Lunar calendar florist 2016 - indoor plants and flowers, sowing flowers for seedlings, picking and transplanting indoor plants

The table of the lunar calendar shown on this page is a thematic selection from the universal , made for the convenience of those who grow ornamental plants and flowers, both indoors and in a flower garden in the country.

April picks up water, opens flowers.

April is the month in which we can enjoy the first flowers. Crocuses and daffodils are the main harbingers of spring warmth. In April, previously planted annual flowers dive a second time and feed. After the snow melts, you need to remove the foliage on the site, which they did not have time to remove from the fall, after the land can already be cultivated in clubs and flower beds, to prepare flower crops with a short growing season.

About transplant plants: For transplanting most indoor plants, the most favorable periods are March and April - before the start of their intensive growth and even after the end of the growth season in August - September.

In April 2016, the lunar month is almost a week late compared to the calendar month, so the most favorable days for sowing seedlings of flowers (flower crops) fall on the second decade of the month (on the growing moon).

ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is maintained by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time * )

The grower's lunar calendar was made in this form at the suggestion of one of the active visitors to our site on the forum.

Folk signs about the weather in April:
"If the waters break late in April, then the summer is bad"
"There is no water in March - there is no grass in April."

Based on one rather interesting folk sign, compiled (for Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod).

* To determine the local time of the lunar calendar event in Kaliningrad, you need to subtract -1 hour, in Samara: add +1 hour, in Yekaterinburg and Perm: +2; Novosibirsk: +3, Krasnoyarsk: +4 hours... in Vladivostok: +7, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: +9 hours.

Picking is an important procedure for tomatoes, due to which there is a powerful development of the root system, as well as acceleration of growth and ripening of fruits. Amateur gardeners prefer to plant seeds immediately in large boxes, fearing that diving is a big stress for crops. But there are those who make it mandatory, considering it a guarantee of the future harvest.

In fact, transplanting seedlings into a separate container is done in order to create a more spacious place for seedlings.

Important! If you do not give free space to the tomato, they will begin to bend and wither. Therefore, take a large container and transplant them, this will have a very good effect on the future development of plants.

So in what cases should it be done?

1. If the landing is in a common container and densely sown, and not in different, single cups. Then a dive is necessary in order not to allow the roots to intertwine with each other.

2. It may turn out that you have a lot of seedlings, which means you need to select the strongest seedlings and discard the weak ones.

3. Also, in case of a disease, we remove bad stems so that healthy ones do not become infected.

Many people ask, do I need to pinch the center spine? To be honest, I have never done this and I consider this procedure superfluous, because if this is done, a branched root system will begin to develop. Yes, I agree with this, let it be a plus. But there is also a minus, the earth from above can dry out and then, due to removal, the seedlings can die. And if there was a long root, it would take food from below, because there is always more moisture there.

In my last article, I already wrote how and when to sow seedlings,. He also spoke in detail about. And now, at the request of readers, I would like to share what needs to be done after the tomatoes have risen.

To move on to transplanting, I would like to describe in more detail what to do when sprouts appear.

As soon as the first shoots appeared, you must definitely get the container in which you planted from the bag and expose it to the light. After all, if there is little light, high soil moisture, and high temperature, then all of the above processes will lead to the fact that our seedlings will begin to stretch. In simple terms, we can say this: in a normal plant, the stem cells are horizontal, while in an elongated plant, the cells stand vertically, which leads to thinness and weakening of seedlings.

To prevent this from happening, you need to do the following:

1. Put the container with tomatoes in a bright place. If you plant plants in March, then there will be enough light. But as always happens, the windows may not face the sunny side, or the weather is cloudy for many days, then you need to highlight the seedlings with a fluorescent lamp or a special lighting device. Light day for tomatoes should be 10 - 12 hours.

By the way, so that the seedlings are not bent in one direction, you sometimes need to turn the container in different directions.

2. Maintain the temperature at night 10 - 12°C, and during the day 13 - 15°C for 4 days. On the fifth day, you need to raise it during the day to 23 - 25 °, at night 10 - 15 ° C. This can be done with the help of a window greenhouse, that is, take a film and enclose the window from room temperature, and adjust the degrees using an open window. This is considered the best way.

3. Watering plants during this period should be carried out as the soil dries up, trying not to fall on the leaves of plants. Although they are moisture-loving, they still need to be watered only under the very spine. This can be done carefully with the help of a thin neck at the watering can or a small enema.

Never allow the soil to dry out, but also do not flood the ground, as this leads to strong stem elongation, poor development of the root system and various diseases.

4. As you know, from germination of seedlings to picking, the duration is about 20 days. Even at this age, plants are in great need of phosphorus. When its concentration in the soil is very low, then you need to introduce it yourself. Otherwise, the tomatoes will grow slowly and a reddish tint will appear on the leaves. Fertilizer can be made by using ashes and adding them to the soil.

I hope I have explained everything clearly and in detail, then we move on to the next chapter.

When to dive (replant) tomatoes according to the lunar calendar 2019?

Gardeners - gardeners like to calculate favorable days when it is necessary to transplant a plant. The best time is when the moon is waxing. Then there is a movement of juice from the root to the top to the leaves, the plants take root better and grow in the future. And when it decreases, then it is better to refrain from transplanting, but if it is strongly necessary, then there is nothing wrong with that.

You can not transplant on the new moon and full moon, as well as the day before and after them.

How do you know when a month is waxing or waning? No difficulty, you just need to substitute the wand to the ends of the moon, and if the letter “r” is obtained, then it is growing, and the letter “y”, then decreasing.

So on what days can you transplant, and on which not? I suggest looking at the table.

How and when to dive tomato seedlings

The best time to transplant seedlings is when two true leaves appear. Approximate holding after germination from 10 to 20 days. The main thing is not to confuse, because the first couple of leaves are cotyledonous, only after them do the real ones begin to grow.

Important! This pore should be adhered to, otherwise tightening will cause the roots to intertwine between adjacent seedlings. Also, they should not be transplanted earlier because the roots are still young and may die.

The whole process has its own characteristics, but how to do it correctly and not damage young seedlings?

1. Before transplanting, you need to prepare seedlings. The day before, you need to water the soil in order to easily remove the seedling with a lump of earth without damaging the root system. You can also pour epin, it boosts the immune system and promotes better rooting.

2. It is necessary to find a suitable container, it can be a glass with a volume of 0.5 liters or, as in our case, a small pot.

If you have homemade pots, be sure to make holes in the bottom of the pots to drain excess water.

3. Next, fill the container with soil. We immediately moisten it, and lightly pour wood ash on top in order to nourish the earth with potassium and phosphorus. The soil should be the same as the one you planted in originally.

4. With the help of a planting peg, we make indentations.

5. It is better to take a seedling out of the box with a teaspoon, only with the reverse side. This must be done carefully without damaging the root.

6. As soon as they are planted in pots, the earth needs to be compacted a little and watered.

Now that all the seedlings have been transplanted, let's look at what to do next.

How to care for seedlings after a dive at home?

After transplanting and cutting off the central root, you need to make sure that the tomatoes are ready for the harsh environmental conditions. To do this, you need to properly care for them.

Watering:

Like almost all plants, tomatoes feed from the root, and then water with nutrients rises through the stem cells to the top. It enters all organs and evaporates in the leaves, but the elements themselves remain. If, after planting, we watered once a week, then as we grow, this volume increases, and just before planting in the ground, it is already done almost every day.

Watering should be done when the soil begins to dry out, but it must be done so that the earthen ball with the roots is wet. A strong overflow is also bad, as it makes it difficult for oxygen to enter and the seedlings begin to develop poorly, which leads to diseases. Irrigation water should be 22 - 24°C.

If you have tap water, then it is better to stand for at least one day.

Top dressing:

In order for plants to develop well, they need good nutrition for them. The soil should have enough nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other macro and micro elements. If there are enough of them, then tomatoes in the future will give an excellent result. But if the soil does not contain such nutrition, then you need to feed it with mineral fertilizers. After about 10 - 12 days.

• Water - 10 liters;
• Ammonium nitrate 10 - 15 gr.;
• Superphosphate - 35 gr.;
• Potassium sulphate 10 - 15 gr.

It may seem to you that there is not enough top dressing, then you can do it again, after 10 - 15 days, with the same fertilizers in the same proportions. You can also give food with water from the aquarium (there is a lot of nitrogen) and ash (phosphorus and potassium). It is stirred and, until the ash has settled, it is immediately watered.

Temperature and light for plants:

In order for the seedlings to develop correctly, it is necessary to observe the light and temperature conditions. Otherwise, it will stretch.

To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to monitor the air temperature during the day 21 - 24 °, and at night 14 - 17 °. You can regulate it with the help of vents or taking it out to the balcony, unless of course there is a normal air temperature. The length of the day for plants should be 11 - 12 hours. And more importantly, the windows face south. Sometimes it is cloudy for a long time, then the seedlings must be illuminated with special lamps.

hardening:

As soon as you decide to plant seedlings in a permanent place (on the street or in a greenhouse), it is no longer possible to regulate the temperature. It can jump from 30 to 0 ° C., so it must be prepared for outdoor conditions.

10 - 15 days before landing, it is necessary to reduce the air temperature to 14 - 16 °, and then gradually lower it in the future. And when there are 6 days left, be sure to take out the balcony, the loggia outside. It depends where you live: in a private house or in an apartment. Do this first for 2 - 3 hours, then for half a day and gradually pull out for a whole day.

The most important thing in this business is to ensure that there is no frost.

Due to this, the stem will thicken, the development of the roots will improve, the leaves will acquire a greener hue. So, if you harden the seedlings well, then it will easily endure unpleasant weather conditions and quickly take root.

How to dive tomatoes in a diaper

I came across this video on the internet. I liked the method, because it does not take up much space on the windowsill. And most importantly, the whole process is very fast. I think you will like this method, if so, leave a review in the comments.

That's the end of this informative article. It seems that he described everything clearly: how to care for seedlings, dive them, and much more and interesting things.

Jewelry precision and a confident hand are the key to a properly conducted pick. Even a minor mistake can delay the development of a tomato for 7-15 days. On the one hand, such a period does not inspire concern, but, on the other hand, even a few days of delay will not have the best effect on the harvest.

Picking is carried out in April 2017 at the moment when the first full-fledged leaves appeared on the plant.

From a botanical point of view, this happens within one week from the moment the plant is placed in the ground. At the same time, an important caveat is made regarding the timing. In the open field, the first leaves, usually in pairs, are formed within 8-9 days from the moment of sowing. In the greenhouse, the terms are slightly shorter, which is explained by the special conditions of detention and the specific microclimate.

Once the leaves have appeared, the further procedure is as follows:

1. Before diving tomatoes, you must wait another 48 hours from the moment the first leaves appear.
2. The minimum required root size for a safe operation is at least 15 cm.
3. It is undesirable to carry out the operation if the plant has only 1 small root. In this case, even a professional will not be easy to do everything right.
4. Do not pick when the size of the root exceeded the specified figure (15 cm). In this case, the risk of harming the plant is high.

The last point deserves special attention. Even if the tomatoes are not planted very tightly on the plot, their roots can still grow together. In this case, when picking one plant, you can harm another. If the gardener follows all the recommendations, then he will have a healthy bush and a good harvest.

We choose a favorable day for picking a tomato in April

First you need to correctly determine the variety of tomatoes planted in open ground or in a greenhouse. Depending on whether it is an early or a late species, a date must be chosen.

If we are talking about early varieties, then their picking in a larger container is carried out at the beginning of the month. The optimal period is considered to be from April 2 to April 4.

Late varieties dive on the day following the end of the winter cold.

1. Clarify when the climatic cold ends in April;
2. Make sure that within 2 weeks at least from the end of the frost, they will not recur;
3. If the previous paragraph is temporarily impossible to complete, it is worth temporarily abandoning the procedure;
4. As soon as a favorable weather forecast is received, you can proceed to the operation.

Science will help you choose the right day here, rather than folk signs. The more a person will rely on the data of the meteorological service, the higher the picking efficiency will be.

When can I dive tomatoes in April according to the lunar calendar

Proponents of the lunar calendar should take into account auspicious days to a greater extent in the context of the phases of the moon. It is necessary to act in the literal and figurative sense of the word at the beginning of the month. The best picking days are between 4 and 7 April 2017. At the same time, you should not take the specified time period as the ultimate truth.

From a practical point of view, certain adjustments to the given terms are allowed, depending on the following parameters:

• In the northern regions, according to the lunar calendar, the numbers from April 9 to April 10 are considered the optimal time for picking;
• In temperate climates, this procedure is carried out from 12 to 13 April.

Diving in the southern regions, as already mentioned, is best done from April 4 to April 7. The difference in terms is explained by the rate of heating of the soil. The warmer it is, the more likely it is to do everything right.

Picking tomato seedlings in April 2017: when not to do it

It is logical to assume that in addition to favorable days, there are those when it is better not to perform such manipulations with plants. Such days are for supporters of an exclusively scientific approach and for those who prefer the lunar calendar. In the coming April, such days include the 11th and 26th.

The reasons should be sought in the features of this month, which can quite often surprise:

1. Sharp cold snaps are possible;
2. Cases of the return of snow cover have been recorded;
3. Heavy rains can occur, leading to a strong increase in soil moisture levels.

According to its climatic characteristics, April is one of the most unstable months of the year. Even if there is a favorable forecast from the meteorological service, dives are not carried out on the indicated dates.

Optimal days for picking a tomato in April

Having made a firm decision that we dive tomatoes this month, it is necessary to bring together several factors. As mentioned above, the optimal timing depends on the variety of seedlings. For early tomatoes, the beginning of April would be appropriate, but adjusted for the climate zone.

It can be difficult for beginners to immediately understand all the nuances, but experienced gardeners have developed recommendations that allow you to independently determine the required time period.

We are talking about the average monthly temperature during April. This indicator can always be found on the website of the state meteorological agency.

Based on its analysis, you can easily determine what the correct time period will be:

1. If the indicated indicator does not exceed the mark of 5-7 degrees, then this indicates living in the northern region. This means that it is advisable to carry out a pick from April 9 to 10;
2. In the event that the temperature is in the range from 8 to 10 degrees, you can safely carry out manipulations with seedlings from April 12 to 13;
3. Residents of the southern regions should see on the thermometer at least 14-15 Celsius.

In addition to the temperature factor, attention should be paid to the natural moisture content of the soil. The higher this indicator, the more carefully you can pick. In regions where this figure is too high, it is recommended to dive tomatoes towards the end of the month. In this case, you can risk the future harvest to a lesser extent. The situation is more complicated when there is not enough moisture in the soil. Regular normalized watering, as well as picking at the beginning of the month, will help normalize the situation.

Picking tomatoes in April 2017 (video)

By following the rules for picking tomatoes, the gardener at the end of the season will enjoy a good harvest. The main thing is to successfully choose varieties suitable for a particular soil and carry out appropriate care.
