The lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers for 2022 will help determine the most favorable days for planting and replanting.
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 the upper parts of the 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.
Consulting the lunar calendar before starting work in your home or office greenhouse will make it easier to grow a healthy, thriving 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 shows the favorable and unfavorable dates of each month, so that your indoor garden will delight you with a riot of greenery and fragrant flowers.

Favorable days for planting and replanting indoor plants
During transplantation, any plant experiences a certain amount of stress, this is due to the fact that it is removed from its usual environment and transferred to a new place; also, during such work, the root system can be damaged.
In order for the flower to endure the transplantation procedure as easily as possible, it is recommended to carry it out during the waxing phase of the moon.
The first 3 days after the new moon are considered the most favorable.
Also, every gardener should remember that something needs to be replanted only when it is ready for it, that is, you need to wait until the end of flowering and the onset of the dormant phase. For each individual species, this stage occurs at a different time.
Preparing the soil and replanting flowers only during the growing phase, otherwise they will take longer to take root

Lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers in January
The indoor gardener's annual lunar calendar indicates dates suitable for major changes in the life of a plant - replanting or planting rooted cuttings.
On unfavorable days, less radical procedures are performed - loosening, fertilizing, watering, and pest control. Particular attention should be paid to dates when it is better not to touch flowers at all. Any care on such a day will not be beneficial.

Florist's lunar calendar for January 2022
The time for the florist's lunar calendar is Moscow. The beginning of the lunar day is the time of moonrise.
Attention: During the winter months, most indoor plants experience a period of dormancy or a significant slowdown in growth. Minimal care is watering, pest control and re-handling if necessary: if the plant was flooded, pests appeared. Loosening the soil and sanitary pruning are also carried out as necessary: if the soil in the pot does not dry out for a long time, the branches have dried out from a draft, etc. Other care methods: fertilizing, grafting, formative and rejuvenating pruning, replanting, dividing, etc. It’s worth postponing until the end of January until truly bright days arrive. The exception is plants that are illuminated with lamps and continue to grow, bloom or bear fruit.

Note: you should not take the gardener’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 fertilizers,” then know that only experienced gardeners can follow them and this only applies to plants in certain conditions. For example, fruit-bearing indoor trees can be fed monthly, even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours in autumn and winter (with additional lighting by lamps) can also be fed and even replanted. Experienced gardeners can successfully take cuttings 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 lighting intensity, i.e. When plants enter a stage of dormancy or slowdown in development, fertilizing, replanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures are strongly not recommended.
Lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers in February
Each gardener adheres to certain principles when caring for indoor plants and flowers. Some people find valuable tips and advice from experts on the pages of specialized publications, some reproduce the experiences of friends and acquaintances, and many prefer to listen to the opinions of astrologers about the influence of the moon on their silent pets.

The influence of the Moon on the growth and development of plants
Since ancient times, people began to notice that flower seeds that were planted during the waxing Moon germinate well. And bulbous plants planted on waning soil develop better and bloom more luxuriantly. A pattern was also identified between different works on caring for plants and the phases and signs of the Zodiac in which the Night Star was located, following which it was possible to achieve better development of flowers and ornamental crops. Based on this information, they began to compile special tables, which indicated in which phase of the Moon it was optimal to carry out certain work.
Therefore, planting flowers should be done based not only on the time of year and climate conditions. It also matters what phase and sign of the Zodiac the Moon is in. It has a strong impact on all living things.
