Florist's lunar calendar for October 2022

October is golden autumn, leafy and wedding.

In October, the last plants that could still remain in the garden or on the balcony (such as aucuba, laurel, ligustrum, boxwood) are brought indoors. At this time, many indoor plants enter a state of winter dormancy. Therefore, they need to be watered much less frequently and not fed with anything until spring. In the middle or end of October, due to weather conditions, when the temperature remains stable at -5-8 C, they begin to cover the roses for the winter with spruce branches. If there are prerequisites for the onset of early severe frosts with a small amount of snow, then you can fill the central part of the rose bush with dry humus and compost, and you need to protect them from moisture, covering them so that air circulation is ensured under the cover, otherwise the roses may dry out.
Helpful advice. How to clean a clay pot from white limescale or stains? - Rub the pot with raw potatoes, and then rinse everything off in water with a stiff brush.

Moon calendar

How the Moon affects indoor plants

The biorhythms of all plants directly depend on the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, leading to the change of day and night, and seasons. Indoor flowers are no exception. The cyclical nature of their life processes is also associated with the passage of the Moon through 12 zodiac signs per lunar month (29-30 days). Lunar energies influence the periods of growth and rest of plant organisms, the direction of movement of their juices, and the ability to accumulate nutrients.

Moon phases

As the Moon moves through its orbit, it illuminates the Earth in different ways. These periodically changing states of illumination are cyclical in nature and are called phases of the moon. A new moon is the position of the Moon when it is located on the same line between the Earth and the Sun. This is the time when our planet's satellite is not visible in the sky. During a full moon, the Moon appears as a full, luminous disk. Its influence on the life of plants is taken as a basis when compiling lunar calendars for indoor plants.

Moon phase	influence on the plant
Waxing Crescent (first, second lunar phase)	There is a movement of juices from the roots to the leaves, flowers, and fruits. The period is characterized by high activity of green organisms and active growth. Nutrients are collected by its above-ground part. It is recommended to sow seeds, abundant watering, replanting crops, rooting cuttings, dividing the bush, and loosening the soil.
Full moon	Vital forces reach their maximum value. The plant organism has absorbed all the beneficial substances available to it. Planting long-germinating seeds is favorable. At this time, thinning, watering, mineral fertilizing, and spraying are well tolerated.
Waning moon (third, fourth lunar phase)	There is a gradual decline in vital activity, the level of cell fluid decreases, and there is an outflow of nutrients to the roots, accumulated during the process of photosynthesis. Rooting and preparation for forcing bulbs and tubers are favorable. Pruning is done to slow down growth. Spraying with drugs against diseases and pests is effective. It is recommended to limit watering.
New moon	All the power is concentrated in the root system, the body needs rest, it is preparing for a new cycle. During this period, it is not recommended to touch the plant. Any manipulation will negatively affect the condition of the flowers. A good day to fight diseases and pests.

Zodiac signs

The moon, making its move across the sky, spends some time in one or another zodiac sign. Astrologers know about the lunar influence on the physiological processes of living organisms and compile lunar calendars for indoor plants. The Earth's satellite is in each of the 12 zodiac signs for 2-3 days, influencing in a certain way the biorhythms of living beings. Zodiac signs are distinguished:

"Fertile." They are named so because crops planted or sown at this time grow quickly and produce high yields. These are: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus (partly) and Libra.
"Barren". On days when the Moon is in these signs, you should not plant crops in floriculture and agriculture, or sow seeds. This is recorded in the lunar calendar for indoor plants. It is noted that seedlings will be “unfriendly” and painful when the Moon is under the influence of Leo, Sagittarius, Aries.
Signs of average “fertility”: Capricorn, Virgo, Gemini, Aquarius.

For centuries, humanity has collected bit by bit information about the germination, development, growth, and fertility of plants. The lunar calendar indicates the position of the Moon in a particular zodiac constellation and its influence on crops grown by humans:

Aries. Characterized by intensive growth of new shoots.
Calf. The harvested crop during this period is stored for a long time without spoiling.
Virgo. There is rapid germination and excellent survival rate of plants during transplantation.
Scales. The pulp of the fruit is filled with juice, the flowers are especially fragrant these days, and the resistance to pests and diseases of the plant world is maximum.
Scorpio guarantees cultivated crops planted during this period resistance to infections and long-term storage of fruits.
Sagittarius promotes the formation of a large number of seeds and a long stem for sprouts planted in its days.
Capricorn is rightfully considered a fertile sign. It gives an excellent harvest, resistance of plant organisms to frost, drought, and disease.
Cancer promotes a bountiful harvest that does not store well. The seeds are of poor germination.
Twins. The yield is not high, but has a long shelf life.
Aquarius, Leo are good for collecting seeds.
Fish. Agricultural crops planted on this day have high yields. Harvesting should not be planned for these days: the storage period is short, the fruits spoil quickly.

How was the lunar calendar 2022 compiled for replanting and caring for indoor flowers?

The phases of the Moon and the impact of each zodiac sign on plants were taken into account. For example, on the Full Moon and New Moon, indoor flowers should not be replanted; it is better to do preparatory work at this time, such as preparing substrates and flower pots for replanting, selecting and purchasing the necessary fertilizers, seeds, petioles, and new flowers. On the Full Moon, it is indicated to loosen the soil in flower pots, as well as in the sign of Taurus and Scorpio. Favorable times for transplanting indoor plants are the signs Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, and we transplant mainly decorative foliage plants to the Waxing Moon, and tuberous and bulbous plants to the Waning Moon. Unfavorable signs for replanting indoor plants are Aries, Leo, Aquarius. In the sign of Gemini, you can replant climbing indoor flowers. Watering and fertilizing flowers is best done in the signs of Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio. The signs Gemini, Scorpio, Aquarius show work related to the prevention of the appearance and destruction of flower pests.

You can look at the moon phases, full moon and new moon days for 2022, as well as information on how they affect plant growth in the gardener's Lunar Calendar. Here we provide only brief information on days, what work should be carried out in a given month.

Unfavorable period

The lunar calendar for flower transplantation (2018) also includes unfavorable and even prohibited days for planting:

January: unfavorable – 3–17 (prohibited – 2, 31);
February: 1–14, 16 (15);
March: 3–17 (2, 31);
April: 1–16 (30);
May: 1–15, 30, 31 (29);
June: 1–13, 29, 30 (28);
July: 1–12, 28–31 (13, 27);
August: 1–10, 27–31 (11, 26);
September: 1–9, 26–30 (25);
October: 1–9, 25–31 (24);
November: 1–7, 24–30 (23);
December: 1–7, 23–31 (22).

If manipulations are carried out on dates when it is undesirable to replant flowers according to the lunar calendar 2018, the green planting may suffer for a long time or may not even take root. The fact is that on unfavorable days, the sap of the plant strongly flows to the roots, which is why the root system becomes too sensitive.

Damage to the roots, which often happens during the transplanting process, can lead to the death of the plant.

Transplanting bulbous and tuberous plants

Let us first recall which flowers belong to this species - tuberous begonia, oxalis, lily, amaryllis, clivia, eucharis, gloxinia, vorsleya, cyclamen, hippeastrum. Such house plants are replanted in Capricorn when the moon is waxing, and in Scorpio when the moon is waning.

At the end of our article we will tell you when planting according to the lunar calendar is necessary:

The roots of the flower no longer fit into the pot and begin to grow through the holes in the bottom.
If the soil in the pot is too hard, or a foul-smelling coating has appeared, then it’s time to look at the calendar and choose the next suitable day for replanting.
Biological parameters are also a reason for transplanting into new soil.
If you just purchased a green friend from a flower shop, you definitely need to replace the substrate, which is often artificial, with soil that is suitable for this crop.
The leaves have turned yellow and the flower is not growing well.

If you are faced with one of these problems, then you definitely need to replant your indoor plant by studying the lunar calendar for 2022 in advance. Be sure to select a pot that is suitable in size for each flower. Don't forget that some plants can be placed in large containers right away, while there are others that need to change their pots as they grow.

Proper care is the key to ensuring that your home plant will delight you with its healthy appearance.

made for the convenience of those who grow ornamental plants and flowers, both indoors and in a flower garden in the country.

Unfavorable and neutral days

What can be done with plants on unfavorable lunar days? It is best to leave them alone, because any manipulation will bring stress to our pets. The days of eclipses, both lunar and solar, are considered especially unfavorable. Transplanting flowers at this time can simply destroy them.

What can you do on neutral days according to the lunar calendar? At this time, you can feed the plants, spray them with pest control products, water them and loosen the soil. The plant may not survive radical changes. However, in emergency cases, you can replant the plant on neutral days - if the flowerpot breaks or the plant is attacked by pests.

Plants always delight us with their blooms and the beauty of their leaves. Proper care is the key to a long life for green beauties. Remember that flower transplantation works best in the warm season of the year: this time is completely favorable for working with soil and tubers.

If you need to replant a flower in late autumn, you must strictly observe the lunar phases and take into account favorable days. In winter, it is not recommended to disturb plants; their life processes are at rest.

If you replant the plant taking into account the changing lunar phases, this will not bring stress to the tubers and branches. Flowers quickly take root in the new pot and do not lose their attractiveness.

If you replant a plant without taking into account the influence of lunar phases, it may get sick and wither. Therefore, always check your action plan with the lunar calendar and the advice of specialist astrologers. Then your flowers will always delight you with lush blooms and a healthy appearance.

One of the important aspects to consider when starting an apartment garden is.

So, depending on the ten-day period of the lunar month, certain properties of plant organisms increase or decrease, which is important to take into account in order for the planting to be as successful and efficient as possible.
