As is known, the movements and phases of the Moon influence the behavior of living beings and terrestrial objects containing water. Since ancient times, people began to pay attention to the processes occurring with plants in one phase or another of the Moon and gradually systematized their phenological observations. This is how the lunar calendar appeared, which helps to choose the best dates for harvesting fruits, for replanting plants, for watering flowers, for pruning and pinching.
The accumulated knowledge and useful observations allow us to draw up an annual calendar with dates suitable for transplanting, propagating, feeding, and pruning plants at home. Many gardeners use moon calendar indoor plants for growing your home collection.
❶ For example, during the period waxing moon vital energy actively rushes from the root system of the plant to the shoots, leaves and fruits. This period is very favorable for safe transplantation and after the procedure the plant takes root faster in the new soil. Fruits collected during the waxing moon contain greatest number vitamins and nutrients. But on full moon You can do loosening and hilling by adding soil to the exposed roots. If you grow lemon trees, mangoes, kiwis and other fruit-bearing crops at home, you can easily choose the best date for harvesting the fruits according to the lunar calendar.
❷ And here on the new moon It is not at all advisable to replant flowers and decorative foliage plants, since vital energy actively flows into the roots, and in the above-ground part of the plant the circulation of juices and other processes are extremely slow. But for the formation of the crown, pruning and pinching, the new moon is the most favorable period. During the new moon and waning moon, you can collect seeds if you plan to use this method of propagating your flowers. Seeds collected during this period concentrate energy for active growth and after planting they produce quick shoots that actively develop and do not die.
❸ Passing through different zodiac signs Moon has different effects on the growth and development of indoor plants. For example, for transplanting bulbous and tuberous plants (tuberous begonia, domestic gloxinia or Sinningia, oxalis oxalis, hippeastrum, European and Persian cyclamen, clivia beautiful and cinnabar, amaryllis belladonna, eucharis Amazon lily) it is best to choose the period when the waning Moon moves across the constellation Scorpio, and increasing - according to the constellation Capricorn.
❹ For transplants many decorative deciduous plants(ficus rubber and Benjamin, dracaena, asparagus, peperomia obtuse or wrinkled, dieffenbachia, monstera, chlorophytum) it is advisable to choose dates in the lunar calendar when the waning Moon is in the constellation Cancer, and the ascending Moon passes through the constellations Pisces, Scorpio, Libra, Gemini.
❺ For transplants overhead indoor species(campanula campanula, petunia) and climbing vines It is best to choose dates in the lunar calendar when the waxing Moon is in the constellation Gemini, and the waning Moon is in the signs of Virgo and Sagittarius.
❻ Indoor plants do not absorb moisture well and nutrients when the Moon is in the constellation Aries according to the lunar calendar. It is not advisable to fertilize the soil, water it, or treat the plant with pest and disease control agents when the Moon is in the constellation Leo.
❼ Sowing seeds is best done during the waxing moon in Virgo or waning when crossing the constellation Scorpio or Cancer. Effective rooting of cuttings occurs during the waxing Moon, when it passes the constellation Aries, Cancer, Taurus, Libra. Pruning and pinching to form the crown of a houseplant is best done during the waning Moon in the lunar sign of Aquarius or Gemini.

How often should indoor flowers be replanted?
Eat certain rules according to the frequency of transplantation, adherence to which will increase the flowering time:
- Once every 2-3 years you need to replant flowers that grow slowly.
- Every year, replanting is necessary for young, fast-growing plants.
- Adult domestic flowers are replanted once every 2-3 years.
- Tree-like shrubs replanted every four to five years.
- During the dormant period, they replant coniferous varieties.
- After the flowering period, early flowering types are replanted.
An emergency transplant can be carried out in case of illness or damage to the pot.
How does the moon affect transplantation?
The replanting process does not go unnoticed for the plants: the root system is disrupted, the leaves and stems are damaged. The least harm to plants is caused during the period when liquid from the roots reaches the leaves and stems. Consequently, the roots are preserved during replanting. Such phenomena are observed during the period of lunar growth.
Replanting indoor plants in favorable periods will help flowers better adapt to new living conditions. This is a kind of shield against disease and damage.

The influence of moon phases on house plants?
As you know, the Moon goes through several phases, each of which has its own specific effect on plants. This is exactly what we can now verify. Lunar calendar for April 2018 by a florist
- Firstly, the phase of the young or waxing Moon. This option is considered one of the most favorable for planting flowering plants in a garden flower bed or simply replanting. Ask why and what is it? The answer is very simple, since plants during the process of transplantation during this phase receive additional energy, which in turn has an important influence and significance on their growth. At the same time, astrologers strongly recommend paying attention to phases when the Moon is in the constellations Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus.
- Secondly, the waning phase of the moon. At this time, it is strictly forbidden to engage in any actions or manipulations with plants, or, more precisely, replanting. Why? The answer is obvious, since the energy of the Moon in this case will be concentrated directly in the roots.
- Thirdly, the second and fourth phases of the moon. At this time, it is also better not to replant plants and process them. For example, if you are growing outdoor flowers, then the best thing to do is prepare the seeds.
Astrology and house plants
The influence of each lunar phase is adjusted by the zodiac sign in which the satellite is located. If sowing occurred during the period of a “dry” sign, then even the waxing Moon will not be able to give it the necessary strength and energy for productive growth. Lunar calendar for April 2018 for a florist

In order for indoor flowers to delight with their beauty, they must be properly cared for, which means not only watering and fertilizing, but also replanting the plants. In this article we will talk about how flowers are transplanted according to the lunar calendar 2018.
Any manipulation for house plants is stressful. To reduce it, you must follow the recommendations of the lunar calendar. Let's start with favorable days for transplantation:
- January – 18–30;
- February – 17–28;
- March – 18–30;
- April – 17–29;
- May – 16–28;
- June – 14–27;
- July – 14–26;
- August – 12–25;
- September – 10–24;
- October – 10–23;
- November – 8–22;
- December – 8–21.
Winter is a dormant season, when there is no need to replant houseplants at all. But if such a need arises, then do it on the days indicated in the lunar calendar. On favorable dates, the juice is at the top, so the roots are less sensitive and are able to withstand all manipulations.

Unfavorable period
The lunar calendar for flower transplantation (2018) also includes unfavorable and even prohibited days for planting:
- January: unfavorable – 3–17 (prohibited – 2, 31);
- February: 1–14, 16 (15);
- March: 3–17 (2, 31);
- April: 1–16 (30);
- May: 1–15, 30, 31 (29);
- June: 1–13, 29, 30 (28);
- July: 1–12, 28–31 (13, 27);
- August: 1–10, 27–31 (11, 26);
- September: 1–9, 26–30 (25);
- October: 1–9, 25–31 (24);
- November: 1–7, 24–30 (23);
- December: 1–7, 23–31 (22).
If manipulations are carried out on dates when it is undesirable to replant flowers according to the 2018 lunar calendar, the green planting may suffer for a long time or may not even take root. The fact is that on unfavorable days, the sap of the plant strongly flows to the roots, which is why the root system becomes too sensitive.
Damage to the roots, which often happens during the transplanting process, can lead to the death of the plant.
Replanting decorative foliage plants
It turns out that zodiac signs also influence the growth of indoor flowers and their development. It is correct to transplant deciduous plants during the following zodiac signs: when the moon is waxing - Scorpio, Gemini, Pisces and Libra, and when the moon is waning - Cancer. First, we give examples of indoor decorative deciduous varieties:
- Zamioculcas;
- monstera;
- fatsia;
- ficus;
- dracaena;
- selaginella;
- Dieffenbachia.
This list cannot be called complete; we have named the most popular flowers.
Transplanting ampelous indoor species
Many novice gardeners are interested in the question of when it is possible to replant green spaces such as liana and hoya. The most favorable time is when the moon is waxing in Gemini, and when the moon is waning - in Sagittarius or Virgo.
Transplanting bulbous and tuberous plants
Let us first recall which flowers belong to this species– these are tuberous begonia, sorrel, lily, amaryllis, clivia, eucharis, gloxinia, vorsleya, cyclamen, hippeastrum. Such house plants are replanted in Capricorn when the moon is waxing, and in Scorpio when the moon is waning.
At the end of our article we will tell you when planting according to the lunar calendar is necessary:
- The roots of the flower no longer fit into the pot and begin to grow through the holes in the bottom.
- If the soil in the pot is too hard, or a foul-smelling coating has appeared, then it’s time to look at the calendar and choose the next suitable day for replanting.
- Biological parameters are also a reason for transplanting into new soil.
- If you just purchased a green friend in flower shop, you definitely need to replace the substrate, which is often artificial, with soil that is suitable for the crop.
- Leaves of steel yellow color, the flower grows poorly.
If you are faced with one of these problems, then you definitely need to replant your indoor plant by studying the lunar calendar for 2018 in advance. Be sure to select a pot that is suitable in size for each flower. Do not forget that some plants can be immediately placed in large containers, and there are those whose pots need to be changed as they grow.
Proper care is the key to ensuring that your home plant will delight you with its healthy appearance.
