Florists often use the lunar calendar to plant and care for plants. The phases of the moon affect not only global events on Earth, such as ocean tides, but also the growth of any crops. Violet is no exception, and its breeding should be correlated with the influence of the satellite of our planet - how to do it right, we will discuss later in the article.
Lunar calendar for violet transplant for 2019
Lunar cycles for proper plant transplantation are compiled annually. This quivering culture is very responsive to proper care and growth conditions. Here it is necessary to take into account many factors, one of which is the passage of a satellite of the planet through the zodiac constellations.Depending on the zodiac sign through which the moon passes, you can perform the following actions:
- ordinary violets should be planted or transplanted under Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio, and ampelous ones under Sagittarius and Gemini;
- the landing is most favorable during the moon in Capricorn;
- all manipulations with transplanting children are carried out when the Moon is in Virgo or Libra;
- Loosening of the soil is possible when the satellite passes through the constellation Taurus.

When can I plant violets?
In addition to the listed favorable days corresponding to the lunar calendar, flowers can be planted and processed on those days that are not marked as unfavorable.
Important! The neutrality of the day according to the lunar calendar will well affect the plant, and negative factors will not be noted on its growth.
During the growing moon (from the new moon to the full), all the vitality of the culture is aimed at the growth of the upper part. At this time, the formation of roots is suspended, but above-ground shoots accelerate their development. During such a period, it is necessary to transplant the violet - it will take root well, will survive the transplant and will immediately start growing. Even more demanding varieties, such as Saintpaulia or variegated violets, are responsive to cultivation in accordance with the lunar calendar.
The basic rules for planting violets
Planting violets possible leaf or seed material. In the first case, the most popular method is used in the people - a strong leaf is plucked from the lower tier of an adult plant and sprouted to form roots in a container of water. After this, the leaf with the roots is transplanted into its first pot. You will have to take care of the seed, as you need to organize a small greenhouse with soil and drainage enriched with plant additives.
Transplanting plants from a greenhouse or an old pot is done extremely carefully, since the violet is a very delicate plant. Before replanting, it is necessary to water the bush moderately so that it is easier to remove from the soil without harming the roots. After planting in moist soil, you need to slightly press the upper part of the earth with your palm or spatula.
Transplantation can be carried out at any time of the year, if necessary, even in winter. The main condition for this is a warm room in which manipulations will be carried out. When replanting young bushes, part of the earth can be replaced, and in adult violets the entire lump is replaced.
Winter violet care
In winter, it is quite difficult to please this thermophilic plant, which does not tolerate direct sunlight. It is necessary to arrange the pot so that the bush is not cold. For this, the northern and eastern window sills are suitable in a room with good heating (suitable temperature is +20 ... + 25 ° С). If the culture is kept on the western windows, then the afternoon and evening sun should be obscured by curtains or a screen.
Important! Allowed to reduce the temperature to +12 ° C for several hours. Long-term exposure to such conditions will result in shedding of leaves and death of the roots.
In December and January, watering should be reduced to a minimum. When the topsoil completely dries out, you can perform root watering with clean water at room temperature. An interesting method of moistening the soil is wrapping flower pots with a damp cloth. Weak watering through the stand and the lower layer of soil is also possible.Violets need moderate watering, but the rising moon needs to increase the water level
Fertilizing bushes during winter dormancy is optional. You can simply carefully monitor the temperature regime, moisten the soil in time and extend the daylight hours. If the plant with all its appearance shows that it is not comfortable, you can make complex fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Did you know? The aroma of violets is so strong and persistent that the things soaked with them continue to preserve it even after several washes.
Proper care of violets using the lunar calendar will allow the plant to be in favorable conditions most of the time. Due to this, many varieties, including ampelous ones, can bloom all year round, delighting their owners in return for the efforts made to grow.
