To determine the timing of sowing a particular cultural species, plant growers use many different ways. One of the most common can be called the so-called lunar calendar. This article will discuss the main subtleties of the lunar calendar, with a detailed description of the optimal periods for floriculture and gardening.

Features of the lunar calendar for 2019 with moon phases

The lunar calendar is a variation of the conventional calendar, which is based on the timing of the periodicity and seasonality of the phases of the moon. The celestial body has a rather serious effect on the inhabitants of the Earth, approaching and moving away, the moon has a magnetic effect on the planet. This creates a powerful effect on organisms, therefore, the skillful manipulation of the phenomenon makes it possible to accelerate the growth of plants, as well as have an intense effect on the activity of their metabolism. Such a calendar consists of several phases (new moon, growing moon, full moon, waning moon) superimposed on a standard time calculation using a monthly or annual calendar.

Thus, every day in the calendar is assigned to each of the phases of the luminary, or to the transition period between them. The lunar month is often shorter, and approximately 29.5 days. But, despite this, the annual processes almost completely coincide with a simple calendar. This is explained by the special trajectory of the movement of the luminary around the Earth, in which the duration of the day increases to 24 hours and 50 minutes.

New moon

The new moon often has the beginning of the month on the lunar calendar, it lasts for 3 days. In this phase, the growth processes of plants often slow down by half, which negatively affects the growth of the aboveground mass (stem, leaves, fruits, etc.). Therefore , during the new moon period, it is best to abandon any agrotechnical procedures, including soil cultivation, even the slightest damage to the roots in the new moon can lead to fatal consequences.

Important! 24 hours before the new moon and the day after it is best to carry out sanitary cleaning of plants. At this time, the procedure causes minimal damage to both grassy and tree species.

Waxing Crescent

On the growing Moon, the plant biofield is activated by the flow of vitality from the root system to the aerial part, therefore, in this phase, growth of leaves, stems, fruits, etc. is intensified. This time is especially favorable for any manipulations, since the regenerative activity of plant organisms doubles. This phase lasts, often for 14 days, so it is divided into 2 periods of 7 days.

On the growing moon it is recommended:

  • sow and plant fruit and ornamental crops whose main organs are above the ground. These include both green herbs and melons, as well as shrubs, as well as tree species;
  • transplant flower plants, shrubs and young trees;
  • do all kinds of dressings;
  • to plant plants;
  • root the cuttings.

Did you know? The lunar calendar is considered the oldest calendar in the world. According to archaeological finds, it was used in the Late Paleolithic era, about 30 thousand years ago. He represented specially prepared bones of animals, on which a variety of icons were applied, symbolizing the phase of the star.

Full moon

The full moon comes after the growing moon and lasts for 3 days. The phase is different in that it allows you to concentrate all the forces of the plant organism in the aboveground mass. But, despite this, in the full moon there is an active decrease in the survival rate and regenerative ability of plant organisms. Therefore, the most experienced plant growers on the full moon do not transplant, vaccinate, prune and pinch.

Instead, the cottage should be exposed:

  • treatment against all kinds of pests;
  • weeding and hilling;
  • thinning seedlings;
  • mulching;
  • harvesting seeds for the next season.

Important! Planting and sowing of plants is prohibited on the 12th and 26th. Any agricultural procedures with cultural species these days will lead to their oppression, or, in general, may end in death.

Waning moon

In this phase, there is an active accumulation and transport of various nutrients from the ground part to the root zone. Therefore, in most cases, during the waning moon, the development of stems, leaflets and other aboveground organs almost completely stops, however, the growth activity of the root system and other aboveground organs sharply increases. The phase lasts, often over a period of 14.5 days, so it is divided into 2 periods of 7 and 7.5 days.

On a waning moon is best:

  • propagate root crops, bulbs and potatoes;
  • carry out preventive treatment of the plot against insects and weeds;
  • prune tree plants;
  • harvest crops of onions, as well as vegetables and fruits;
  • do top dressing.

Favorable boarding days in December 2019

Since ancient times, the lunar calendar has been used as the basis for calculating the best time for gardening and floriculture. Depending on the type and physiological characteristics of plants, the phases of a growing and waning moon are considered the optimal period for this. With skillful timing, they will help to get a rich harvest, or unique flowers, both annual and perennial species (including bulbous).

  • Favorable days for planting 2019:
  • Pumpkin (including cucumbers, eggplant), cruciferous, tomatoes, physalis, bell pepper - from 1 to 9, from 28 to 31;
  • Legumes (peas, soybeans, etc.), greens, root crops, onions (including ornamental species) - from 16 to 23;
  • Fruit trees and berry plants - from 1 to 9, from 28 to 31;
  • Decorative views - from 1 to 9, from 28 to 31.

Astronomers also distinguish several universal dates during which the planting of any plant is completed not only favorably, but will also allow instant rooting, both of the artificial substrate and of open soil.

First crops

December is one of the most unfavorable months of the year, however, it is during this period that many indoor flowers and other plants can be successfully propagated. But, not every species in such conditions is able to grow safely and give a healthy sprout. Therefore, slow-growing species are used for cultivation, requiring about 1.5-2 months in order to give full shoots, or plants that need at least 180 days for the appearance of flowering buds.

Most often used for the first crops:

Lunar calendar for planting seeds for seedlings in 2019
  • begonia;
  • clove Shabo;
  • eustoma;
  • lavender;
  • verbena;
  • peonies;
  • petunia;
  • Tomatoes
  • cabbage;
  • cucumbers
  • eggplant;
  • celery;
  • potatoes;
  • Bell pepper.

To get high-quality seedlings, as well as sufficiently strong shoots for full development, crops should create the appropriate conditions. The first thing to do is to ensure a stable temperature regime within +20 ... + 25 ° С. Since in winter there is often prolonged cloudiness and a short sunny day, sown flowerpots should be additionally highlighted. To do this, you can use a special lamp or a table lamp. Thus, future seedlings need to provide daylight hours of at least 10 hours a day.

Did you know? The ancient Slavs began the calendar year in the first days of spring. According to their beliefs, this symbolized the awakening of nature and everything around after hibernation, as well as the onset of a new sowing season.

In winter, plants often suffer from low humidity, heating devices often dry out room air, which inevitably leads to a moisture deficit. To avoid this, an open water tank should be installed near the seeded containers. Alternatively, you can use special humidifiers, while the humidity in the plant growing zone should not fall below 60–70%.

In order for the seeds to sprout together, the sown containers must be watered regularly. Drying of the substrate is detrimental to developing shoots, so watering is carried out at least 1-2 times a week. Use only clean and settled water, room temperature. After the first 2 leaves appear on seedlings, the plants are fertilized. To do this, use any complex fertilizers for seedlings or ornamental plants, conduct the procedure regularly, 1-2 times a month.

The lunar calendar makes it possible to successfully select the optimal period for any agricultural technique. Its action is based on the interaction of the magnetic field of the moon with the biofield of organisms, due to which favorable and dangerous periods arise for a particular procedure. That is why, before caring for plants, you need to carefully look at the phase of the celestial body, otherwise the forces spent on seedlings will be a waste of time.
