The time to transplant indoor flowers is in April. Transplanting bulbous and tuberous plants

Indoor plants help create a special atmosphere in the house. Provide them proper care A detailed lunar calendar for May 2017 will help.

Lunar energy has different effects on already formed plants and fragile seedlings. If you plan to plant new seeds in May, then a monthly lunar sowing calendar will be a good help.

1st of May: waxing Moon in the constellation Cancer. The watery energy of Cancer makes this Sign the most favorable for any type of land work. On the first day of the month, you can replant, water and fertilize indoor flowers: this will contribute to the development of the root system and long flowering.

May 2-4: waxing Moon in Leo. This time is unfavorable for caring for flowers. On a clear day they can be exposed to the sun, but care must be taken not to overheat.

May 5-6: The moon continues to grow and interacts with the constellation Virgo. This two-day period is favorable for watering and replanting plants. The flowers will take root well in the new soil and will not get sick.

ABOUT unusual properties geraniums were already known in ancient times. Previously, this plant was grown to cleanse...

Indoor plants are not only a living corner in the house, but extremely beneficial inhabitants for our health. If you want indoor flowers to delight with lush foliage, abundant and long flowering, you must not only water, but also observe temperature regime, fertilize the plants, but also replant them on time.

Flower growers noticed that the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth affects the survival rate of plants after transplantation and began to highlight favorable and unfavorable days, keeping records in the lunar calendar. Today we will find out how and at what time it is better to replant home flowers according to the lunar calendar 2018.

Observing the behavior of indoor plants before and after replanting, flower growers noticed the influence of three factors on the survival rate - the current lunar day and the phase of the Moon, as well as in which zodiac sign it is located. Any of these factors determines the energy of the day and affects the processes occurring inside a living organism.

Need to remember:

  • On the new moon and full moon, the day before and after, you cannot carry out work related to replanting or handling plants.
  • If the Moon is in the Growth phase, you can do work on propagating indoor plants (by leaf, shoot, cutting).
  • When transplanting plants, pay attention to which one is currently zodiac sign fertile or infertile.
  • Pisces and Cancer are the most favorable signs for replanting. Scorpio and Taurus are signs that are characterized by good fertility; plants easily take root and tolerate transplantation.
  • Aries, Leo, Aquarius, Gemini are signs with negative energy, infertile.
  • Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn are semi-fertile.

When is a transplant necessary according to the lunar calendar?

  1. If the roots of the plants begin to ask out, growing through the holes at the bottom of the pot or do not fit into the flowerpot, then you need to take care of a new home for the plants.
  2. The soil in the pot is hard, powdered with a white, bad-smelling coating - this indicates increased pH acidity, which inhibits plant growth.
  3. There is a need, due to the biological parameters of the growth and development of the flower, to transplant it into new soil.
  4. Plant purchased from flower shop, most often has an artificial substrate, which must be replaced with soil recommended for this crop.
  5. The flower drops yellow foliage, grows poorly, does not bloom, looks painful.

It is important to know:

  • A large pot is more often the cause of poor plant health than a small one.
  • Unless necessary, it is best not to replant plants during the colder months. Spring is the best time to bring a green pet to new pot.
  • Despite the heat, there is no ban on replanting indoor plants in summer.

It is prohibited to replant and transship during flowering. If the plant is infested with pests, first get rid of the source of the problems (aphids, thrips, spider mites, mealy mites, nematodes in the soil...) and only then replant.

Orchid transplantation: lunar calendar 2018

If your favorite orchid needs to replace the substrate or the pot becomes too small for the roots, it requires replanting. Flower shop consultants advise replanting the plant two, maximum three years after purchase.

For replanting you will need a transparent pot. The orchid is an epiphytic jungle plant that lives in crevices of tree bark, on trunks and branches. Roots in natural natural conditions open, participate in the process of photosynthesis and absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere.

We choose a pot with a slight increase in diameter and holes in the bottom for watering into a tray. The orchid uses a substrate that is unusual in our understanding. It can be purchased at a flower shop or collected independently using:

  • pine needles gymnosperms(spruce, pine, fir)
  • charred or located for a long time pieces of wood and bark in the water
  • expanded clay
  • small pebbles
  • sifted sand

Pour boiling water over everything and mix. Carefully transfer the orchid to a new pot, after removing the old roots, and cover it with a man-made substrate.

Growing and propagating violets is not at all difficult. You must be careful when working with the plant and choose optimal time for better survival. If mother bush forms small daughter shoots with developed roots - this is the most ancient and simplest way to obtain a new plant by planting. Using a spatula, we separate the shoot from the adult plant and plant it in soil from the store or prepared with our own hands.

If there are no daughter bushes, don’t worry, violet, just like gloxinia, is propagated by a leaf with a petiole or a piece of leaf. Carefully, use a blade to cut off the petiole from leaf blade and lower it into the water, and after the roots have formed, place it in the ground.

We transfer the flower to a new substrate, first remove the drooping leaves and the dried petiole with the flower.

Many gardeners know that there are the most favorable days for replanting indoor plants. Flowers in the house not only create coziness, but also help reduce the overall impact on humans ultraviolet radiation electrical appliances.
People who are passionate about plant growing know that not only lighting and proper watering is important for normal growth, but also the correct planting time.

How to replant indoor plants

When replanting indoor plants, certain rules must be followed. For example, a pot that seems small at first glance is not always too small for a plant. On the contrary, a flower can feel cozy.

How to determine when it’s time to replant a plant? Before checking whether replanting is necessary, water the plant well and give the soil time to absorb the water. Then carefully lift it out of the pot along with the soil. If the roots are tightly entwined with the ground in the shape of the pot and the soil is practically invisible, then it’s time to replant. If there is still a lot of earth, and the roots are inside, then the flower feels comfortable and can be safely returned back to the pot.

It is best to start planting flowers in spring or early summer, when the home flora is in an active growth phase. In autumn and even more so in winter due to the short daylight hours growth is most often insignificant.

Before landing, you need to make sure that you have everything you need on hand:

  • land (suitable for this type);
  • a pot that is slightly larger than the size of the previous pot (if you choose a pot that is much larger in size, then it is enough long time plant growth will be completely concentrated on increasing the root system, which will lead to a slowdown in the growth of stems, flowers and leaves);
  • fragments of broken bricks, pots or purchased expanded clay for flowers.

If used for transplantation planting pots, in which there were previously other flowers, it is strongly recommended to treat them before introducing new ones. Before disturbing the plant, water it generously and wait about an hour until it saturates the soil, then pull out the flower along with the soil (if the vessel fits too tightly, you can hold it against the wall with a knife, only very carefully so as not to damage the roots).

A little filler (clay fragments or expanded clay) and a little earth are poured into the bottom of the new pot, after which the voids around the edges of the vessel are filled and a little sprinkled on top.
The soil around the stem must be compacted with your hands so that the plant does not squint and grows vertically. Water thoroughly and leave in the shade for several days.
After about a week, the flower can be transferred to its original place.

What days are favorable for replanting indoor plants?

When can you replant indoor flowers? Favorable days For planting indoor plants can be determined using the lunar calendar. This is a reliable and proven way to determine the planting day after which growth will be most active.

The effects of lunar activity have nothing to do with magic. Depending on how close the Moon is to the Earth, the speed of movement of fluids in all organisms changes. This is why knowledge of the days when the Moon is in the most favorable position for planting flowers is so necessary.

The inhabitants of planet Earth depend on the cosmic environment. This influence is experienced by all living beings from humans to plants. It has long been noted that the development of indoor flowers occurs better during certain periods. And here we cannot do without the influence of the Earth’s celestial satellite, the Moon, the radiation of which is important for biological processes various organisms.

Humanity has experienced the gravitational forces of the Moon since ancient times. The natural satellite of the Earth takes part in the life of all living organisms on the planet even now. It is known that changes in the position of the night light affect the state of plants. Rotating around the Earth, the Moon interacts with the biorhythms of representatives of the animal and plant world.

Transplant indoor crops can be considered the same stress for a green organism as moving to new apartment. To eliminate vulnerability, flowers need to choose only those days that will have a positive effect on the results of the transplant; you can find them out using the lunar calendar.

The meaning of the lunar calendar for the florist

Lunar calendars began to be created in order to correctly distribute work on caring for garden and indoor plants. When compiling a calendar, the phases of the moon and the location of the satellite in a particular zodiac sign are taken into account.

Scientists who closely monitor the night luminary have proven that the germination of seedlings and flowering completely depends on changes in the position of the Moon.

After analyzing observational data, lunar calendars were created for each year for agricultural work. The calendar marks favorable days for replanting plants, watering and applying fertilizers. The human influence on the growth of indoor flowers during a certain period of their growing season is taken into account. The florist simply needs to rely on the lunar calendar and carry out those procedures that will be favorable for a particular plant.

The lunar month consists of 28 days and is divided into several phases. Depending on the passage of the natural satellite around the Earth, work with indoor plants is also carried out:

  • During the new moon, the satellite is barely visible in the sky. During these days vitality accumulate in the stems and leaves of flowers. The plant is not yet ready for changes, but expects them in the near future.
  • When the Moon is waxing, the ends of the month are directed to the left. The time has come for indoor plants to be transplanted into other pots. Even if you don’t plan a procedure, you can replace the old soil in the containers with a new one. The plants will easily tolerate transplantation and will quickly take root.
  • In the first quarter lunar month the right side of the planet is visible in the sky. At this time, plants are full of strength to survive the planting and propagation procedures.
  • During the full moon phase, the disk is completely visible. This moment is considered critical for ornamental crops. They should not be injured, and the soil in the pots should not be dug up or loosened.
  • During the waning moon, it is forbidden to touch plants or replant them, since even minor damage is dangerous for indoor crops. An exception is made for tuberous plants, which easily tolerate transplantation.
  • In the last quarter of the lunar month, only the left part of the disk is illuminated. At this time, the vital energy of plants declines. They can be fed so that they can continue the growing season.

The procedure for planting and propagating plants should be planned depending on the phase of the lunar month.

In addition to the growth of the Moon, the passage of a satellite through the zodiac constellations also affects plants. Among the signs that have a fruitful effect on the growth of indoor flowers are Taurus, Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Libra, Capricorn. Gemini, Aries, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius are considered neutral.

The signs of the zodiac constellations in combination with the Moon are active in relation to indoor ornamental crops, helping them to develop and bloom.

When the Moon is in its waxing period in the constellations Pisces and Scorpio, then replanting indoor flowers will be successful. It is a favorable time to transplant tubers and flower bulbs if the night star is growing and is in the constellation Capricorn. And the waning phase of the Moon in Scorpio will allow the bulb to successfully adapt to the new soil and pot.

But in the waning phase, when the satellite is in the signs of Gemini, Aquarius and Libra, it is better to prune plants, fertilize and water them. But if during this period she is in the constellation Sagittarius or Virgo, then this favorable time for transplanting liana-like plants or hanging-type flowers.

When the Moon is in Aries, this is the most unfavorable day for feeding. Plants will not be able to fully absorb useful elements, and fertilizing will be done in vain. The night luminary passing through the sign of Leo will help plants fight pests and diseases.

In the spring, starting in March, it is best to replant indoor plants. At this time, most of the flowers begin to prepare for awakening. Enough accumulates in roots and leaves nutrients, so the transplant will be successful. The plants will quickly take root and begin to grow. Transplantation is often combined with pruning and propagation of indoor crops.

It is more favorable to transplant in;

  • early March
  • from March 18 to 30
  • April 19 – 29
  • 2-3 days before the full moon, which will occur on March 31 and April 30
  • mid-May: 16th and 17th
  • May 20-28

It is best to replant from March to April, but in May those plants that have already bloomed are replanted. The procedure is ideal for euphorbia plant species that bloom in winter. It is imperative to choose the time for transplantation in the spring, based on favorable days of the calendar.

When should you not replant indoor flowers in the spring?

The first half of March after the 2nd to the 16th is considered unfavorable for flower growth. It is prohibited to replant on March 31 and April 30.

The first half of the month is not used for transplantation in May. It will be unfavorable for the procedure, because the plants will not be able to adapt to the new conditions and will get sick.

About transplanting plants in summer (June, July, August): which days are better

In the summer, rarely do flower growers begin planting plants and propagating them. During this period, replanting work cannot be carried out. But if the flowers have finished growing, they rest at this time, they slow down life processes, then you can transship the faded specimens:

  • Most often, work is carried out from June 14 to the 26-27th.
  • In July they are successfully transplanted from 20 to 22, but only when urgent need. This happens when the plant is sick. If the soil is contaminated, it is also possible to replace the pot with new disinfected soil.
  • For August, it would be more correct to start watering, fertilizing indoor crops, and preventing diseases. But if the plant requires emergency help, they are transshipping it into a new spacious container from August 12 to 24.

Unfavorable and prohibited days for transplantation during summer

Although all days of the summer months are not suitable for replanting plants, if necessary, you can choose a favorable time. After all, it won’t be easy to survive the procedure when you don’t have enough strength to get stronger after it. It is better to choose more successful days and replant the plant without destroying the clod of earth around the roots.

It is imperative to pay attention to unfavorable days in order to preserve your favorite flower.

But you cannot even replant indoor flowers in this way, on days of summer when the Moon is in its waning phase or immediately after the new moon. It is better to wait a few days and carry out the procedure.

The ban on actions with the plant is imposed on the dates of June - 13 and 28, July - 13 and 27, August - 11 and 26. On these days it is forbidden to plant indoor crops.

In autumn, the period ends for many indoor crops. active growth, they are preparing for vacation. For these types of plants, replanting with soil replacement cannot be carried out. After all, fresh soil in a pot will cause the flowers to grow, and they will fail proper development. It is better to transship the plants so as not to upset its balance.

  • From September 10 to September 23, violets are expected to be transplanted, as they will begin to bloom within a month. They will tolerate the procedure well.
  • From October 10 to October 23, you can transship flowers such as asparagus. For many, a period of rest begins in mid-autumn, so it is better not to touch the flowers or do any work with them.
  • In November they are transplanted only in emergency cases, preferably on the 8th, 16th-18th. Bulbous varieties of flowers should not be touched. They may not survive the procedure and die.

After replanting, do not forget about additional lighting of the plants, humidity and air temperature in the room.

Unfavorable and prohibited days for transplantation in the fall

Since not all flowers tolerate transplantation well in the fall, it is better not to touch them on unfavorable days. It is necessary to give plants the opportunity to prepare for a long winter, during which they need to accumulate strength and stock up on energy for growth and development.

It is prohibited even to replant plants by transshipment on days such as September 9 and 25, October 9 and 24, and November 7 and 23. At this time, the position of the night light has an unfavorable effect on indoor plants. It is possible to carry out a transplant, but the result will be disastrous. The flower will begin to wither and will not be able to start growing in the spring. And you will have to forget about its flowering.

Favorable days for transplantation in winter (December, January, February)

The first month of winter for many indoor crops is the beginning of hibernation and dormancy. Therefore, it is necessary to leave the plants without stressful procedures and not touch them. Only cacti and succulents can survive transplantation, but only by transshipment:

  • It is better to do this between December 8 and December 20. The twenties are the most favorable, as the Moon will be in the constellation Taurus.
  • When a green pet feels unwell and is rotting, it can be transplanted in January from the 18th to the 30th. The procedure will be more successful on January 20, 21 and 25, 26. At this time, the Moon's priority is the signs of Pisces and Taurus. It is necessary at this time to start preparing for future plant transplantation, because the dormant period will soon end.
  • February is the best month to start updating the soil and containers. From the 16th to the end of the month comes favorable period for transplantation. Many types of indoor crops are beginning to wake up, and life processes are activating in them. After transplantation at this time, they will quickly take root, will not get sick, and will bloom on time.

When is it forbidden to replant indoor flowers in winter?

An unfavorable period for plants to plant in a new pot will be January - 17th and 31st, February - 15th, December 7th and 22nd. These days you should not take care of indoor plants. You can only water them moderately, feed them occasionally, and prepare them for the active period of life.

To accurately determine whether a pet can be transplanted or not, you need to monitor the night light in the sky.

On the day of the new moon and full moon, there are prohibitions for gardeners; the risk of disturbing the plant and harming it increases. This also applies to the day lunar eclipses. It is better to rely on the lunar calendar when caring for indoor flowers, so that all operations with plants go well.

To transplant home flower, you need to prepare for work:

  1. choose the appropriate diameter pot
  2. disinfect the container and nutrient soil
  3. pour a drainage layer of pebbles, coarse sand, expanded clay into the pot
  4. the day before transplanting, water the plants generously
  5. arrange a workplace

If it is decided to transship the plants, then they are removed from the container carefully, without disturbing the lump of earth on the roots. Immediately transfer to another container, placing it in it and filling it with fresh substrate from the sides and on top of the drainage layer. The method is suitable for transplanting in winter and autumn.

When it is necessary to treat the roots of a plant, during the procedure the roots are cleared of soil, inspected, and damaged parts are removed. In this case, the soil is completely replaced, and the pot is replaced as necessary. If you leave the old one, then it is washed and disinfected with boiling water or.

When filling the pot with soil, you must leave a space of 1-2 centimeters to the edges so that the soil does not wash out when watering.

After the work is done, you need to place the pot with the plant in a shaded place where the air temperature will be within 25 degrees Celsius. The best time to transplant would be early spring. But there is no need to touch the specimens blooming at this moment. They may not survive such stress. Transplantation is also carried out when the flower begins to wither and turn yellow. This is a signal that the roots do not have enough space in the pot, and you need to change the pet’s housing.

The time of day is playing important role in the procedure. It is necessary not to touch the plants in the early morning or at noon. The soil is renewed from 16 to 20 pm. It is better to choose the date of transplantation according to the lunar calendar compiled for the year.

  1. The plant becomes cramped in the pot. It’s easy to find out: just remove the flower from the pot along with a lump of earth. If root system tightly entwines the entire lump - which means it’s time to choose a larger container.
  2. The earth has become musty and has a characteristic swampy smell. This is even easier to determine. The plant should not be allowed to remain in such soil for a long time.
  3. The flower stopped growing. Its growing season is shortened and development is practically absent. Among a number of reasons for this condition, there may be a need for a transplant.

Best time to transplant

Replanting into a new pot and fresh soil can be divided into 2 types:

  • Planned.
  • Emergency.

If the container is damaged or is not at all suitable for normal growth, then it is necessary to replace it, regardless of the time of year and stage of development.

In a standard situation, the timing of transplantation is affected by the stage of the plant's growing season. The optimal period is considered to be early spring. The body emerges after winter during a period of active growth and its parts have not yet begun rapid growth. Therefore, owners prefer to change the soil and pot after winter.

Among the additional parameters, some owners monitor the phases of the moon - during the growing disk it is best to work with plants.


When is it better not to transplant?

There must be precise indications for transplantation. Young organisms need to change the soil every year. Mature ones get by once every 2-3 years.

There are 4 periods of time when replanting indoor plants is not recommended:

  1. During rest. IN winter time it completely stops the flow of all processes, and the load in the form of a transplant can lead to the death of the body.
  2. In the flowering stage. During the most active stage of development during the year, the plant directs all resources to the creation of seeds and fruits. There is simply no strength left for transplantation. You can provoke exhaustion of the body.
  3. Immediately after purchase (transportation).
  4. Transplantation is not allowed in case of illness. At this time, it is weakened and may not be able to cope with such a load.

Carefully monitor the development of the flower and build a replanting schedule in accordance with this. Replacing the soil and moving it to a new pot at one of the listed time intervals is permissible only in emergency(broken container, critical condition of the flower due to poor soil) and must be done with extreme caution.


Features and rules for replanting indoor plants

The technology for replanting indoor plants is divided into 3 types depending on the depth of work and soil replacement:

  • Complete transplant.
  • Transferring the earthen clod into a new container.
  • Replacement of the top layer of soil.

In the first case, the plant is carefully removed from the pot and cleaned of soil particles. After this, the organism is placed in prepared soil.

The most common method of replanting is transshipment. To do this, prepare the pot and move the entire lump from the old to the new.

Partial replacement of the existing soil allows you to stimulate the growth of the flower and provide it with new necessary minerals and elements. You need to loosen and carefully pull out a layer of 4-5 centimeters from the top of the lump and pour fresh mixture in its place. Be sure to water thoroughly afterwards.

Step-by-step transplant instructions

Replanting a houseplant requires the gardener to strictly follow the sequence of actions and pay attention to every detail. The process includes the following stages (in chronological order):

  1. After deciding on the need for replanting, you must prepare the entire list of required tools and items: fresh soil, a pot, a watering can, a spatula, etc. You should not waste time searching desired element for work - the plant should not be left out of the ground for a long time.
  2. The plant needs to be watered abundantly. An hour after watering, remove earthen lump along with a potted plant. To do this, turn the container over and tap the edges of the bottom. In case of difficulties, help yourself with a knife or a special flat spatula. The goal is to cause as little damage to the soil as possible and preserve its structure.
  3. Pour drainage into the new pot (shards, expanded clay), having previously pledged drainage hole.
  4. We install the removed earthen lump into the container. It is important to place the plant strictly vertically for normal development. You will definitely have gaps between the lump and the walls of the pot. They should be covered with prepared moist soil.
  5. We are compacting the soil. Use your fingers to press down the bulk soil and form an even horizon of soil.
  6. After final placement of the flower, water it generously and place it in a place protected from open sunlight.

Shelf life: at least 1 week. Watering should be done very carefully, and the leaves will have to be sprayed every day. Attention! When preparing new soil, consult a specialist. Even the most best mixture may have a negative impact on development a separate type . So be careful and provide a specific species of organism suitable conditions


for growth and development.

Care after transplant You have transplanted a houseplant into a new (or cleaned) old pot

. The soil was replaced. Now it is important to provide him with care in the first period after the work.

  • To do this you should do the following: Constant spraying and watering of the soil.
  • You cannot oversaturate the soil with moisture, but periodically providing the plant with water is extremely important for development. Placing the organism in a special greenhouse.
  • This will be required if damage to the flower structure is detected during transplantation. Adding special preparations to irrigation water.
  • They should be used only if there are clear factors indicating this. Do not apply fertilizers to fresh soil for 2–3 months.

– this will lead to oversaturation with vitamins and depression of the body.


Immediately after replanting, the plant will get used to the new conditions, so you should not expect rapid growth. On the contrary, most likely there will be a stop and slow development. Do not worry! After a short time, all processes stabilize.

Basic mistakes When working, it is important to take into account his needs for transplantation and provide him optimal conditions . There are a number of common mistakes among flower growers that lead to negative consequences


  • (disease, decreased growth rate, death): Incorrect selection of soil type and mixture composition.
  • This limits the supply of nutrients and disrupts the required balance of air and water. For the full development of a flower, the soil must meet the requirements of a particular species. Replanting while preserving the transport soil. Often, flower growers sell plants in special mixture , which is not suitable for growing on long time
  • . Therefore, you will have to completely get rid of the unknown soil and replace it with a new, suitable mixture. You cannot prune the plant the day before, during, or immediately after replanting.
  • This will cause him double stress and may lead to death. Most plants do not need vitamins and other substances during the replanting process. These drugs are necessary only and exclusively in case of damage and disease of the body. They must not be abused!
  • When transplanting, it is important to maintain the depth of the position. If you place it deeper than in the previous pot, it will limit the growth of the flower. With less depth, the root system may crawl out.

Even experienced flower growers make annoying mistakes. Prepare for replanting - study the characteristics of a particular species and observe its behavior in the first weeks after being placed in new soil.

  • Gradually increase the size and volume of the pot. A sharp jump to large containers will lead to slower growth.
  • The clay pot should be placed in water overnight, and fill the drainage hole with shards before adding new soil.
  • Choose soil taking into account the preferences of a particular species. Universal mixtures may not meet the requirements, so flower growers resort to making their own compositions with the obligatory addition of peat.
  • If the roots are too tight around the earthen ball or the root system is underdeveloped, then you will need to carefully clean it of adhering soil using a knife or fork.
  • Only adapted plants that have already become accustomed after transportation can be replanted. You should not change the soil in the first days after purchasing a flower!
  • Be sure to place a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot(its thickness varies depending on the type of flower).
  • Each species requires a special attitude towards its root system: some plants require root pruning, in others it is strictly forbidden to trim the shoots. Check with specialists for handling roots.
  • The best pot material is clay. It ensures proper air exchange and simplifies the development of the plant and working with it. Plastic analogues often cause delayed development and disease.

Subject to the listed rules your plant will live the entire allotted period and will develop correctly and naturally.
