to us from the tropics, where the humidity is very high, so in a room with dry air, they can wither. Some flowers require moisture so much that they need to substitute a tray with wet expanded clay under the pot.
Spraying requires flowers such as cacti, succulents, orchids, arrowroot, ivy, tradescantia, ferns.
Do not spray plants such as violet, begonia, cyclamen.
Water the plants should be settled for several days tap water although some gardeners recommend watering flowers such as orchids, boiled water. IN tap water bleach is added to clean it, which adversely affects the flowers. In order for the chlorine to evaporate, it is enough to defend the water in an open container. 12-14 hours.
If the plant is being watered from above, water it near the edges of the pot, not to expose the roots. If a leafy plant has a funnel of leaves, pour some water into the center of the funnel. If the plant is watered from below, like a violet, gloxinia or orchid, then the water must be poured into a pan or immerse the pot in water for 30-60 minutes if the plants are severely dehydrated. If water remains in the pan a couple of hours after watering, it should be drained.
What to do, if you are going on vacation, and there is no one to water the flowers in your absence? For example, to keep flowers from drying out if you have to leave, use bucket of water and bandages. A bucket of water is placed in the middle of the room, and flower pots are placed around. Then the bandages are cut so long as to reach from the bottom of the bucket to the pot. One end of the bandage is lowered into the water, the other is stuck into the ground. This method allows protect the earth from drying out.
If your flowers do wither a little after you arrive, they usually come back to life quickly if you start them again. water properly on Water or Earth days. If you are going to leave again, it is better to find someone who can come to your house and water the flowers. Make a watering schedule based on the lunar calendar and give it to the person who will take care of your plants. Also prepare ahead of time. settled water for irrigation and spraying.

Lunar plant calendar: how to fertilize indoor plants?
All flower growers advise fertilizing indoor plants, since plants in cramped pots do not have the opportunity to receive those essential minerals and vitamins, which they receive during natural growth in the ground. Fertilizers help prolong flowering, strengthen the plant's immunity.
For some types of indoor flowers, for example, cacti or orchids, there are separate fertilizers, which are not recommended for other types of flowers. Eat universal fertilizers suitable for almost everyone deciduous plants in the house.
Typically, these fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus And potassium. Nitrogen avoids brittle leaves and stems; phosphorus has a positive effect on flowering, helps the root system grow; potassium supports immunity, provides resistance to various diseases and adverse environmental influences. Plants also require micronutrients such as iron, copper, zinc, manganese, molybdenum.
If you are buying ready-made fertilizers for flowers, pay attention to dosage and frequency of use. Usually these fertilizers are quite concentrated and diluted in in large numbers water.
Another important point in plant nutrition - these are contraindications. Usually fertilizers are used spring and summer, during growth. In winter, when the flower is usually at rest, it is better not to fertilize it. If the plant is sick, do not feed it with fertilizers. Try to feed only healthy plants. You can not make a very concentrated solution of fertilizer, so as not to harm the plant.
Moon Tips: Fertilize indoor plants should be on the waning moon and better in days of Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). This can be done at the same time as watering, by dissolving the fertilizer in the correct proportions in the water. At poor survival plants, you can fertilize them in days of Capricorn and Taurus.

You can get all the information you need about the technology of transplanting indoor plants in the calendar for gardeners. It indicates the time favorable for activities such as watering, fertilizing and changing the soil. The flowers transplanted these days take root easily and grow actively.
Receptions of the correct transplant
A potted flower transplant is required when the leaves wither, the soil becomes raised, and flowering disappears. More often than not, the soil needs to be replaced. A new pot should be taken about 4 cm larger than the previous one.
To remove the flower, gently moisten the soil and carefully remove the plant along with the soil. At the bottom of the new pot, lay out the drainage with a layer of about 1 cm. If the container is large, the layer thickness can reach up to 5 cm. The earth is poured from above in the form of a mound and the plant is strengthened.
About the most favorable days for transplanting indoor plants
It is impossible to place a flower in the sun, as well as fertilize immediately after the procedure. Transplantation should be done in the absence of flowering, taking into account a certain time of the year. The most suitable periods for this procedure are March-April and September-October. It should not be forgotten that any of the plants has individual characteristics, can bloom and grow actively at completely different times.
The best time to change soil is when the sap is moving towards the stem and leaves. Plants with reduced elasticity of the root system take root in the new soil. When transplanted, they are less prone to breakdowns and other negative effects.
We determine the optimal timing
It is recommended to change the flower soil in the growing phase of the moon. You can determine it by looking at a special lunar calendar. Experts recommend changing the soil at specific periods. These are the spring months - March and May, the summer months - July and August, the whole autumn without restrictions (on favorable days), from the winter months - December.
These tips are based on years of research. It is believed that on the dates mentioned, the change of habitat occurs less painfully, negative impacts are little perceived by plants.
What is the lunar calendar for transplanting indoor plants
It is compiled by specialist researchers in order to simplify the task of caring for representatives of the plant kingdom. The lunar calendar contains information on loosening, watering and other care. There are detailed descriptions of the days when the habitat of the flower should not be changed.
Compose it according to the lunar phases. If you follow the above recommendations, transplanting indoor plants according to the lunar calendar, your flower will not have problems getting used to the new pot. It will actively grow. There are also days in the calendar when any manipulations with plants are highly discouraged. The risk of damage during transplantation for a flower is quite high, and in order to avoid it, you should listen to the advice of specialists.
Below we provide a lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers for 2017.
Moon phases and our flowers
The state of the moon is considered a major factor influencing the process of growing flowers. The stem actively elongates and feeds on sap in the growth phase. When the celestial satellite is in the full moon phase, changing the habitat of the flower should be avoided. This is because the root system is currently actively feeding.
On the days of lunar eclipses, nature provides moments of rest and accumulation of strength. All living things are slowly reborn, and therefore work with the earth during this period is not recommended. It is on such data that astrologers rely when compiling a lunar calendar for transplanting indoor plants.
About the signs of the zodiac
When caring for plants, it is recommended to take into account which of the zodiac signs the moon is in at one time or another. Favorable signs include Scorpio, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Pisces. When the moon is "visiting" Leo or Aquarius, work with the earth is not recommended. All other signs, according to astrologers, do not have an active influence on flowers.
All of the above is quite understandable from a scientific point of view. After all, the position of the moon affects the state of the water, sea tides and tides. The nature of our entire planet, together with the process of vegetation growth, depends to a large extent on the lunar phases.
How does this happen
Those dates of the lunar calendar that are indicated as favorable days for transplanting indoor plants coincide with the period when the juice moves to the stem and leaves, that is, to the top of the flower. At the same time, the root system experiences a decrease in turgor, a slight dehydration of the cells, as a result of which they become less brittle. That is why transplantation under these conditions is tolerated as easily as possible, as is the process of taking root in new soil. Then you can successfully propagate flowers by cuttings, using the most auspicious days for transplanting indoor flowers.
What is described above coincides with the growth phase of the moon. When it decreases, the opposite happens - the roots are filled with moisture. IN given time they shouldn't be worried. Thus blooming and healthy looking indoor garden much easier to achieve by referring to the recommendations of the lunar calendar.
In an emergency
We do not consider cases where an emergency transplant procedure may be required. Pests can suddenly appear, pots sometimes break, and stems break. If it is necessary to urgently save a flower, of course, they no longer pay attention to the schedule. A similar procedure is recommended outside the plan and in case of crushing and yellowing of the leaves, prolonged absence flowering.
If the plant has bloomed, it is undesirable to transplant it even on one of the favorable days for transplanting indoor flowers. It is very likely that the green pet will get sick for a long time as a result, and it will be very difficult to cure it.
What to do at other times
There are also unfavorable days for transplanting and planting plants, as well as relatively neutral ones. This time can be filled with procedures of a less radical nature. We are talking about top dressing, loosening, watering, processing from pests. But on those dates that are indicated on the calendar as completely unfavorable, it is better to leave the flowers completely alone. No type of care at this time will benefit the plant.
The most unsuitable days for a transplant are those when lunar and solar eclipses (including partial ones) are observed. The vulnerability of flowers at this time is increased, and even the most minor injury can destroy the plant.
Why do you need a regular transplant
There may be several reasons for this:
1. Overgrown roots no longer fit in the usual container. The earth begins to rise, making it difficult to water.
2. Due to hard water, salts accumulate in the soil, making it difficult for the flower to feed.
3. The soil is depleted, its organic component decomposes. As a result, feeding does not give the desired effect.
4. Due to soil compaction, oxygen starvation of the roots occurs.
The function of indoor plants is not only decorative.
