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 are planted 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 during favorable periods will help the flowers better adapt to new living conditions. This is a kind of shield against disease and damage.
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 or another phase of the Moon and gradually systematized their phenological observations. This is how the lunar calendar appeared, which helps you choose best dates for collecting 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 lunar calendar of 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 useful substances. 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 signs Zodiac 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 For many decorative foliage plants (ficus rubber and Benjamina, dracaena, asparagus, peperomia obtufolia 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 waxing Moon passes through the constellations Pisces, Scorpio, Libra, Gemini.
❺ For transplants overhead indoor species(campanula bell, 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.

When examining a large specimen, move the soil away from the edges of the container with a wide knife or a special spatula.

How do the phases of the moon affect plant growth?
Scientists have long proven the influence of lunar energy on all living things. Indoor flowers are no exception: their growth and development are associated with lunar periods. Therefore, when doing gardening and flower growing work, you should take into account what phase the moon is in at the moment.
In total there are up to 8 lunar phases. The waxing moon has a beneficial effect on flowers, which is very symbolic. As the moon passes through each phase, it is necessary to perform the recommended manipulations for good growth and development of indoor crops.
There are 4 main phases of the moon. Let's consider them separately.
New moon
The new moon phase lasts 3 days. During this phase, plants grow poorly; they should be kept quiet and not actively cared for.
Prohibited during the new moon:
- Planting and replanting.
- Treat the roots.
- Vaccinate indoors.
Waxing moon phase
This is the most favorable period for plant growth.
- Plant seeds and shoots.
- Replant overgrown flowers.
- Cultivate and fertilize the soil.
- Inoculate the soil.
- Water and water the flowers.
Full moon
The full moon phase, like the new moon, lasts only 3 days. WITH gardening work During this vulnerable period, care should be taken not to harm the plants.
Recommended:
- Remove weeds.
- Practice pest control.
- Treat leaves and stems for diseases.
Prohibited during the full moon:
- Transplant the plant to a new location.
- Trimming branches, this can lead to injury to the shoots.
- Plant home crops.
Waning phase of the moon
During the waning moon, there is a direct impact of lunar energy on the roots of plants. During this period, you need to be careful with replanting so as not to harm the roots. But you can actively care for the trunk, leaves, flowers and fruits during this period.
- Plant young shoots.
- Thin out overgrown seedlings.
- Removing bugs and weeds.
- Treatment of flower diseases.
- Fertilization with useful elements.
- Trimming, shaping.

Conclusion
Knowing the influence of the moon on the condition of plants, you can be sure that you will not harm indoor flowers unnecessary manipulations.
It is convenient to have on hand a table of favorable and not auspicious days for replanting house plants, so as not only not to cause stress, but also to help the flower take root in the new pot. By applying the information from the article, your indoor plants will feel good all year round.
It is better to care for flowers in certain days. Many indoor plant lovers grow them at random, especially beginner gardeners. And they are faced with the problem of insufficient growth, poor survival rate after transplantation - even to the death of plants.
Meanwhile, most problems can be easily avoided if you approach the matter correctly. You can get all necessary information about the technology of replanting indoor plants in a calendar for gardeners. It indicates the time favorable for activities such as watering, fertilizing and changing soil. Flowers transplanted these days easily take root and grow actively.
Techniques for proper transplantation
Replanting an indoor flower is required when the leaves wither, the soil becomes raised, and flowering disappears. Most often, the soil needs to be replaced. New pot you should take about 4 cm larger than the previous one.
To remove the flower, carefully moisten the soil and carefully remove the plant along with the soil. Place drainage in a layer of about 1 cm at the bottom of the new pot. If the container is large, the thickness of the layer can reach up to 5 cm. Pour soil on top in the form of a mound and strengthen the plant.
About the most favorable days for replanting indoor plants
You cannot place the flower in the sun or fertilize it immediately after the procedure. Transplantation should be performed in the absence of flowering, taking into account a certain time of year. The most suitable periods for this procedure are March-April and September-October. It should not be forgotten that any of the plants has individual characteristics, can bloom and grow actively at completely different times.
The best time to change the soil is when the sap is moving towards the stem and leaves. Take root in new soil plants with reduced elasticity of the root system. When transplanted, they are less susceptible to breakage and other negative impacts.
Determining the optimal timing
It is recommended to change the soil of the flower during the waxing phase of the moon. You can determine it by looking at a special lunar calendar. Experts recommend changing the soil at specific periods. These are the spring months - March and May, the summer months - July and August, the whole autumn without restrictions (on favorable days), from winter months- December.
These tips are based on years of research. It is believed that on the mentioned dates the change of habitat occurs less painfully, and the negative effects are little perceived by plants.
What is the lunar calendar for replanting indoor plants
It is compiled by research specialists in order to simplify the task of caring for representatives of the plant kingdom. The lunar calendar contains information on the topic of loosening, watering and other care. There are detailed days when the flower’s habitat should not be changed.
It is compiled according to the lunar phases. If you follow these recommendations when replanting indoor plants according to the lunar calendar, your flower will not have problems getting used to the new pot. It will begin to grow actively. There are also days in the calendar when any manipulations with plants are highly discouraged. The risk of damage during transplantation for a flower is quite high, and to avoid it you should listen to the advice of specialists.
Below we provide a lunar calendar for indoor plants and flowers for 2017.
Moon phases and our flowers
The state of the moon is considered a serious factor affecting the process of growing flowers. The stem actively lengthens and feeds on sap during the growth phase. When the celestial satellite is in the full moon phase, changing the habitat of the flower should be avoided. This is because the root system is currently actively feeding.
On the days of lunar eclipses, nature provides moments of rest and accumulation of strength. All living things are slowly reborn, and therefore working with the earth during this period is not recommended. It is precisely this data that astrologers rely on when compiling a lunar calendar for replanting indoor plants.
About zodiac signs
When caring for plants, it is recommended to take into account which zodiac sign the moon is in at one time or another. Favorable signs include Scorpio, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Pisces. When the moon is “visiting” Leo or Aquarius, working with the earth is not recommended. All other signs, according to astrologers, do not actively influence flowers.
All of the above is quite understandable from a scientific point of view. After all, the position of the moon affects the state of the water, sea tides and tides. The nature of our entire planet, along with the process of vegetation growth, largely depends on the lunar phases.
How does this happen
Those dates of the lunar calendar that are indicated as favorable days for replanting indoor plants coincide with the period when the juice moves to the stem and leaves, that is, to the top of the flower. At the same time, the root system experiences a decrease in turgor and slight dehydration of cells, as a result of which they become less fragile. That is why replanting under these conditions is tolerated as easily as possible, as is the process of taking root in the new soil. Then you can successfully propagate flowers by cuttings, using the most favorable days for replanting indoor flowers.
The above coincides with the waxing phase of the moon. When it decreases, the opposite happens - the roots are filled with moisture. They should not be disturbed at this time. Thus, blooming and healthy looking indoor garden it is much easier to achieve by consulting the recommendations of the lunar calendar.
In emergency situations
We do not consider cases where an emergency transplant procedure may be required. Pests may suddenly appear, pots sometimes break, and stems break. If it is necessary to urgently save a flower, of course, they no longer pay attention to the schedule. A similar procedure is recommended outside of the plan in the case of crushing and yellowing of leaves, or a long absence of flowering.
If the plant has bloomed, it is not advisable to replant it even on one of the favorable days for replanting indoor flowers. There is a very high probability that green pet As a result, he will fall ill for a long time, and it will be very difficult to cure him.
What to do at other times
There are also unfavorable days for transplanting and planting plants, as well as relatively neutral ones. This time can be filled with procedures of a less radical nature. We are talking about fertilizing, loosening, watering, and treating pests. But on those dates that are indicated in the calendar as completely unfavorable, it is better to leave the flowers completely alone. No type of care at this time will benefit the plant.
The most unsuitable days for transplantation are those when there are lunar and solar eclipses(including partial). The vulnerability of flowers at this time is increased, and even the most minor injury can destroy the plant.
Why do you need regular transplantation?
There may be several reasons for this:
1. Overgrown roots no longer fit in the usual container. The earth begins to rise, making watering difficult.
2. Due to hard water, salts accumulate in the soil, making it difficult for the flower to feed.
3. The soil is depleted, its organic component decomposes. As a result, fertilizing does not give the desired effect.
4. Due to soil compaction, oxygen starvation of the roots occurs.
The function of indoor plants is not only decorative. They can significantly improve the microclimate of a living space by humidifying and air conditioning, as well as neutralizing positively charged ions emitted household appliances. Many types of flowers save owners from harmful emissions from finishing and furniture materials by absorbing toxins.
Even in the absence of strict compliance with the requirements of the lunar calendar, the plant will tolerate replanting work better when it is done in the spring, during the warm season. It is then that they determine permanent place residence for rooted cuttings. If for some reason you decide to have an “operation” in the fall, careful observance of favorable days for replanting indoor plants is even more important.
Using this approach, you will speed up the growth of your favorite variety and get a lot of little “babies”. Compiling a lunar calendar on your own is a rather difficult task. Ordinary amateur flower growers, as a rule, cannot do it. After all, professional astrologers take into account in their work big number various factors: from lunar days and months before the position of the sun and moon in certain zodiac signs.
Flowers in spring and winter
All work with house plants is resumed, as a rule, in April - due to warming and increasing daylight hours. In the last month of spring, juices actively circulate in flowers, metabolic processes (respiration, photosynthesis) accelerate, and greenery begins to grow intensively. Such days are good for rejuvenating overgrown bushes and moving to a new place.
Winter replanting is not recommended. This is due to the fact that during the cold season a quiet period begins and any process in the living organism of a flower tends to slow down. To avoid harm, gardeners try not to touch plants in winter.
By following these simple recommendations regarding favorable days for replanting indoor plants and carefully adhering to the lunar calendar, you will be able to surround your green pets true love and care. And then your efforts will pay off handsomely!
