How does the moon affect indoor plants?
It is well known that all plants on Earth, including indoor plants, are subject to the solar calendar. In the autumn and winter periodthe movement of juices in the stems slows down, and plant care is minimal, while with the beginning of spring additional troubles come. And nevertheless, not only the usual calendar of seasons influences flowers in pots. You also need to take into account the 2017 florist's lunar calendar for indoor plants, which indicates suitable days for watering, transplanting and propagating indoor flowers.
Scientists have proven through experiments and observations that the Moon is responsible for the regular change in water levels in oceans, seas and rivers. The same effect is exerted on all fluids on Earth, including those found in plants. Therefore, in the first quarter of the moon, domestic and command plants are planted, propagated and transplanted - at this time, growth will be stimulated by the accelerated movement of juices along the stem. But to improve the root system, replenishment and fertilization of flowers, it is better to wait for the last quarter, when the movement of liquid begins to decline and all the power of the plant is concentrated underground.

Lunar calendar for indoor plants for 2017: care and transplant
Caring for indoor plants is tied not only to the lunar phases, but also to the position of the moon relative to the signs of the zodiac.
According to the gardener's calendar for 2017, indoor plants can be planted and transplanted on the growing Moon in Virgo - it is believed that this is the most favorable time: the plants will take well, they will not hurt for a long time and will soon take root. Also, periods when the Moon is in Taurus and Capricorn are considered favorable days for transplant work. It is good to plant indoor flowers in the days of Scorpio, Libra, Pisces and Gemini. But the Moon in Cancer will favor plant growth only in the last quarter.
- If you need to transplant tuberous and bulbous plants, use the days of the waxing moon in Capricorn and the waning moon in Scorpio.
- It is better to transplant curly flowers on the waning moon so as not to harm the stem, and do this when the moon is in Virgo and Sagittarius, but if you need to urgently transplant, and the moon is in the first quarter, wait until it is in Gemini.
- In order for the rooting of cuttings to be successful, do the work on the days of the moon in Scorpio and Capricorn (the phase of the moon does not matter). And on the waxing moon, the time of passage through the constellations of Libra, Aries, Cancer and Taurus will be favorable, in the waning - Pisces.
- Traditionally, houseplant seeds are sown on the growing Moon in Virgo, as this is the ideal time for germination and ensures that your plants are strong and sturdy. But you can also do crops on the waning moon, only on the days of Cancer and Scorpio.
- If you plan to prune or pinch indoor plants to form a crown later, wait for the waning Moon in Gemini or Aquarius.
Since the reproduction of indoor plants most often occurs by tearing off a shoot or leaf, it is best to do this on the waning moon, so that by the time of planting the leaf has time to put down roots. To do this, it must be placed in water and wait several days. The new moon period is ideal for this. But remember that not all plants reproduce in this way, if "babies" appear on your plant and you plan to plant them in new separate pots, be guided by general rule transplants. The same goes for if your plants reproduce by dividing the bush, just carefully detach the plant parts and place them in new pots.
Lunar calendar for watering indoor plants
In the lunar calendar 2017, a florist for Belarus is distinguished special days for watering indoor plants. Traditionally, watering should be carried out on the days of Water - Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio - with a 7-9-day break. And since in the summer plants need more moisture, you can additionally irrigate them on Earth days - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. But during this period, it is important to follow the basic rules for watering houseplants in pots: do not pour more than necessary, drain excess water from the sump, as stagnant water will lead to root rot.
On the days of Air - Aquarius, Gemini and Libra - it is strictly forbidden to water the plants, as they poorly absorb moisture and nutrients. And you need to be extremely careful when watering on the days of Fire - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius - it is better to do this after sunset so that the plant does not get burned.
Running water is suitable for irrigation, but first you need to let it settle for a day or two. This is important because the chlorine added to water purifiers can seriously damage the plant and cause a number of diseases and injuries. Watering the flowers from above, pour water near the edge of the pot so as not to expose the roots, if you pour into the pan, as required, for example, violets, try to check the water level after half an hour - too much moisture can harm. And if the plant has a funnel of leaves (leafy plant), put some water in there too.
It is also important to spray indoor plants. This is especially true for those whose homeland is located in the tropics, where the air humidity is much higher than in our latitudes. This should be done about once a week, but it is better to navigate by the dry air in the room. If you are not sure, you can install a special measuring device or substitute a pallet with wet expanded clay for especially capricious plants. Just watch the flower closely, you may be overdoing it and only harm it.
If you left for a long time and left your indoor flowers without watering, resuming the watering schedule according to the lunar calendar, that is, on the days of Water and Earth, will help restore them to a healthy look, but do not try to flood the plants, let everything be on schedule. Gradually, the flowers will "recede" and will delight you with a blooming and healthy look.
Also, once a month on the days of Water, preferably Pisces or Cancer, indoor leafy plants can be bathed and thoroughly washed. The lunar phase is not important here, since your task is to clear the dust from the leaves. Being constantly indoors, the flowers are covered with dust, like all objects, therefore, in order for the photosynthesis process to proceed without disturbances, the leaves of flowers must be periodically cleaned.
Houseplant lunar calendar: how to fertilize correctly
All indoor plants need to be fertilized, since they are constantly in the cramped space of their pot and cannot receive nutrients from the soil for a long time. Over time, she becomes poorer. Therefore, top dressing with a variety of fertilizers, first of all, enriches the soil, which helps to prolong flowering and increase the immunity of flowers to various pests and diseases.
When choosing fertilizers, please note that not all of them are universal and can be designed only for one type of indoor plants, while others will be poisonous. Since in most fertilizers the main components are phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, which are necessary for flowering plants, strengthening the root system and immunity, you can choose those fertilizers that contain additional minerals and trace elements.
It should also be borne in mind that such fertilizers are usually very concentrated and must be diluted with water. Instructions and proportions are usually on the packaging itself. And since it's all about water, and fertilization is best combined with watering and focusing on those days when the waning moon is in Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio. Fertilizers are contraindicated in winter, as well as in late autumn. This is best done in the spring and fall, before and after the flowering period. And if the plant does not take root well after transplanting or is sick for a long time, pour in an additional dose of fertilizer on the days of Taurus and Capricorn.

Favorable and unfavorable days for planting
Experts strongly advise against planting during the new moon. On this day, our natural satellite takes vitality and energy from all living beings on Earth in order to be reborn independently: that's why this process got its name - new moon, that is, the formation of a "new" moon.
If you want to plant plants growing upwards (wheat, flowers, cucumbers, etc.), then this should be done in auspicious days, namely the growing moon. But those crops that grow underground (root parsley, potatoes, beets, etc.) should be planted during the waning moon - this is the most beneficial time for their growth.

Loosening of the soil and sanitary pruning are also carried out as needed: if the soil in the pot does not dry out for a long time, the branches have dried out from a draft, etc. Other methods of care: top dressing, grafting, formative and rejuvenating pruning, transplantation, division, etc. should be postponed until the end of January, until the really bright days come. The exceptions are plants that are illuminated with lamps and continue to grow, bloom or bear fruit.

Note: do not take the grower's lunar calendar literally as a guide to action. If in October or January you see recommendations that “you can sow and plant some indoor plants” or “water and feed with organic feeding”, then know that only experienced flower growers can follow them and this applies only to plants in certain conditions. For example, fruiting indoor trees it is permissible to feed monthly even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours in autumn and winter (with additional lighting) can also be fed and even transplanted. Experienced florists can successfully propagate and re-root plants in winter, as well as sow seeds or carry out artificial pollination. In the general rules of plant growing, with the onset of autumn, cooling, reduction of daylight hours and light intensity, i.e. the transition of plants to the stage of dormancy or deceleration of development, feeding, transplanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures is strongly discouraged.
