Favorable days for transplanting indoor plants
Content:
Lovers of indoor plants and flowers, when planting or transplanting their wards, try to combine this with the lunar phases. The intervals favorable for the production of work are combined with the time when it is not advisable to touch the plants in order to avoid their disease or death. The lunar calendar for indoor flowers for 2019, the table of which clearly describes the phases of the Earth's satellite, helps to determine such periods.
Favorable days for transplant
Is it possible to transplant an indoor flower today? Many housewives probably ask themselves such a question, noticing that their pet is cramped in an old pot, or it behaves strangely. The timing, types and intervals between transplants of indoor plants differ among themselves. They are different for each culture. Some can be replanted annually, while others need a pot change several years.
Before deciding on favorable work days, you need to know that you can transplant flowers into pots in the following ways:
- complete soil replacement - removing all the land and freeing the roots from the soil;
- partial replacement - the roots are not completely freed from the soil, a certain amount of soil remains;
- replacing the top layer - replacing the old layer with a new substrate, 5-6 centimeters thick from above.
There is another type of moving a plant to a new place - this is transshipment (transplanting with soil into a larger pot, with the addition of soil around the roots). Transfer can be performed several times during the growing season and does not interfere with the flower's growth.
Months are considered favorable for transplanting indoor plants:
- from the beginning of March to the end of April - the spring movement of juices to the top of the flowers favors the replacement of the soil;
- from the beginning of September to the end of October - the movement of juices slows down, plant cells are dehydrated, this allows transplanting with less losses and increases the survival rate.
Auspicious days are called due to the fact that the damage to the flowers will be minimal.
How to transplant a plant correctly
It is not enough to choose the time for such work with domestic plants. The following procedure for changing soil and container should be observed:
- selection and preparation of another pot for the plant;
- drainage device (if necessary);
- preparing a flower for transplantation;
- soil preparation.
If the next place for the culture to grow is a new pot, then it must be larger than the previous one. At the bottom of the container, it is necessary to make a hole for excess water to drain off during watering. If the drainage holes are large, a piece of mosquito netting can be placed on the bottom. A stand - a tray under the bottom, is an integral attribute.It is needed so that the flowing water does not damage the cover of the shelf on which the container with the flower will be installed. New items must be washed with soap.
When a used container is used as a new place of residence for a plant, it must be cleaned, washed and dried.
Drainage, despite all the controversy around it, is still needed. The holes do not allow excess water to drain off quickly when watering. Drainage from small pieces of various materials, laid in a small layer on the bottom, will save you from root decay. Even if it reduces the working volume of the soil, it will protect the plants if irrigated incorrectly.
The stages of preparing flowers for a full transplant are as follows:
- preliminary abundant watering one day before work and an hour before excavation;
- extraction of the plant along with the soil, cleaning the roots from the old soil.
The soil mixture is previously loosened with hands, slightly moistened. If the soil is not from the store, then it needs preliminary disinfection and the addition of vitamin B1 (two to three drops per pot). Disinfection is carried out by moderate calcination on a brazier set on fire. As a last resort, spilling the prepared earth with boiling water is suitable. After that, the cooled soil should dry up to the desired condition.
Planting in a new container is performed as follows:
- drainage is placed on the bottom;
- soil is poured onto the drainage in a pyramid;
- a flower is placed on the ground, the roots are straightened;
- new soil is poured around, up to the level of the old mark on the trunk, slightly compacted.
In order for the transplanted flower to begin after transplantation, the room must be warm, the humidity is moderate. It is undesirable to start the planned transplant earlier than the beginning of April. Clear days and planting on the growing moon - these are the favorable companions of the grower in this case. Drafts, direct sunlight on a flower are negative factors that prevent it from taking root.
Optimal timing for flower care
It is not always necessary to change the growing conditions of indoor flowers and plants. Here are some signs that this process is necessary:
- after watering, the soil does not hold moisture and dries quickly;
- the roots became visible through the drainage holes or protruded to the surface;
- the green mass of the flower causes the pot to overturn, or it looks like it takes on an extended shape;
- plant development slowed down or stopped altogether;
- more than one and a half years have passed since the last transplant.
The optimal timing for replacing soil in home indoor flowers, giving good results, is as follows:
- spring - March and May;
- summer - July and August;
- autumn is entirely suitable for this;
- winter - December.
During the fifteen-year period, practical experiments were carried out in this direction. Studies have shown that during these seasonal intervals, changing the soil for flowers is harmless. The shock of the plants is minimal, and they continue to decorate the house and delight the eye with their appearance.
When is it better to replant plants
In which month to replant flowers: June, February? If we talk about the best moment for a transplant, then you should choose the time from the end of February to April inclusive.The awakening of the plant, the growth of new shoots and leaves contribute to this event and ensure a normal vegetation throughout the season.
Transplanting indoor flowers in autumn
The beginning of autumn is always associated with a decrease in ambient temperature. September and October are unwanted months for a transplant. It should be performed only as a last resort. Plants are preparing for winter, and their vital processes are markedly reduced. However, if you have to do this, you need to check with the lunar schedule.
