Basic rules for replanting indoor plants. How to transplant flowers correctly

Hello!

Agree, flowers in the house are a joy for the soul, a kind of little oasis, looking at which we give rest to both our nerves and our eyes tired of the computer and TV. Beneficial features indoor plants are very multifaceted and it is not for nothing that housewives enjoy breeding them.

Moreover, most flowers do not require our constant attention; most often they only have to be watered, and all other “operations” must be carried out from time to time - fertilizing, spraying, replanting.

And today we will master the most important operation, we will learn how to correctly replant indoor flowers that have long taken root in our home, and flowers purchased in a store.

So, based on our requests, we chose a flower and, satisfied with the purchase, brought it home. Now it is imperative to follow all the rules for transplantation, otherwise after a while you will have to hold a funeral ceremony to remove the dried “body”. Either in best case scenario the flower will hurt for a long time, get used to it, but will never become as beautiful as it was at first.

Transplanting purchased flowers has its own nuances, during which housewives often make the same mistakes. If you are planning to transplant an already established pet, then points 3-5 will be useful to you.

Error one

After purchase, the plant is immediately placed next to other house flowers.

You shouldn’t do this, because if your “newbie” is infested with pests, it will also harm its neighbors. Therefore, after purchasing, we send the plant to “quarantine”, during which time it will at the same time be able to “get used” to the house. Usually “flower quarantine” lasts 1-2 weeks, during which the flower acclimatizes, and we do not disturb it, do not fertilize it or replant it.

During this time, we observe the plant and if pests and pathogens do not appear on it, then we safely place it in our collection. If they do appear, then we “identify” the pest and neutralize it by treating it with special preparations.

Error two

And the most important thing is that a flower bought in a store is left to grow in the same pot in which it was sold.

The fact is that transporting natural soil in open containers (which are flower pots) across the border is prohibited. Therefore, manufacturers replace the nutrient soil with an inert mixture during transportation.

The inert mixture is a combination of coconut flakes, perlite ( natural form volcanic glass) and long-acting concentrated fertilizers. Plants can live and develop in such a mixture only for a limited period of time. And if you don’t rid the plant’s root system of it, they will die.

Alternatively, plants in stores may be kept in peat, which is also detrimental to them at home.

Several times during transplantation, right in the main pot of soil, on the roots of the flowers, I discovered special bags or small pots. If they are not removed, the plant will simply stop growing and developing. Therefore, replanting flowers in pots is vital.

Error three

Incorrectly selected soil.

There are now primers on sale for different types plants. But, based on my experience, I will say that they are still not ideal for replanting your green pets. And almost always, the composition of the soil has to be adjusted.

Soils can be:

Too dense, then we add additives to it that will loosen it, allowing the roots of the plant to breathe. You can add coarse sand (river, lake), or perlite, which we talked about above, to in this case performing the functions of sand. Or long-fiber peat (in which imported plants grow in stores).

If the soil, on the contrary, is too peaty, it is necessary to compact it by adding a more dense and nutritious type of turf soil.

Error four

Flowers are transplanted according to a gentle scheme

That is, the flower is transplanted into home potty along with some of the soil from the purchased pot in which it grew. This technique is not suitable for purchased flowers.

In transplanting imported plants the most important role technology plays a role, with it, first of all, we must cleanse the root system of the plant from the “substrate” in which it was located from the moment it left the foreign greenhouse until the moment it arrived at your home.

Remove the plant from the transport pot and place its roots in a container with warm water from the tap to soak them. While the flower is soaking, we place drainage at the bottom of the pot and add nutritious soil.

When the main part of the substrate “falls off” from the roots of the plants, carefully remove it, holding it by the base of the trunk, and transfer it under running water. Under running water, completely wash away the remaining substrate from the roots. After this, it is recommended to spray the root system with a preparation like Kornevin, but to be honest, I have never done this.

Carefully lower the plant onto the prepared soil and completely sprinkle the roots on top. Then water generously with warm, settled water.

When transplanting indoor indoor flowers, we use the same technology.

The only exception is that we do not wash off the soil from the roots, but only shake it off a little and lower the plant, along with the remnants of the “native” soil, into the prepared pot, fill the root system with the prepared soil and water it with settled water. That’s it, our flower is absolutely happy 🙂, but it’s still weak, so we protect the transplanted flower from cooling, drafts and waterlogging.

Error five

Early plant feeding

After such a “cruel” transplant, many housewives want to help their pet recover and settle into new conditions, for which they begin to add various supplements.

But this should not be done under any circumstances; you can start feeding the transplanted plant no earlier than a month and a half later, and only after it shows the first signs of normal rooting - new leaves, sprouts, and shoots will appear.

The transplant method I described may seem too traumatic. But don’t be afraid, in fact it turns out to be much more humane for the plant, since the pet will not suffer in a substrate unusual for its habitat.

I applied this method of transplantation to all plants purchased in the store, and they all tolerated it safely, continuing to grow and delight with their beauty. The only “missing” plant I had was myrtle, but it disappeared due to improper care behind him, the intricacies of which at that time I did not know, but this is a completely different story.

I hope that my experience in replanting green pets will be useful to you, and if I missed anything in the article, I will be glad to receive your tips.

Houseplants beneficial for human health

Absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen:

Sansiviera, which is popularly called “pike tail”;
chlorophytum;
a coffee tree.

Plants that can absorb dust. Conifers have these properties:

pine;
juniper;
cypress.

In the house, of course, they can only be in the form of a small coniferous tree - bonsai. I have never come across coniferous bonsai in flower shops, and even searching for them on the Internet has not yet yielded results. Although I would buy such a bonsai with great pleasure.

Fight harmful bacteria:

chlorophytum;
asparagus;
monstera;
myrtle;
eucalyptus.

They help relieve tension and fatigue, soothe and improve sleep, so it makes sense to place them in the bedroom:

rosemary;
Melissa;
and the well-known geranium.

Deal with toxins:

ivy;
ficus;
philodendron;
dracaena;
aloe.

Azalea or rhododendron have a rare gift.

A houseplant can die from many factors: from a genetic disease to unexpected drying out. It is in your hands to monitor their health - follow a number of necessary actions, and you will preserve it for a long time. One of important events– transplantation. There is a set of strict rules to ensure the development of the flower. Below are the main ones.

When do indoor flowers need replanting?

Before you start replanting, you need to make sure that this is necessary. Transplantation is a huge stress for any representative of the flora. Replacing a lived-in and suitably fertilized pot and soil with a completely new one brings a lot of worries and difficulties.

You can determine whether replacement is necessary based on two main indicators:

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.
The earth has become musty and has a characteristic swampy smell. This is even easier to determine. The plant should not be allowed for a long time was in such soil.
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 completely unsuitable for normal height, 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 growing season plants. 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 to replant houseplants Not recommended:

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.
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.
Immediately after purchase (transportation).
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):

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 looking for the right element for the job - the plant should not be left out of the ground for a long time.
The plant needs to be watered abundantly. An hour after watering, remove the earthen ball along with the plant from the pot. 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.
Pour drainage into the new pot (shards, expanded clay), having previously laid a drainage hole.
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.
We are compacting the soil. Use your fingers to press down the bulk soil and form an even horizon of soil.
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 best mixture can negatively affect 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 flow nutrients, disrupts the required balance of air and water. For full development flower soil must meet the requirements of a particular species.
Replanting while preserving the transport soil. Often, gardeners sell plants in a special mixture that is not suitable for growing outdoors. 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.
Excessive moisturizing and adding special products. 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 comfortable 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.

Offensive optimal time for replanting an indoor flower, all plants have different time. Therefore it is impossible to give one universal advice for all plants at once. But people often think about replanting when the roots of an indoor flower entwine almost the entire earthen ball. This can be noticed not by the root part, since it is located inside the flower container, but by changes in the condition of the upper part of the plant.

One of the main signs is stagnation of water on the soil surface and sudden shedding of the leaf part, even with full compliance with all the rules for caring for indoor plants.

Entwining of an earthen ball with the root system of a plant occurs if the flower has not been replanted for ten or more years. The houseplant is growing and actively developing. It increases the number of shoots, blooms, new branches and leaves constantly appear, which means that its roots thicken and branch. The underground part of the flower gradually grows so that it simply becomes crowded in the flower pot, and it begins to harm the life of the entire plant with its root system. If you do not transplant your pet into a container in time bigger size, then you can lose it.

Amateur gardeners should pay attention to the plant and think about replanting it when the following main signs appear:

After watering, water very quickly reaches the drainage holes and flows out of them or, conversely, stands in a puddle on the surface due to the impermeability of the top layer of soil.
The roots are on the surface of the ground or visible from drainage holes.

Indoor plants must be replanted at least once every 2-3 years, regardless of the type and variety of the flora.
In order for the plant to remain healthy after transplantation and continue to develop fully, you need to choose a flower container correct size. The volume of the new pot should not exceed the volume of the previous one by more than 1.5-2 times.
When replanting a plant, it is recommended to carry out serious work with the root system. It needs to be thinned out first. All roots small size, as well as those that have begun to dry out or become damaged, are removed completely. Secondly, you should pay special attention to rotting roots; you need to get rid of them one hundred percent so that the rot does not spread to the remaining parts. It is allowed to remove up to thirty percent of the entire root part of the plant during replanting.
Roots that are bright white are healthy and cannot be removed, but parts of the root system that are too thick should be cut in half.
An earthen lump braided with roots will be easier to remove from the pot if you first water it generously with water. This is especially true for flower containers that taper towards the top.
To stimulate further development and growth, the root part remaining after treatment should be thoroughly shaken before planting in a new container.
Place a houseplant in the center of a larger flower pot and carefully cover it with soil on all sides.
In the first 2 weeks after transplanting the plant into a new container, it is not recommended to apply any fertilizers, as they can cause serious burns to the root system.

No need to worry about slow growth or unsightly appearance plants in the first days after transplantation. A plant in new conditions completely devotes all its energy to the formation of new roots and adaptation to new living conditions.

How to replant plants correctly (video)

The procedure for replanting a houseplant is extremely important for its successful growth. For flowers in the growing stage, it is necessary to periodically replace the pot with a larger one, providing additional space for the developing root system. Renewed soil is a source of a new portion of nutrients for the plant.

When should a plant be replanted?

Conditionally it is possible to divide transplants indoor flowers into two types:

1. Scheduled - carried out on certain days, usually in spring, when the flower emerges from the dormant period into the active growth stage. The reason for such a transplant is the rapid development of the root system and depletion of the soil. For the young fast growing plants Planned transplantation is carried out annually; for adult flowers, one procedure every 2-3 years is enough.
2. Emergency - necessary if there is a suspicion of root pests or root rotting. In case of overwatering, it is recommended to immediately replant the flower to prevent acidification of the soil. This type of transplant is carried out regardless of the time of year, immediately after the problem is detected.

Flowers purchased at the store also need to be replanted. This should not be done immediately, but after 2-4 weeks, so that the plant has time to get used to the new conditions. If the purchase was made in the fall or winter, it is recommended to wait to replant until early spring.

You can understand that a plant is cramped in an old pot and needs soil renewal by the following signs:

the soil does not retain water and dries out faster than usual;
the root system is visible from the drainage holes and on the soil surface;
the pot becomes too small for the flower, the plant outweighs it and falls over;
plant growth slows down and flowering stops;
The transplant took place more than a year and a half ago.

Choosing a pot

When choosing a container for planting, it is important to pay attention not only to decorative qualities, but also such parameters as the shape, size and material of the pot.

The most common and convenient to use are flower pots round shape, somewhat widened at the top. It is also possible to use containers of other shapes, for example, pots in the shape of a cylinder or rectangle look very original. According to gardeners, pots whose shape tapers towards the top are very inconvenient and are not recommended for use. Regardless of the choice, the presence of drainage holes is a prerequisite.

The diameter of the new pot should be 3-5 cm larger than the old one. It is important to remember that transplanting the plant into a container that is too large will not be beneficial.

The most common materials for manufacturing flower pots are clay and plastic.

Pot material	Advantages	Flaws	For which plants is it recommended?
Clay pot	The heavy weight of a clay pot gives additional stability. Thanks to the porous structure, excess moisture in the soil evaporates better, which helps prevent root rotting and helps saturate the roots with oxygen. Good thermoregulation	Breaks when dropped. Reduced durability due to porous structure. Residues of mineral salts on the walls of the pot are sometimes impossible to clean off. High price	Large specimens that may topple from light pots due to own weight, indoor trees
Plastic pot	Light weight, convenient for transporting the plant. Impact resistant. Easy to clean even from mineral salts. Affordable price	Possible acidification of the soil and rotting of the root system due to the accumulation of moisture in the ground. Can get very hot in hot seasons	Small flowering or evergreen plants that require frequent movement

Selecting soil for planting

First of all, the choice of soil depends on the type of plant being transplanted. Commonly used ready mix for a specific plant, it is also possible to make the substrate yourself if you have the necessary knowledge.

If the store does not have a mixture for a particular flower, it is possible to use the soil for another plant, provided that they belong to the same family. When buying soil in a store, you need to pay attention to the expiration date, composition, and acidity level. Recommended to use ready soil from trusted manufacturers (Terra Vita, Fasco).

It is not advisable to plant a plant in the ground from a freshly opened package. It is better if the packaging remains open for some time - this will allow the nitrogen accumulated in the ground to evaporate.

And ready and homemade soil Before boarding, they must undergo a sterilization procedure. To do this, the soil must be moistened and heated in the oven at 100 degrees for at least 1 hour.

Rules and methods of transplantation

Based on the method of carrying out the transplantation, it is divided into the following types:

Conventional - carried out by moving the flower to a new container with complete cleaning of the root system from old soil, pruning roots from damaged or rotten parts. Recommended for emergency transplantation.
The transshipment method involves replanting a flower while preserving the earthen clod. The plant is removed from the old pot and transferred to a new, larger one. Used for planned transplants.

The choice of method depends on the health and age of the flower. For young specimens, seedlings and sprouts, only the transshipment method is recommended. A regular transplant is carried out if rot or other root diseases are suspected.

Transplanting an adult healthy plant, you can choose a method based on the experience of the grower and the type of root system of the flower. Azalea, palm trees, ferns, ficus, Money Tree They react painfully to the transplantation procedure; the risk of damage to the roots of these plants is very high.

TO indoor flowers those with strong roots include chlorophytum, aloe, hibiscus, and monstera. These plants easily tolerate regular transplantation; the slightly injured root system quickly recovers. If the flower was planted in loose soil, clearing the roots from the soil will not be difficult. If the plant was grown in clay soil, you must first soak the earthen lump in water.

Before you start transplanting, it is important to make sure that you have everything on hand necessary tools and materials, namely: a new pot, drainage, soil, shovel. When performing a regular transplant, you will need a sharp knife and charcoal.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Before planting, you need to prepare a pot. A pot that has not been used before must be thoroughly washed; a pot in which flowers have already been grown must be disinfected. It is recommended to soak the clay container and leave it overnight to get rid of any burnt lime residue.
2. Place drainage at the bottom of the pot, which will be broken bricks, expanded clay, shards ceramic tableware or pebbles. Drainage located outside must be disinfected. Depending on how moisture resistant the transplanted plant is, the amount of drainage is calculated. For moisture-loving flowers, such as whitewing, sedge or cyperus, a thin drainage layer is sufficient. For specimens such as dracaena, laurel, succulents, etc., stagnation of moisture is dangerous, so drainage should be up to a third of the volume of the pot.
3. The flower in the old container must be thoroughly watered an hour before transplanting. After this, you need to carefully remove the flower along with the earthen lump.
4. If a regular transplant is carried out, you need to carefully clean the root system of the flower from old soil, rotten or disease-damaged roots. Sprinkle the root removal areas with crushed coal. Spread a thin layer of soil over the drainage layer. Place the plant in a new pot so that the root collar does not reach the edge of the pot by 2 cm.
5. When transplanting using the transshipment method, place the flower in a new container along with a lump of earth.
6. Fill the remaining space with soil. Lightly compact the soil around the stem and add more soil if necessary.
7. After transplanting, the plant must be watered. Flowers that do not require thorough moisture do not need watering; transplanting into moist soil is sufficient.

Some large specimens do not require replanting. In such cases, it is enough to update the top layer of soil with a fresh one.

House flowers need to be replanted from time to time - otherwise they will begin to wither, or at least beautiful view they will stop making you happy. In order for the transplant to be successful, you need to know not only a few simple rules, but also check your actions with the lunar calendar. The earth's satellite, under the influence of which ebbs and flows occur, is capable of reducing the benefit of the excellent initiative with replanting to zero.

Pot size

Reasons for replanting - the flower has grown out of its pot. The roots appeared in drainage holes, visible on the surface. How to choose a size? Eat Golden Rule: If

you place the old pot in the new one, there should be a gap of at least one centimeter between them. Someone will decide to play it safe and choose a vessel twice

more than before - and it will not be entirely right. In some plants, growth and flowering may stop, for example, the root system of a violet needs to occupy the entire volume of the pot, and only then will it begin to bloom again. Plus, in large pots there is a greater chance that the soil will “acidify”: the plant will not be able to “pump” all the moisture that enters the large vessel.

How to transplant?

But it’s better to “get confused” and pick up special mixture: cacti need organic-poor but well-breathing soil, violets need moisture-intensive neutral soil, and ficus loves a substrate saturated with oxygen, and so that there is leafy, turfy soil, peat and sand. It's good that the prepared mixture

sold in stores - for cacti, orchids or the same ficus. Whether to treat it before planting or not - decide for yourself. If you don’t trust the manufacturer or have already had unpleasant incidents, heat the mixture in the oven (1 hour at 100-120 degrees) or pour boiling water over it. At the same time, you need to remember that everything useful - along with harmful ones - will disappear from the soil after such treatment.

When choosing soil, do not forget about drainage, perfect option- expanded clay. A centimeter layer at the bottom is enough. (Some experts also sprinkle the surface of the soil with expanded clay - this reduces the likelihood of moss and mold appearing.) If you want to save money, you can use foam drainage - finely crumble the foam packaging. Or broken brick - the choice is yours.

Once the drainage, soil and pot have been chosen, you can begin planting. It is better to do it a day after abundant watering plants - the earth will not be the same

wet, and it will be easier for you to even get a lump of earth out of the pot. This is especially important if you decide to start a complete transplant - that is, clear the roots of all the old substrate. This option is suitable if the soil is acidic, moldy, or the replanting process itself has not taken place for a very long time.

If the roots become crowded, but there are no complaints about the soil itself, you can use the so-called transshipment - the plant moves to new house with an old lump of earth. In the second case, of course, the roots are much less injured.

Place expanded clay (1 cm) at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of peat or moss will not interfere so that the soil does not wash out of the pot, followed by a small layer of soil and the plant itself, which is carefully sprinkled on all sides. After planting, you need to water it thoroughly and place it on the shady side for a week so that the flower recovers.

When to replant?

It is common knowledge to do this better in spring- it is at this time that the root system grows intensively. Now all that remains is to choose the right day: The best phase of the moon for transplantation is, of course, the new moon and the waxing moon. This period lasts 12 days, so there will be more than enough time for manipulations. If you want tall stems on your flower, replant it closer to the full moon. Want to low growing plant- immediately after the new moon. But knowing the phases of the moon is not enough - you also need to take into account the zodiac sign in which the earth’s satellite is located. Pisces, Libra, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio help flowers grow. By lunar calendar This year the waxing Moon will be in these signs on June 24, July 24, August 22 and December 18.

But you should wait for these dates only if home plant feels quite cheerful. If it turns yellow and withers, take action urgently, regardless of what phase the Moon is in.
