In today's article we will talk about when to transplant, how to do it correctly and how to care for plants after the procedure.
How to understand that flowers need replanting
The indoor flower grows and develops, increases its green mass, increases the volume of its roots, and gradually the pot becomes too small for it. Therefore, transplantation is a natural process.
Usually the transplant is done in March, since after winter the plants begin to emerge from hibernation and actively grow. And for active growth they need space.
So, here are a few signs that a flower needs to be replanted in March:
- The pot has become too small. Gradually growing, the roots entwine the earthen ball. As a result, they have nowhere to get nutrients for the above-ground part, and the flower begins to fade. To prevent this from happening, you need to regularly replant it in a larger container.
- The soil in the pot has become sour. This can happen due to poor-quality soil and regular overflow, as well as the lack of drainage holes. When replanting due to acidification of the soil, it is important to clean the root system completely.
- Growth has stopped, there is no flowering. If your green pet is still young, but no longer grows or blooms, then it needs to be replanted. There can be two options: the roots have entwined the earthen ball, the soil has become depleted.
- Diseases and pests. If you see signs of disease or the presence of pests on a flower, you must immediately replant it. In this case, the infected parts must be removed using a sharp and disinfected instrument, and the sections must be treated with a fungicide solution.
ON A NOTE. Don't be surprised if the flower grows slower after replanting. First, the root system develops, and only then the above-ground part.

How moon signs affect flowers when transplanting
Flower transplantation in March 2022 according to the lunar calendar is carried out in accordance with the lunar phases.
Below we will describe how each of them affects plants.
The new moon is not suitable for transplanting flowers, as this is the period of transition from the waning moon to the waxing one. During this phase, plants are very vulnerable to attack. Even a small wound during transplantation can lead to the death of the flower.
The waxing moon is the ideal time to replant flowers. The phase has the most favorable effect on the root system. The roots quickly take root and begin to draw nutrients from the soil.
The full moon is similar to the new moon in its effect on plants. Therefore, no actions are carried out during this lunar phase either. Especially when it comes to transplantation.
The waning moon is an ambiguous time. During this phase of the lunar calendar, tuberous and bulbous flowers can be transplanted. For everyone else, a transplant at this time is not advisable.
ON A NOTE. Of the zodiac signs, the most favorable are Virgo and Scorpio.
Favorable days
In March 2022, the florist's lunar calendar recommends the following days for planting flower crops and working with them:
- annuals – 3-16, 20-21
- biennials, perennials – 3-8
- tuberous, bulbous, root-tuberous – 6, 8, 16, 17, 19, 20, 20-25
The following hours will be favorable for planting indoor plants: 6-13, 19, 20, 21-25
Unfavorable days
If for some reason you do not fall on one of the favorable days, land on any one, avoiding only the unfavorable ones.
These are the days of the full moon and new moon (12 hours before and after):
- new moon (12 hours before and after its onset) - March 2 at 20:35
- full moon (12 hours before and after its onset) - March 18 at 10:17 am
Aquarius is the most infertile sign of the zodiac and should also be avoided:
- March 27, 03:56 a.m. – March 29, 07:34 a.m.
In addition to the recommendations of the florist's lunar calendar for March 2022, it is important to know the general rules for carrying out work this month.

How to care for flowers after transplantation
Most often, they are transplanted using the method of transferring an earthen coma, but there are other methods.
IMPORTANT! Transplantation is always stressful for flowers, even if it was carried out correctly and according to the lunar calendar.
After you have transplanted your green pet, it must be quarantined for a week, after thoroughly moistening the earthen ball.
ON A NOTE. If you replanted because of rot or because the flower was watered last time, then there is no need to water it.
In quarantine there should be shade and it should be cool.
There is no point in watering all this time. Only occasionally spray with water if the room is dry enough.
A week later, an examination is carried out. If the “patient” tolerated the procedure well, then he is returned to his usual place.
The question often arises about feeding after transplantation. So there is no point in feeding it in the next 3-4 months.
Firstly, first the roots will take root, and then master their new living space.
Secondly, the nutrients contained in the substrate will be sufficient for nutrition, and an excess of microelements will also be harmful, as well as their deficiency.
Of course, if the color did not tolerate the transplant well, it will need to be helped by adding growth and root formation stimulants to the water for irrigation. Then you need to carry out several fertilizing with liquid complex fertilizers with a high content of potassium and phosphorus.
Common mistakes
- The procedure is not carried out according to the lunar calendar. Once again, replanting is a very painful procedure, so the plants need help. Follow the lunar calendar to replant on the most favorable day.
- Poor quality soil. The new substrate must be nutritious.
- Using old soil. Of course, when you replant using the transshipment method, some of the soil will already be old, but the rest of the soil must be fresh. Otherwise, the roots will have nowhere to absorb nutrients.
- Sloppyness. Damage to the roots can lead to the death of the plant.
- The transplant is carried out too late. Never get to the point where you have to cut the pot open or have roots grow through the drainage holes.
Answers to frequently asked questions
How often should a transplant be done?
In general, it depends on the specific plant. But usually young, actively growing flowers are replanted every year, and already grown ones every 2-3 years.
What to do if the flower does not come out of the container?
You'll have to cut it. Just do it very carefully so as not to damage the roots.
Is it necessary to apply fertilizers already in March?
If you have damaged the roots, then already in March you can add a root formation stimulator to the water for irrigation. The main fertilizing should be carried out after 3-4 months.
