In autumn and winter period The movement of juices in the stems slows down, and plant care is minimal, while with the onset of spring comes additional chores. And yet, not only the calendar of seasons familiar to us affects flowers in pots. It is also necessary to take into account the grower's lunar calendar 2017 for indoor plants, which indicates suitable days for watering, transplanting and propagating indoor flowers.

Scientists through experiments and observations have proven that the Moon is responsible for the regular change in the water level in the oceans, seas and rivers. The same effect is exerted on all liquids on Earth, including those found in plants. Therefore, in the first quarter of the moon, home and team 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, nourish and fertilize flowers, it is better to wait for the last quarter, when the movement of the liquid will decline and all the power of the plant will be concentrated underground.

As the grower's calendar for 2017 tells, indoor plants can be planted and transplanted to the growing Moon in Virgo - it is believed that this is the most auspicious time: plants will take well, will not be sick for a long time and will soon take root. Also, favorable days for transplant work include periods when the Moon is in Taurus and Capricorn. It is good to plant indoor flowers on the days of Scorpio, Libra, Pisces and Gemini. But the Moon in Cancer will favor the growth of plants only in the last quarter.

  • If you need to transplant tubers and bulbous plants, use the days of the growing 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, 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 the 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 in the growing 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 waxing Moon in Virgo, as this is the perfect time for germination and ensures that your plants are strong and robust. But you can also do crops in the waning moon, only on the days of Cancer and Scorpio.
  • If you're planning on trimming houseplants or pinching out 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 take root. To do this, it must be placed in water and wait a few days. The New Moon period is perfect for this. But remember that not all plants reproduce in this way, if “kids” appear on your plant and you plan to plant them in new separate pots, be guided general rule transplants.

Lunar calendar for watering indoor plants

In the lunar calendar 2017, a flower grower 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 summer the plants need more moisture, you can additionally irrigate them on the days of the Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. But during this period, it is important to follow the basic rules for watering home plants in pots: do not pour more than necessary, drain excess water from the pan, as stagnant water will lead to rotting of the roots.

On the days of Air - Aquarius, Gemini and Libra - it is strictly forbidden to water plants, as they do not absorb moisture well 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.

Suitable for irrigation running water, but first you need to let it settle for a day or two. This is important as the chlorine added to water purifiers can seriously damage the plant and cause a range of diseases and damage. When watering flowers from above, pour water at the edge of the pot so as not to expose the roots, if you pour into a pan, as violets require, for example, try to check the water level after half an hour - too much moisture can harm. And if the plant has a funnel of leaves (leaf plant), drop some water 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 humidity of the air is much higher than in our latitudes. This should be done about once a week, but it is better to focus on the dryness of the 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 carefully, you may overdo it and only harm it.

If you have been away 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 their healthy appearance, but do not try to flood the plants, let everything be on schedule. Gradually, the flowers will "depart" and will delight you with a blooming and healthy look.

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 fertilizer time is best combined with watering and focus on those days when the waning moon is in Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio.

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 top dressing”, then know that only experienced gardeners can follow them and this applies only to plants that are in certain conditions. For example, fruitful indoor trees it is permissible to feed monthly even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours (with additional illumination of lamps) in autumn and winter can also be fed and even transplanted. Experienced flower growers can successfully cut and re-root plants in winter, as well as sow seeds or carry out artificial pollination. In the general rules of crop production, 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 retardation of development, it is strongly not recommended to carry out feeding, transplanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures.
