How the phases of the moon affect plants

Earth’s closest neighbor, the Moon, has a huge impact on our planet. Its approach and removal causes the ebb and flow of the oceans and seas, and the change of phases affects all living things. A full lunar cycle includes approximately 29 and a half days. During this time, the satellite planet makes a complete revolution around the Earth and goes through four phases.

• New moon. The Moon is closest to the Sun, turned to the Earth by the «night» side. Her disk is not visible. Plants should not be touched during this time..
• growing phase. The satellite is moving away from the Sun. The disc becomes visible. At first, only part of it is visible, gradually its size increases. At this time, sap flow in plants is directed from the root system to the stem. It is recommended to transplant, plant, feed and propagate crops.
• Full moon. The satellite is located between the Earth and the Sun. Its disc does not cover anything and it is very visible. During this period, manipulations with any crops are undesirable, but pest control will give especially good results..
• Waning phase. The Moon begins to move towards the Sun, its visible disk gradually decreases. Sap flow is directed from the top to the root system. It is recommended to engage in pinching, pruning, crown formation, planting bulbous and tuber crops.

Many flower growers follow these recommendations when choosing the day when it is better to transplant indoor flowers or carry out other procedures. But you need to understand that this information is advisory, that is, you need to use it taking into account real conditions. So, if favorable days for transplantation are indicated on the calendar, but the culture is in the dormant phase, it still cannot be transplanted.

The influence of the zodiac cycle on plants

The zodiacal constellations also influence living organisms. Depending on the trigon or the nature of the energy of a particular zodiac sign, it affects the growth and development of a plant organism in different ways. This is worth considering when building your schedule for caring for indoor crops. The table contains the main characteristics of the influence of the zodiac constellations on plants.

Astrologers consider Leo, Aquarius and Aries to be infertile, and therefore undesirable for planting and transplanting signs. You should not carry out any planting work during this period, but weeding and pest control will give a particularly good result.

Water signs and Taurus are the best option for planting flowering crops. Curly and tall plants are best planted under the influence of Sagittarius, Virgo or Gemini. For bulbs and tubers, it is worth choosing a landing time in the waning lunar phase in Taurus, Capricorn, Libra, or any of the water signs.
