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 observing this celestial body for a long time. 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. The cyclical nature of their life processes is also associated with the passage of the Moon through 12 zodiac signs per lunar month (29-30 days). Lunar energies influence the periods of growth and rest of plant organisms, the direction of movement of their juices, and 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	Vital forces reach their maximum value. The plant organism has absorbed all the beneficial substances available to it. Planting long-germinating seeds is favorable. At this time, thinning, watering, mineral fertilizing, and spraying are well tolerated.
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 the physiological processes of living organisms and compile 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. The harvested crop during this period is stored for a long time without spoiling.
• Virgo. There is rapid germination and excellent survival rate of plants during transplantation.
• Scales. The pulp of the fruit is filled with juice, the flowers are especially fragrant these days, and the resistance to pests and diseases of the plant world is maximum.
• Scorpio guarantees cultivated crops planted during this period resistance to infections and long-term storage of fruits.
• Sagittarius promotes the formation of a large number of seeds and a long stem for sprouts planted in its days.
• Capricorn is rightfully considered a fertile sign. It gives an excellent harvest, resistance of plant organisms to frost, drought, and disease.
• Cancer promotes a bountiful harvest that does not store well. 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.

Florist's lunar calendar for 2018

Flower growers know the wonderful feeling of being in touch with living nature, even in the small space of their own homes. Growing indoor plants brings great pleasure to people when their pets are healthy, full of energy and delight with their beautiful flowering. A great asset for a person who has devoted part of his life to flowers is a lunar calendar for indoor plants. To obtain excellent results in floriculture, astrologers advise using information about favorable floriculture periods of the lunar phases of 2018:

• January. From the 26th is the period of the waxing Moon, which is in the fertile signs of Taurus and Cancer. These are favorable days for planting indoor flowers. It is recommended to change the soil of mature crops and prepare cuttings for rooting for new seedlings.
• February is the beginning of the growing season for many indoor flowers after a period of dormancy. You can review and sort seeds for future planting, prepare soil and containers for annual crops. It is worth planting flowers such as petunias, snapdragons, and lobelias after March 17, according to the recommendations of the lunar calendar.
• March. From the 21st, you can safely start replanting adult indoor flowers into looser pots and flowerpots. Minor damage to the root system will be tolerated by the flowers painlessly. According to the lunar calendar, this time is characterized by the dominance of “water” zodiac signs.
• April. From the 1st to the 15th the Moon will decrease. This is a favorable period for the fight against diseases and pests. Flower stems should be trimmed to slow growth. After 04/17/18, you can resume transplanting green pets, if this procedure has not been carried out earlier.
• May. The first half of the month is devoted to fertilizing and planting bulbous crops in outdoor containers intended to decorate balconies and loggias. After the 16th is the right time to transplant annual flower seedlings.
• June is a suitable month for crown formation and cuttings of decorative indoor shrubs, such as hibiscus. Harvesting (trimming the tops of branches) and cuttings for planting material is best done after June 25. They continue planting pansies and forget-me-nots in open ground.
• July. All work to renew green crops has been completed. All that remains is to take care of your pets and admire your work. Watering, washing and cleaning plants is best done on zodiac “water” days: 3-4, 12-13, 20-22.
• August. The month begins on the 18th lunar day (Aquarius). This time does not imply active actions in relation to plants. You should limit yourself to loosening the soil and removing dry leaves. The formation of buds of flowering crops will depend on proper pruning of the stems. You should use the lunar calendar to choose the best period for these manipulations.
• September. The first lunar day falls on September 10, the Moon is under the sign of Virgo. The period has good energy for flower propagation. Gloxinia, begonia, and violet are easily propagated by leaves that need to be placed in water to form roots. The end of the month is a great time to transplant flowers.
• October. Autumn is coming into its own. Some plants are preparing for winter dormancy. The first ten days of the month requires limiting watering and spraying to a minimum. On October 9, during the new moon, the home garden must be provided with complete peace. The second and third ten days can be devoted to preparing for winter, which includes the last replanting of flowers this year.
• November. Succulents need to be given an artificial drought. In November and December they are watered once. Watering should be avoided in January and February. If there is insufficient natural light, light-loving indoor crops must be moved to south-facing window sills. The waxing phase of the Moon begins on November 7th. It is worth ensuring sufficient watering of flowers when the premises are centrally heated.
• December. Annual bulbous crops planted before December 7 will delight you with abundant flowering in the spring. From the second ten days of the month, special attention should be paid to orchids, which are beginning to prepare for flowering. The lunar calendar advises using this time to soak the seeds, which will have a positive effect on the germination of seedlings.

On what days can you replant indoor flowers?

To successfully transplant indoor flowers, along with seasonal changes and the characteristics of lunar days, it is necessary to take into account the individual qualities of each plant. For example, orchids bloom from October to April, a time when most indoor flowers are dormant during the winter months. In winter, not only should you not replant ornamental crops, but it is recommended to reduce watering to a minimum. Succulents stop watering altogether in winter.

Decorative foliage

Many types of houseplants have inconspicuous flowers, but they are valued for their decorative leaves. Indoor trees look very cute: coffee, tea, palm. Popular decorative foliage species are:

• asparagus;
• Dieffenbachia;
• dracaena;
• monstera;
• peperomia;
• ficus;
• chlorophytum.

Each such culture has its own biorhythms and requires an individual approach. All of them cannot tolerate high air temperatures, low humidity and direct sunlight. To increase humidity, it is recommended to place the flower pot on a tray with expanded clay type drainage, which is moistened from time to time. All decorative deciduous crops require special attention in early spring. Transplanting indoor plants according to the lunar calendar will give excellent results. In 2018, the best dates for this are (the zodiac sign through which the Moon passes is indicated in brackets):

• March: 8-10, 22-23;
• April: 4-6, 19-20;
• May: 2-3, 16-17;
• September: 30
• October: 6-7
• November: 2-4

Bulbous and tuberous indoor plants

House flowers with bulbous and tuberous roots bloom very beautifully. Their distinctive feature is that after flowering, these crops require a period of rest at low temperatures. Some species require that tubers and bulbs be stored in the winter without the above-ground parts. Flower growers with great pleasure grow the following bulbous and tuberous crops:

• amaryllis;
• tuberous begonia;
• vorsleya;
• hippeastrum;
• gloxinia;
• sorrel;
• clivia;
• lily;
• cyclamen;
• eucharis etc.

The lunar calendar for indoor plants will be an excellent assistant for gardeners who decide to grow indoor bulbous and tuberous flowers. It is best to replant them in 2018 on days when the waning Moon is under the sign of Scorpio, and the growing Moon is under the sign of Capricorn:

• February: 6-8;
• March: 6-7;
• April 2-3;
• May: 1;
• October: 15-16;
• November: 11-13.

Features of plant care according to the lunar calendar

One of the important factors influencing the life of indoor flowers is watering. Inexperienced gardeners often make mistakes because they water the plants incorrectly. Seasonal differences, individual characteristics of 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 for the necessary actions to care for indoor flowers.

Lunar calendar for indoor plants for 2018

It is a mistake to assume that indoor plants require less care than their soil counterparts. In fact, it turns out that keeping beautiful flowers in pots is as labor-intensive as any work in the garden or flower beds. To help amateurs and professionals of indoor plant growing, experienced astrologers have compiled an indoor gardener's lunar calendar on , which contains useful and up-to-date information about the best time to replant, water and prune indoor plants.

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 autumn and winter, the movement of juices in the stems slows down, and plant care is minimal, while with the beginning of spring comes additional troubles. And yet, it is not only the seasonal calendar that is familiar to us that influences flowers in pots. It is also necessary to take into account the florist's lunar calendar 2017 for indoor plants, which indicates suitable days for watering, replanting and propagating indoor flowers.

Scientists have proven through experiments and observations that the Moon is responsible for regular changes in water levels in 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 plant plants are planted, propagated and replanted - at this time, growth will be stimulated by the accelerated movement of juices along the stem. But to improve the root system, feed and fertilize flowers, it is better to wait until the last quarter, when the movement of the liquid begins to decline and all the strength of the plant is concentrated underground.

How to properly care for indoor plants according to the lunar calendar?

First of all, you need to consider the characteristics of different types of plants and their purpose. For example, for the bedroom it is better to choose deciduous, non-flowering indoor plants, since pollen and intoxicating aroma can disturb sleep and cause allergies. But orchids or hippestrum will be very appropriate in the living room, as well as other flowering plants. It is also important to provide the flowers with enough light. If you have a dark apartment or the corner where the flower garden is located does not get enough sunlight, and you do not want to install lamps, choose those plants that prefer shade or are not too sensitive to the lack of light.

Lunar calendar for indoor plants for 2017: care and replanting

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.

As the gardener's calendar for 2017 says, indoor plants can be planted and replanted during the waxing Moon in Virgo - it is believed that this is the most favorable time: the plants will take root well, will not hurt for a long time and will soon take root. Also, favorable days for transplantation work include periods when the Moon is in Taurus and Capricorn. It is also good to plant indoor flowers on 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 replant tuberous and bulbous plants, use the days of the waxing moon in Capricorn and the waning moon in Scorpio.
• It is better to replant climbing 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 replant, and the Moon is in the first quarter, wait until it is in Gemini.
• To ensure successful rooting of cuttings, do the work on the days of the Moon in Scorpio and Capricorn (the phase of the Moon does not matter). And during the waxing Moon, the time of passage through the constellations Libra, Aries, Cancer and Taurus will be favorable, and during the waning Moon - Pisces.
• Traditionally, houseplant seeds are sown during the waxing Moon in Virgo, as this time is ideal for germination and ensures that your plants will be strong and robust. But you can also do sowings on the waning Moon, only on the days of Cancer and Scorpio.
• If you plan to prune or pinch indoor plants to further shape the crown, wait until the waning Moon in Gemini or Aquarius.

Since propagation 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, you need to place it in water and wait a few 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, follow the general transplantation rule. The same applies if your plants are propagated by dividing the bush, just carefully separate the parts of the plant and place them in new pots.

Lunar calendar for watering indoor plants

In the 2017 lunar calendar, florists for Belarus allocate 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 plants need more moisture in summer, 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 pan, as stagnant water will lead to rotting of the roots.

On Air days - Aquarius, Gemini and Libra - it is strictly forbidden to water plants, as they do not absorb moisture and nutrients well. And you need to be extremely careful when watering on the days of Fire - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius - it is better to do it after sunset so that the plant does not get burned.

Running water is suitable for watering, but first you need to let it sit for a day or two. This is important because the chlorine that is added to water purifiers can seriously damage the plant and cause a number 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 tray, as required, for example, violets, try to check the water level after half an hour - too much moisture can be harmful. And if the plant has a funnel of leaves (leaf plant), drop a little 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 air humidity is much higher than in our latitudes. This should be done about once a week, but it is better to be guided by the dryness of the air in the room. If you are not sure, you can install a special measuring device or substitute a tray with wet expanded clay for particularly capricious plants. Just watch the flower carefully, you may overdo it and only harm it.

If you went 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 them to a healthy appearance, but do not try to flood the plants, let everything be on schedule. Gradually, the flowers will “go away” and will delight you with a blooming and healthy appearance.

Also, once a month on Water days, preferably Pisces or Cancer, indoor leafy plants can be bathed and washed thoroughly. The lunar phase is not important here, since your task is to clean the leaves from dust. Being constantly indoors, flowers become covered with dust, like all objects, therefore, in order for the photosynthesis process to proceed without disturbances, you need to periodically clean the flower leaves.

Lunar calendar of indoor plants: 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, feeding with various 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 intended only for one type of indoor plant, but will be poisonous for others. Since most fertilizers contain the main components phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, which are necessary for plant flowering, strengthening the root system and immunity, you can choose those fertilizers that contain additional minerals and trace elements.

You also need to take into account 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, it’s best to combine fertilization with watering and focus 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 spring and autumn, before and after the flowering period. And if the plant does not take root well after transplantation or is sick for a long time, pour in an additional dose of fertilizer in the days of Taurus and Capricorn.

Indoor plants are very much influenced by the Moon. To better care for them, we have compiled a lunar calendar for 2017 so that your home will always have lush and beautiful flowers.

When caring for flowers, remember that the waxing Moon has the most beneficial effect on their growth. It makes the above-ground part of plants very susceptible. The waning moon, on the contrary, concentrates energy in the roots. Such facts are extremely important to take into account not only for indoor crops, but also for garden crops. Find out in more detail about when to plant seedlings and flowers according to the lunar calendar so that your efforts are not in vain.

We tell you when it is better to replant indoor plants according to the lunar calendar in 2020. We also indicate prohibited days when you cannot replant home flowers.

How do the phases of the moon affect plants?

It is a critical moment for all living things. It is advised not to manipulate plants. If there is an urgent need, you can deal with urgent matters (for example, disease or pest control).

Waxing Crescent

It was established a long time ago that during this phase the flow of juices to the stem from the root system significantly increases. The more the illumination of the Moon’s disk increases, the more noticeably the juices rise to the tops of the shoots.

• With the waxing Moon, minor mechanical damage to the root is more easily tolerated.

This time is the most successful for planting a plant that grows upward and bears fruit from above the ground - “tops” (vegetables, fruits, berries), as well as flowering, medicinal and decorative foliage species and lawn grasses.

Full moon

With it, the stems, leaves and fruits are maximally saturated with their juice. The moon transmits all its power and a peak level of vital activity occurs.

You cannot replant or prune, but it is better to collect the fruits (the highest value of nutrients is on this day).

Waning moon

In this phase, the juices are directed in the opposite direction to the roots. The moon gradually rests and reduces plant activity. It is optimal to carry out preventive actions - pruning, grafting, harvesting and medicinal herbs, mowing and replanting plants.

At the same time, it is recommended to plant flowering, decorative leafy species and “roots” (potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, garlic).

How do zodiac signs affect the success of a transplant?

The success of the transplant is greatly influenced by the zodiac sign. If a plant was transplanted when the Moon was waxing, but in a barren sign, then it will develop weaker in comparison with a transplanted flower in a fertile sign in a waning phase.

Infertile: Virgo, Capricorn. Fertile signs: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces - they are all feminine. They are the most successful time for planting or replanting plants.

Some astrologers divide differently: barren - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo and Aquarius, neutral - Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius and Capricorn and fertile - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Individual characteristics of indoor plants

Before you start replanting indoor plants according to the lunar calendar, many gardeners recommend taking into account their individual characteristics.

According to astrologers, zodiac signs have different effects on the growth and development of different types of domestic flowers.

1. It is better to transplant decorative deciduous species during certain zodiac signs: when the moon is waxing - Gemini, Libra, Scorpio and Pisces, and when the moon is waning - Cancer.
   Among the decorative deciduous species, the following are primarily distinguished: asparagus, dieffenbachia, dracaena, monstera, peperomia, ficus and chlorophytum.
2. It is better to replant bulbous and tuberous plant species when the moon is waxing in Capricorn and waning in Scorpio. Plants: amaryllis, tuberous begonia, vorsleya, hippeastrum, gloxinia, oxalis, clivia, lily, cyclamen and eucharis.
3. It is recommended to replant ampelous and climbing domestic species (liana, hoya) when the moon is waxing in Gemini, and when the moon is waning in Virgo and Sagittarius.

Favorable days for replanting indoor plants in 2020

Unlucky or successful days for transplanting house plants are determined based on the phase of the Moon and its zodiac sign.

• The most favorable period for transplanting indoor flowers is considered to be the waxing moon phase in the signs of Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Compliance with the general replanting rules and recommendations for a specific specimen plays a very important role for the successful growth and development of indoor plants.

You need to know for sure that a home flower can or should be replanted, and also to do it correctly.

Rules for an ideal transplant

1. The plant needs replanting (slow development, reduced decorativeness, small pot size).
2. The flower is replanted in compliance with individual recommendations (suitable pot size, drainage, preparation for replanting, correctly selected soil mixture) and without damaging the root system.
3. Moon phase and zodiac sign.

In order for the flower to grow and develop as well as possible in the future, ideally all these factors should coincide.

Now it becomes clearer why replanting indoor plants according to the lunar calendar is of great importance for their future fate, but not decisive.

Other growing secrets:

January

1, 5 (Sunday), 6, 7, 8, 10 – Full Moon, 25 – New Moon, 27, 28, 29.

You can replant indoor plants in January only in an emergency situation (root rot, etc.). Most species are in a dormant state. It is wise to prepare the soil mixture for future transplants.

February

1 (Saturday), 2 (Sunday), 3, 6, 7, 9 – Full Moon, 20, 23 – New Moon, 24, 25, 28, 29 (Saturday).

March

1 (Sunday), 4, 5, 6, 9 – Full Moon, 17, 18, 24 – New Moon, 27, 28 (Saturday).

Spring is the best time for replanting, pruning and most houseplants. And March and April are a “hot” time for every florist, gardener and gardener.

In March, the amount of sunlight increases and life processes accelerate. Therefore, they resume and become more frequent, and also begin forcing bulbous species.

April

1, 2, 8 – Full Moon, 14, 23 – New Moon, 24, 28, 29.

April is a favorable month for propagating and replanting flowers at home. They are actively growing and increasingly need feeding, especially fast-growing and flowering species.

Seed sowing, prevention and pruning are carried out. The forcing of bulbous species continues.

May

5, 7 - Full Moon, 22 - New Moon, 25, 26, 30 (Saturday), 31 (Sunday).

In May, many indoor plants continue to be replanted, and some are already beginning to bloom.

May is the optimal time for transplanting euphorbia species (then it will bloom in December). Most often they work with early flowering species that have already bloomed in the spring.

June

2, 3, 5 - Full Moon, 18, 21 - New Moon, 22, 23, 26, 27 (Saturday), 30.

In summer, transplants are rarely done at home, since this is not a very favorable time. In June, you can transship plants that have faded in the spring or those that have stopped growing in spring.

July

1, 5 – Full Moon, 20 – New Moon, 23, 27, 28.

In July, you can replant indoor flowers only if absolutely necessary.

August

3 – Full Moon, 6, 12, 19 – New Moon, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 (Saturday).

In August, houseplants are replanted in case of emergency. It is better to pay more attention to increasing air humidity, watering and protection from scorching sun rays.

September

2 – Full Moon, 17 – New Moon, 20 (Sunday), 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30.

Starting from September, you cannot replant plants that have a dormant period in winter, since fresh soil activates their growth. If it is impossible to postpone the transplant to March-April, then transship it in order to minimally disturb the flower.

From the end of August to the end of September, violets can be replanted. And then in about 30-40 days they will bloom.

In September-October, orchids are replanted if necessary.

October

2 – Full Moon, 16 – New Moon, 17 (Saturday), 18 (Sunday), 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31 – Full Moon.

In October, you can only handle some healthy house flowers: amarrilis, asparagus, dracaena, tradescantia, chlorophytum.

For transplanted plants, it is especially important to maintain optimal air humidity at the beginning of the heating season.

From the end of October, most types of indoor plants go into a dormant state.

November

15 - New Moon, 17, 18, 19, 22 (Sunday), 23, 24, 27, 28 (Saturday), 30 - Full Moon.

In November, transplantation is performed only in an emergency situation. It is strictly not recommended to touch bulbous species; they accumulate nutrients during this period.

Many flowers need additional.

December

2, 14 – New Moon, 15, 16, 20 (Sunday), 21, 25, 26 (Saturday), 30 – Full Moon.

In December, most indoor plants are already in hibernation. Transplants are carried out in exceptional cases using the transshipment method. If desired, you can do transshipment or succulents.
