Do we determine that an indoor flower needs a transplant?
Home flowers are constantly replanted. Young specimens are replanted every year, and already grown ones - once every 3-4 years.
Regular transplantation is carried out for the following reasons:
- Soil depletion. No matter how you feed the flowers, sooner or later the soil resource in the pot will be depleted. Therefore, the flowers will need to be replanted so that they continue to grow and develop normally. A sign of depletion of the soil mixture is slower growth, frequent diseases and poor flowering.
- Development of the root system. Like any living organism, a flower grows and gains mass. The root system develops and gradually entangles the entire earthen ball. This can be understood by the roots that protrude over the edges of the container or through the drainage holes.
But there are reasons why you need to transplant a flower into new soil urgently and without delaying the procedure:
- Overflow. You need to water your home flora regularly, but do it in moderation so that the moisture does not stagnate in the pot. The lack of drainage holes is also dangerous. Stagnation of moisture causes the roots to rot, and pathogenic microorganisms begin to multiply in the soil.
- Diseases and pests. If you find signs of fungal diseases or pests on a flower, then it must not only be treated with fungicides or insecticides, but also transplanted into a new container. In this case, it is necessary to completely clean the roots from old soil, in which parasite larvae or harmful microorganisms may remain.
ON A NOTE. In case of illness, infected specimens must be removed so as not to infect other crops.
Planting vegetation, relative to the Lunar calendar
Gardeners and flower growers believe that the Moon directly affects the condition of plants. Based on this, there is a suitable time for planting plants, and there is an inappropriate one. It is determined based on the phases of the Moon, or rather the constellation in which it is located.
- The least favorable periods are considered to be the period when the satellite is in the constellation Leo, Aquarius and Aries.
- The most optimal period for replanting ornamental plants is when the satellite is in the constellation Libra, Pisces, Virgo, Cancer or Capricorn.
- It is worth rooting cuttings at a time when the Moon is in the constellation Libra, Pisces, Virgo, and Sagittarius.
It is believed that the most unfavorable days for replanting indoor plants are new moons and full moons.
Reference! Three days on which you should beware of manipulating plants: the day before the new moon, the new moon, and the day after it.
When the Moon is in its full growth phase, plants are very sensitive to any interference. If the gardener does not want his pets to get sick or not to take root, then you should not touch them during this period.
What indoor plants and flowers are usually replanted in February?
In February, daylight hours continue to increase and, feeling the spring, some flowers begin to wake up after a period of dormancy.
At this time, violet, dollar tree, mother-in-law's tongue, streptocarpus, impatiens, Decembrist, and a variety of ivies can be transplanted into new pots.
In addition, in the same month you can plant various tuberous or bulbous crops in new pots. For example, gloxinia, begonia. In early February, you can start forcing hyacinths by March 8th.
February is also quite suitable for planting new cuttings of geraniums, cacti and other succulents.
Florist's lunar calendar October 2022
In October, all work on the site is usually completed due to rainy and cool weather. If you are delayed in planting bulbs, then have time to carry out the work in the middle of the month from October 17 to 21, the phase of the waxing Moon in Aquarius and Pisces. It is quite difficult to create such a calendar on your own. Professional astrologers take into account many factors: the position of the Moon and the Sun in the zodiac signs, lunar day, month. Feel free to use this table to plan work on your personal plot in the garden, vegetable garden, or flower garden. The abundance of moisture and low autumn temperatures will stop all work in the open ground; the gardener's main attention switches to indoor flowers. But, despite the change in climatic conditions, it is still possible to carry out pre-spring preparations in the most suitable period from the 17th to the 21st.
Favorable days for transplanting flowers in February 2022 according to the lunar calendar?
A good time to replant green pets is during the rising moon. It is best to start landing work when the earth's satellite passes through the constellation Virgo.
ON A NOTE. But the sign of Aquarius is considered unlucky for transplantation.
Therefore, plan your transplant on the following February dates: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18.
Florist's lunar calendar September 2022
In September it is time to plant bulbs for next year. Decorate the flower beds with edges so as not to trample them at the beginning of the next season and not to forget where and what was planted. For planting we choose September 20,21,22,23 or 24, the waxing Moon in Aquarius and Pisces. Any date is suitable for collecting seeds. In spring and autumn, plants in any case tolerate planting work better. Rooted cuttings should be designated for permanent residence during the warm season. If there is a need for replanting in the fall, carefully choose the date in accordance with the lunar calendar. The beginning of autumn among flower growers is considered the period of planting bulbous flowers. Thus, experts prepare for the upcoming season by dipping daffodils, tulips and crocuses into the soil. Planting these plants from the 20th to the 24th, when the new month passes the constellation Aquarius, will allow you to welcome spring in bright colors. September marks the mass flowering of chrysanthemums, which also need care.

Anyone can grow a beautiful home garden. Use the recommendations of the indoor plant lunar calendar to stay aware of the changing lunar energy. With its help, you will be able to create a unique winter garden at home, which will delight you with beautiful and healthy plants.
The influence of the Moon on plants is great, so they should be cared for on favorable days, when the energy of the night light is positive. Don't forget that not all plants can be kept at home. Some of them are poisonous and threaten health, while others have negative energy. You should avoid such flowers so as not to bring misfortune and failure on yourself and your family.
January
The winter month is suitable for moderate care of plants, most of which hibernate. Their growth slows down, so active care is not required. Set mineral fertilizers aside. They will enhance flower growth, but without active solar support your plants will be weak and may become sick from lack of light and heat.
January 1-2. During the first days of the month, the Moon is in its waxing phase and is in the constellation Cancer. This is the right time to take care of your plants. You can spray broad-leaved flowers, ridding them of dust and dirt, and loosen the soil to allow oxygen to reach the root system.
January 10-11. These days, the energy of the waning moon ensures good development of the root system. The influence of Scorpio is also positive, and these days you can devote to replanting overgrown flowers and planting new seedlings. You can purchase new plants that will decorate your home.

In addition, flower lovers can start selecting creative pots, flowerpots and other containers that will become additional decor in your home.
The influence of the moon sign and phase on the transplantation of indoor flowers and plants?
According to the lunar calendar, the success of flower transplantation is influenced not only by the lunar phases, but also by the zodiac sign.
If the night star increases day by day in the night sky, then this is the most favorable period to transplant flowers in February. Favorable days according to the lunar calendar occur in the first half of the month.
If the night star gradually decreases, then this is rather a neutral time. You can only replant if you are unable to carry out planting work during the growing phase. But in no case should it be replanted under the signs of Pisces and Aquarius.
The full moon and new moon are the worst times for transplantation.
Now let's talk about the zodiac constellations.
- Aries – this day is not the most favorable day, but under the waxing moon you can replant flowers.
- Taurus is a good period for cuttings from indoor plants.
- Gemini is a neutral period.
- Cancer is well suited for transplantation, especially in the growing phase.
- Leo is a neutral period.
- Virgo is a good time to transplant flowers in February 2022. According to the lunar calendar, days under this constellation are considered favorable in any lunar phase except the full moon and new moon.
- Libra is a neutral constellation.
- Scorpio is a generally neutral constellation, but on this day, prickly succulents tolerate replanting well.
- Sagittarius is not a very favorable constellation for planting in new containers.
- Capricorn is a favorable sign for transplantation during the waxing moon.
- Aquarius is the worst constellation for landing events.
- Pisces is an ambiguous influence. While it is possible to transplant on a waxing moon, it is strictly prohibited on a waning moon.
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.
Common mistakes
- The soil is not updated. During planting work, new soil must be used. First, the new soil has more nutrients. Secondly, the old substrate may be infected with parasites or fungal spores.
- No drainage. The drainage system is very important. It prevents excess water from accumulating in the pot. When planting a flower in a new container, it is important to make drainage holes and add fine expanded clay or pebbles.
- Planting work is carried out inaccurately. When replanting, you must act very carefully so as not to damage the roots or break the stems of the flower. If the plant has grown deeply into the container, it is better to carefully cut it than to try to pull the flower out of the pot.
Unfavorable days in March 2022
Unfavorable days are considered to be those in which the Moon is in the new Moon phase or is approaching this state. Typically this is three days:
- The day before the new moon.
- New Moon.
- The day after the new moon.
These are unfavorable days for any actions with plants. It is not recommended to carry out any soil work in them; when fertilizing, the flowers will also not take everything they need. When loosening the soil, the roots will be severely damaged and will take a long time to heal; when treated with chemicals, the plant can suffer greatly.
On what days is it not recommended to carry out any work with flowers and soil:
- Dates when transplantation cannot be performed: 1, 2, 3, 18.
- Moon phases when earthworks are not recommended: Aquarius, Leo, and Aries.
On all other days you can work with flowers, and even need to. But it is better to familiarize yourself with the readings of the Lunar calendar in more detail.
Answers to frequently asked questions
Can I use soil from an old pot?
Some gardeners add old soil when planting. This is not entirely correct, since by the time of transplantation the substrate can no longer provide the plant with the required amount of nutrients. That is why new soil is always poured into the pot.
Is it possible to use garden soil for replanting?
Many domestic flower crops come from hot countries. Our soil is too dense and heavy for them. Most flowers require a light, loose nutrient substrate, often containing peat or sand.
Therefore, it is better to buy flower soil in the store and replant it into it.
Most favorable days
During the arrival of winter cold, most of the vegetative processes that occur in house flowers slow down. This leads to a reduction in maintenance work. Gardeners especially try to avoid replanting seedlings in winter, so as not to harm them in any way. According to the lunar calendar of flower growers for the month of December 2022, the following favorable days are highlighted for working with them:
- sowing flower seedlings: 3, 9, 10, 19;
- planting climbing indoor crops: 3 and 21;
- planting bulbous and tuberous crops: 2, 3, 4, 10 and 30;
- Favorable days for rooting cuttings: 3, 9, 10 and 19;
- The best days for transplantation are: 9, 10, 14, 19 and 28.
Only thanks to proper and timely care will indoor flowers delight you with their appearance even in winter. Don't forget about feeding them. The most favorable time for applying fertilizers will be days from 18 to 24.
May
In May the weather is already sunny and warm. Therefore, many people plant their indoor beauties in a garden flowerbed during the flowering season. It is best to carry out this procedure between 18 and 21.
The lunar calendar for indoor flowers (2018) for May contains the following recommendations:
- spraying, watering and showering - 1, 8–11, 16–17, 25, 27, 31;
- fertilizing - 4–6, 8–11, 17, 27, 31;
- transshipment and reproduction – 4, 6, 8–9, 16–17, 19–20, 22–23, 26–27;
- pruning, preventive spraying, therapeutic actions - 5, 10–11, 27–28;
- soil loosening – 2–3, 7–8, 11, 13, 28–30;
- any actions cannot be carried out on 14, 15 and 21.
Impact and influence of the moon
The growth of the Moon is the period when the movement of juices goes from the roots to the stems. It is during these days that the entire above-ground part develops rapidly, the stem and foliage grow, buds and inflorescences form. When growing, the luminaries are not replanted and formative pruning is not carried out. Don't start feeding. You can carry out hilling, weeding, loosening, because the roots are less injured. Watering is recommended, as there is intensive growth of the above-ground parts of the plants.
The decline of the Moon is the period when the movement of juices goes in the opposite direction, along the stems into the root system of plants. You need to start transferring them to a permanent place of growth, or from pot to pot, just before the start of the new moon. Because the roots are not yet vulnerable, and after a couple of days they will begin to be abundantly supplied with nutrients and will take root well.
When they decline, it is recommended to carry out formative pruning and fertilizing. This is the best period for planting flowers with bulbous and tuberous root systems.
The period from the appearance of the New Moon until the emergence of a thin crescent is not recommended for carrying out any work with flowers.
The period from the entrance of the Full Moon into the sky until its departure is suitable exclusively for collecting seed material, controlling pests and weeds, and applying fertilizers.
The movement of the night star occurs over 28 Earth days. This period consists of phases and quarters. Each day has its own zodiac patron. As a rule, its influence extends for two or even three days.
- It is not recommended to perform any work under the influence of Aquarius.
- Aries and Leo are considered absolutely sterile.
- Neutrals include Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius.
- It is recommended to carry out all types of work under the auspices of Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Libra, Capricorn.

If the weather in your region is not yet stable, stock up on covering materials and better cover your plantings so that they do not freeze. Today you can collect the bark
of medicinal plants.
