The best time to transplant indoor plants. The most favorable days for replanting indoor plants

Indoor plants are not only a living corner in the house, but extremely beneficial inhabitants for our health. If you want to indoor flowers delighted with lush foliage, abundant and long flowering it is necessary not only to water, to 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 identify 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 lunar calendar 2018.

Observing behavior indoor plants Before and after transplantation, flower growers noticed the influence of three factors on the survival rate - the current lunar day and 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 this moment 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 acidity PH, 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 sheds yellow foliage, grows poorly, does not bloom, and looks sickly.

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 transfer a green pet to a 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 epiphyte 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:

  • needles of 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, having previously removed the old roots, and cover it with a man-made substrate.

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.

The day before transplanting, the flowers must be watered.

The pots need to be prepared: washed and disinfected.

Place drainage in the container and pour in a heap of soil mixture that must meet the requirements of the plants.

First, you need to remove the flower from the previous container and turn it upside down, holding the stem.


It is necessary to shake off the roots from the soil and inspect them to identify old and painful areas that must be removed immediately.

The indoor flower should be placed in a pot, straighten the roots and fill the container with soil mixture, without deepening the roots, crush the soil and leave a space of 2-3 cm to the top.

How do lunar phases affect indoor plants?


It is known that the moon goes through several stages, which influence the flora in their own way. That's why the florist's lunar calendar was created.

Let's list these phases:

  1. Young (growing) moon. This time is the most favorable for placing flowers on garden flower bed or other form of transplantation. The fact is that this process gives plants additional energy, which seriously affects their growth. Astrologers advise taking a closer look at the phases when the Moon passes the constellations of Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Capricorn, and Aquarius.
  2. Waning moon. During this period, all actions with plants, including movements, are excluded, since at this time all energy is concentrated in the root system.
  3. The 2nd and 4th phases are undesirable for transplanting and other flower processing. If you plan to grow street options, then it is better to prepare planting material during this period.

The connection of astrology with indoor flowers

Each phase of the Moon is adjusted by the zodiac sign in which the satellite resides. If sowing is carried out during a “dry” sign, the Moon will not provide it with the energy and strength for productive development.

Fertile signs include: Pisces, Libra, Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Leo.

To the infertile: Sagittarius, Aries.

Medium fertile signs: Aquarius, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn.

Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer are considered “leaf days”; Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn - “root days” when watering is necessary; Gemini, Libra, Aquarius - “flower days”, during which it is better not to provide plants with water.

It’s easier to navigate the lunar calendar when it is presented in table form:

When caring for any seedlings or flowers, you should take into account not only better days for transplantation, but also unfavorable.

We figured out what day it is better to replant indoor flowers, now a little about unfavorable days. Unfavorable days It happens from five to ten per month.

Unfavorable days for replanting indoor plants

Whether or not to focus on the moon when planting and replanting plants is everyone’s business. But the fact that the moon affects the growth and development of plants is a proven fact that you cannot argue with. It was not for nothing that our ancestors revered and respected lunar predictions.

It is usually recommended to replant indoor plants in early spring when they begin to awaken from hibernation. Emerging sprouts or buds can serve as evidence of a flower’s readiness to leave its “home” place. Under no circumstances should you replant a plant at rest or at the moment of flowering.

However, some representatives of the plant world are not particularly sensitive to season changes. If your pet is happy with the inflorescences all year round, you can change his “apartment” soon after he has finished blooming.

Whether a flower needs replanting can be determined by the following signs: it has stopped growing; leaves and flowers have become noticeably smaller than before; the plant withers and turns yellow for no apparent reason.

But there is more reliable way understand whether it is time to change the substrate and increase the size of the dishes. Gently cover the soil with your palm, passing the stem between your fingers, and turn the pot over (do not do this immediately after watering; wait until the soil dries and spread a newspaper on the floor). If the lump of earth does not come out of the pot, lightly tap it on the corner of the table. When examining a large specimen, move the soil away from the edges of the container with a wide knife or a special spatula.

Your task is to examine the root system. If it has grown so much that it fills the entire space, it’s time to increase the size of the pot. It is worth replanting the plant even if you notice darkened and softened roots. The affected areas should be removed, and the cut areas should be sprinkled with charcoal.

What time of day is it best to replant indoor plants?

It is believed that best time days for replanting flowers - from 16.00 to 20.00. It is not recommended to replant flowers in the early morning (when they have not yet woken up) or at noon (when the phase of greatest activity begins). According to the lunar calendar, the first days after the new moon are chosen for transplantation. To determine the specific day of replanting, you can use the lunar calendar for gardeners.
