What are the best days to replant indoor plants? Transplanting flowers according to the lunar calendar - general rules of use

It is usually recommended to replant indoor plants in early spring when they begin to awaken from hibernation. Emerging sprouts or buds can serve as evidence of a flower’s readiness to leave its “home” place. Under no circumstances should you replant a plant at rest or at the moment of flowering.

However, some representatives of the plant world are not particularly sensitive to seasonal changes. If your pet is happy with the inflorescences all year round, you can change his “apartment” soon after he has finished blooming.

Whether a flower needs replanting can be determined by the following signs: it has stopped growing; leaves and flowers have become noticeably smaller than before; the plant withers and turns yellow for no apparent reason.

But there is more reliable way understand whether it is time to change the substrate and increase the size of the dishes. Gently cover the soil with your palm, passing the stem between your fingers, and turn the pot over (do not do this immediately after watering; wait until the soil dries and spread a newspaper on the floor). If the lump of earth does not come out of the pot, lightly tap it on the corner of the table. When examining a large specimen, move the soil away from the edges of the container with a wide knife or a special spatula.

Your task is to examine root system. If it has grown so much that it fills the entire space, it’s time to increase the size of the pot. It is worth replanting the plant even if you notice darkened and softened roots. The affected areas should be removed, and the cut areas should be sprinkled with charcoal.

What time of day is it best to replant indoor plants?

It is believed that the best time of day for replanting flowers is from 16.00 to 20.00. It is not recommended to replant flowers in the early morning (when they have not yet woken up) or at noon (when the phase of greatest activity begins). According to the lunar calendar, the first days after the new moon are chosen for transplantation. For determining specific day When replanting, you can use the lunar calendar for gardeners.

Lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers for 2017 will help determine the most favorable days for planting and replanting plants.

During various manipulations with home flowers, they are easily damaged. Broken roots, scratched cuticles, broken stems or torn leaves are all stress for the plant, which can be reduced by following the recommendations of the lunar calendar.

The influence of the Moon on the planetary movement of water has long been known; sea ebbs and flows are determined by the position of the Earth's satellite. Living organisms are also subject to lunar influences. In plants, the preferential direction of sap flow depends on its phases.

The dates indicated in the lunar calendar as suitable for transplanting and planting plants fall during the period of movement of juices to upper parts flower - stems and leaves. At this time, turgor in the root system decreases, the cells become slightly dehydrated and become less brittle. Thanks to this, they tolerate replanting more easily and take root in the new soil faster.

The migration of water into the leaves occurs during the waxing of the moon. On the waning moon, the roots are filled with moisture and should not be disturbed.

By checking the lunar calendar before starting work in your home or office greenhouse, it will be easier to grow healthy and blooming indoor garden.

The exception is when the plant requires an emergency transplant: pests have appeared, the pot has broken or the stem has broken. Then he needs to be rescued urgently, there’s no timetable.

Transplanting plants that have bloomed is undesirable even on favorable days of the lunar calendar. After this, the plant may become sick for a long time and it will take a lot of effort to cure it.

It is convenient to check the detailed calendar, which indicates favorable and unfavorable favorable numbers every month so that your indoor garden will delight you with a riot of greenery and fragrant flowers.

House flowers need regular replanting. There are several reasons:

The root system “grows” out of the previous flowerpot and the ground rises, making watering difficult.
The accumulation of hardness salts in the soil from irrigation water, which makes it difficult for the plant to feed.
Depletion of the soil, decomposition of its organic component, which makes fertilizing less effective.
Compaction of the soil, leading to oxygen starvation of the roots.

April warming and an increase in daylight hours are favorable for resuming work with house plants.

Anyone who has been interested in growing any plants, including indoor plants, is well aware of how much their life depends on the lunar cycle. So that you can grow beautiful flowering plants on his windowsill, turning it into a real, albeit not too large, garden, and a special lunar calendar for flower growers was created, where not only the phases of the Moon are indicated with maximum accuracy, but also the days when planting, grafting, sampling of plants should be carried out, when they can be replanted and watered, and when it is best to leave them alone. And these are not just someone's fantasies.

The fact is that, depending on the phase of the moon, metabolic processes occur differently in plants and their biochemical activity manifests itself differently, even the speed of movement of the juice is significantly different. That's why it's given like this great importance Lunar calendar of indoor plants.

The plant lunar calendar helps to use herbs correctly. Modern cooking involves the use of fresh and dry herbs in wholesome and healthy foods. The use of herbs is not burdensome, they are at hand all year round.

Lunar calendar of plant collection

Many herbs can be grown on summer cottage, on the balcony and just in pots on the windowsill in a city apartment. Herbs will create a pleasant atmosphere in the apartment, and they can be successfully eaten at any time of the year.

Choose herbs that grow locally.

And in order for the herbs to be brought maximum benefit, it is necessary to know not only their properties, but also best conditions for collection, drying and storage.

Largely a success traditional healers is that they comprehended the secret forces of Nature, unraveled the “secret” of herbs. People who are especially sensitive to plant energy are able to sense a force field medicinal herbs.

This may seem surprising to you, but sometimes a healing effect is achieved just by looking at a plant or by inhaling its scent. Sometimes it's enough just to be near medicinal plants, be it a herbal pad, an amulet, aromatic oil and so on.

We should especially talk about making the right choice time of collection, processing and use medicinal plants in harmony with the lunar rhythms.

About the correct timing when using food and medicinal herbs

Moon phase and plant collection

Lunar calendar of plants. Having information about the influence of the position of the Moon on the collection, processing and storage of herbs, you can make supplies for the winter so that these natural energy stations are at hand at any time.

It is very important to consider whether you are collecting herbs for immediate or long-term use, as different time The effect of herbs is different and the drying process takes place differently, which can be regulated by choosing the right time for collection and storage.

Herbs not intended for immediate use should be collected before the full moon, on the full moon itself, or during a debilitated moon.

Herbs collected during a debilitated Moon do not have very high therapeutic effect, but they are much better than those collected during the young moon, which dry out poorly, quickly become moldy and rot.

Plants may have different drying periods, so please note that the drying process of herbs collected during the young Moon should also include the period of the debilitated Moon.

Before storing herbs, check: if the herbs do not rustle or break when both the period of the detrimental Moon and the new moon have already ended, then they are not intended for long-term storage, they should be used as quickly as possible.

When drying and storing herbs, you must carefully observe all necessary rules. It would be a great pity if, as a result of an error or negligence, the harvested herbs become unusable.

Dry herbs in the shade, turning them frequently. Can be used as a pallet natural material, well permeable to air, but not metal or foil.

You should transfer herbs into jars or bags during a debilitated Moon, regardless of when you collected them.

Under no circumstances should you transfer herbs during the young moon: they will begin to rot very quickly. On Virgo days, you should not collect herbs, even if this happens during a debilitated Moon.

To store herbs, use paper bags, pouches, dark glass jars - the plants will remain dry in them, the light will not have a harmful effect, and both the aroma and healing powers. Some herbs, both medicinal and food (for example, parsley, marjoram, thyme, lovage), are best stored tied in bunches and hung upside down in a well-ventilated place.

This is best done with herbs that dry quickly, because this way they will not start to rot. Herbs that you use frequently can be hung and plucked as needed.

More detailed information about the rules of collection, drying, storage medicinal herbs can be found in numerous herbal reference books.

Herbs retain the energy of Nature, which naturally enriches our body, they are necessary elements systems proper nutrition. In maintaining healthy image In life, we must not neglect the laws of Nature and its gifts, since man himself is a part of nature.

It’s just very important not to forget: plant materials cannot be collected within the city or near highways, after rain. Herbs, flowers and roots must be environmentally friendly.

All more people prefer herbal tea. Not only because it has therapeutic effect, but also simply because it is very tasty. Of course, both the effect and taste of herbs are best if they are consumed freshly picked.

But we also need to think about the long winter, when a person is especially vulnerable to various diseases. Rules for drying, canning and storing herbs: plant parts should be placed in a warm, dark place on wooden board or paper and turn over from time to time.

During the waning moon, divide into containers. Do not use metal containers under any circumstances. As you already know, herbs do best in dark glass containers or paper bags.

The moon plays a huge role in the life of living organisms on Earth. It is capable of “moving” huge bodies of water in the seas and oceans through the ebb and flow of the tides. Human, animal and plant organisms are largely composed of water, so their biorhythms are associated with the cycles of the Moon. Humanity has been watching this for a long time celestial body. For many generations, people have been passing on to each other knowledge about the influence of the Moon on the development of all living things. A lunar calendar for indoor plants can become an assistant in successful floriculture; you just need to understand some patterns.

How the Moon affects indoor plants

The biorhythms of all plants directly depend on the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, leading to the change of day and night, and seasons. Indoor flowers are no exception. Their cyclical nature life processes It is also associated with the passage of the Moon through 12 zodiac signs per lunar month (29-30 days). Lunar energies influence periods of growth and rest plant organisms, the direction of movement of their juices, the ability to accumulate nutrients.

Moon phases

As the Moon moves through its orbit, it illuminates the Earth in different ways. These periodically changing states of illumination are cyclical in nature and are called phases of the moon. A new moon is the position of the Moon when it is located on the same line between the Earth and the Sun. This is the time when our planet's satellite is not visible in the sky. During a full moon, the Moon appears as a full, luminous disk. Its influence on the life of plants is taken as a basis when compiling lunar calendars for indoor plants.

Moon phase	influence on the plant
Waxing Crescent (first, second lunar phase)	There is a movement of juices from the roots to the leaves, flowers, and fruits. The period is characterized by high activity of green organisms and active growth. Nutrients are collected by its above-ground part. It is recommended to sow seeds, abundant watering, replanting crops, rooting cuttings, dividing the bush, and loosening the soil.
Full moon	Vitality reach their maximum value. The plant organism has absorbed all available to it useful material. Planting long-germinating seeds is favorable. At this time, thinning, watering, mineral supplement, spraying.
Waning moon (third, fourth lunar phase)	There is a gradual decline in vital activity, the level of cell fluid decreases, and there is an outflow of nutrients to the roots, accumulated during the process of photosynthesis. Rooting and preparation for forcing bulbs and tubers are favorable. Pruning is done to slow down growth. Spraying with drugs against diseases and pests is effective. It is recommended to limit watering.
New moon	All the power is concentrated in the root system, the body needs rest, it is preparing for a new cycle. During this period, it is not recommended to touch the plant. Any manipulation will negatively affect the condition of the flowers. A good day to fight diseases and pests.

The moon, making its move across the sky, spends some time in one or another zodiac sign. Astrologers know about the lunar influence on physiological processes living organisms and make up lunar calendars for indoor plants. The Earth's satellite is in each of the 12 zodiac signs for 2-3 days, influencing in a certain way the biorhythms of living beings. Zodiac signs are distinguished:

"Fertile." They are named so because crops planted or sown at this time grow quickly and produce high yields. These are: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus (partly) and Libra.
"Barren." On days when the Moon is in these signs, you should not plant crops in floriculture and agriculture, or sow seeds. This is recorded in the lunar calendar for indoor plants. It is noted that seedlings will be “unfriendly” and painful when the Moon is under the influence of Leo, Sagittarius, Aries.
Signs of average “fertility”: Capricorn, Virgo, Gemini, Aquarius.

For centuries, humanity has collected bit by bit information about the germination, development, growth, and fertility of plants. The lunar calendar indicates the position of the Moon in a particular zodiac constellation and its influence on crops grown by humans:

Aries. Characterized by intensive growth of new shoots.
Calf. Harvest during this period it is stored for a long time without spoiling.
Virgo. There is rapid germination and excellent survival rate of plants during transplantation.
Scales. The fruit pulp is filled with juice, the flowers are especially fragrant these days, the representatives are resistant to pests and diseases flora maximum.
Scorpio guarantees cultivated crops planted during this period resistance to infections and long-term storage fruits
Sagittarius promotes education large quantity seeds and a long stem to the sprouts planted in his days.
Capricorn is rightfully considered a fertile sign. He gives excellent harvest, resistance of plant organisms to frost, drought, and disease.
Cancer promotes a bountiful harvest, which is poorly stored. The seeds are of poor germination.
Twins. The yield is not high, but has a long shelf life.
Aquarius, Leo are good for collecting seeds.
Fish. Agricultural crops planted on this day have high yields. Harvesting should not be planned for these days: the storage period is short, the fruits spoil quickly.

Seasonal differences individual characteristics crops, temperature, air humidity provide for different levels of water consumption by flowers. Increased watering and spraying are necessary when:

a period of active flower growth begins;
crops have thin and tender leaves (Dieffenbachia, asparagus, etc.)
the pot has a small volume of relatively green above-ground mass of the flower;
the home garden is indoors with central heating;
a ceramic pot is used to grow a flower;
culture originating from wetlands (water fern, scirpus).

Watering will be effective if it is carried out on “watery” days, when the Moon is under the signs of Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio. It is not recommended to water and spray flowers on the “airy” days of Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini. This may result in green pets being attacked by pests. The lunar calendar provides the necessary information about favorable days necessary actions for caring for indoor flowers.

Favorable days for replanting indoor flowers

The right time is an advance for a successful transplant. Replant healthy, strong plants.

Suitable season, spring - summer. It is then that most indoor plants are at the peak of their vital activity: they grow rapidly, turn green, and receive enough sunlight and warmth.

A prosperous time is often determined by the location of the Moon. How does the Moon affect indoor flowers? What is it good to know to manage your calendar?

The sap and energy of plants, like the waters of the world's oceans, are responsive to the location of the earth's satellite. They rush towards the growing moon along the stems from bottom to top. From the roots to the leaves on the top of the head. At full moon saturation occurs nutrients aboveground part. On the waning Moon, a reverse movement occurs towards the roots. During the new moon, everything is concentrated in the underground part.

Transplantation is not performed during the periods:

new moon, full moon;
two days before and after them;
Solar and Lunar eclipses.

An important role is played by the location of the Earth's satellite in the signs of the Zodiac. The best signs for transfer work are:

Virgo;
Capricorn;
Calf;
Fish;
Scales.

It is not advisable to rely only on the lunar calendar. For example, do not replant flowering or ready-to-bloom plants, even on the best day.

How to properly replant indoor flowers - technology and tips

All indoor plants are divided into families. Are different appearance, characteristics, needs. This is taken into account when transplanting.

Green spaces grow in artificially created conditions and require regular saturation with nutrients. Changing the soil, cultivating the root system, and increasing capacity contribute to this.

Transplanted indoor plantings regularly. Young, fast growing plants every year. Adult specimens according to classification. For example:

violet - annually;
ficus - once every six years;
azalea - in three years.

Land for planting is one of the important elements. The best option- blank. They take fertile layers of turf and mix them with peat, leaf, manure, and pine humus. Add sand in a ratio of 1/10.

Such soil can be light - the bulk is humus, or heavy, with a predominance of clay.

Plants with thin or weak root systems are transplanted into light soils. Fast-growing plants are neutral (the amount of turf and humus is equal). Heavy soils are intended for specimens with powerful, thick roots.

Take into account the individual needs of green pets. Orchids are planted in acidic soils consisting of peat, moss, and roots.

The next step is choosing a container. Choose:

by form;
material;
sizes.

The best shape is considered to be a cut-off cone. Pots are often selected when the top diameter is equal to the height. The holes for water drainage are of normal size.

When replacing the container with a larger pot, the difference in diameter is no more than two cm.

The nuances are related to the view indoor flower. Orchids require a tall, narrow container, preferably transparent. A low, wide pot is suitable for azaleas.

Expanded clay, pebbles, and clay shards are used as drainage. Cover the drainage with a small layer of moss to avoid clogging.

The transplant technology is as follows:

Take out a plant prepared for transplanting. It is carefully knocked out using a wooden blade. It is undesirable to pull the stems and branches, which can seriously harm them. Use the same blade to shake off excess soil. The original lump should shrink by a quarter of its size. Small felt roots are trimmed.
The drainage is sprinkled with prepared soil. Holding it, lower the plant in the middle of the container. Fill the gap with soil, compacting it with a wooden spatula.
They suggest not deepening the root collar, leaving it at the same level as before. This promotes better adaptation and eliminates rotting.
Check the compaction of the soil by lifting the plant by the trunk. If it rises with a pot, good.
After transplanting, water. Place it in a place protected from direct rays.

When replanting plants due to damage to the earthen coma, diseased roots are cut off. The cut area is treated with fine coal. The pot is taken with a smaller diameter. A pinch of coal is added to the ground.

If pests or diseases are detected, a complete transplant is carried out. The roots are freed from the soil and washed. Everything infected and diseased is cut off and treated.

Rarely replanted plants need to renew the top layer of soil. It is removed by 2-4 cm and freshly filled.

Replanting indoor flowers in autumn (September, October)

Autumn is an unfavorable time for transplantation work. Plant biorhythms slow down and daylight hours are shortened. The humidity in the room decreases and the temperature fluctuates.

Having eliminated these factors, the transplant is carried out using conventional technology.

Increase daylight hours by lighting. Turn it on for the required time, at the same hour.
Air humidity is increased by spraying plants with lukewarm water. Use trays with wet moss. Or install it near a container of water.
Eliminate drafts and support constant temperature air.

Replant indoor plants in autumn period, as a rule, experienced flower growers.

For regular care and attention, green pets will delight you with a beautiful view, lush flowering, bright fruits.
