The florist's unique lunar calendar 2017 determines favorable and unfavorable days for sowing, caring for and harvesting. My Soviets sorted it out and collected all important information in one article!
How does the florist's lunar calendar 2017 work?
It seemed to our ancestors that all earthly processes fall under magical influence Moons. The celestial body was compared to an evil deity, which symbolizes darkness, destruction and disease. The development of astronomy has made some adjustments to the perception of the Moon and made it possible to use its power for good. The gravitational influence of a satellite can regulate not only the ebb and flow of the tides, but also tectonic activity and the functional state of all life on Earth, in particular flora. 
The influence of the Moon and the florist's lunar calendar 2017
The influence of the celestial body on plants is regulated by the phases of the Moon, and the phase of the Moon depends on the degree of illumination of the satellite by the Sun and can accelerate/slow down the growth of flora.
The life of our ancestors was closely connected with the earth, they noted such changes and created the first sowing calendar for flower growers, based on personal observations.
The 2017 florist calendar records the location of the Moon in a specific zodiac sign. The influence of zodiac signs can be divided into 3 categories:
- promoting fertility (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces);
- neutral (Sagittarius, Libra, Taurus, Capricorn);
- negative (Gemini, Leo, Aries, Virgo, Aquarius).
The optimal time for landing is the period of the waxing moon
. The influence of a celestial body activates underground water, accelerates its movement through the earth and delivers it directly to the plant buds. During the waning moon
water with nutrients is less active, feeds only the roots and does not completely fill the flower. During the full moon
the plant receives virtually no nutrition and instantly withers. To choose the right time for planting and protect your harvest, use the florist’s lunar sowing calendar 2017.

To transplant flowers according to the lunar calendar 2017, including indoor ones, it is advisable to choose favorable days.
During various actions with indoor flowers they are very easy to damage. Torn leaves, rupture of roots, fracture of the stem - all this will be a great stress for the plant, which can be minimized by adhering to the tips and recommendations given below.
Florist calendar for 2017
The influence of the night celestial body on the movement of waters, tides, and ebbs has long been no secret. The relationship between the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth is visible. Living beings are subject to monthly influences along with plants; in the latter, sap flow depends on the phase of the moon.
Why do you need a schedule?
On certain days of the Moon's course, the roots have reduced turgor and become less brittle due to their slight dehydration. For this reason, the transplanted plant quickly and painlessly takes root in its new location.
Abundant movement of liquid in the plant from the root to the leaves occurs during the waxing Moon. On the contrary, as the moon wanes, the roots are overflowing with moisture.
If you stick to this calendar and start working on favorable days for replanting indoor plants, it will be easier for you to create a healthy and fragrant garden in your indoor greenhouse.
An exception may be moments when the plant needs to be saved and an urgent transplant is needed:
- the pot broke;
- the stem broke off;
- pests have settled in.
In this case, urgently rescue your green resident outside the schedule.
Even on days favorable for replanting indoor plants, it is not advisable to touch flowering plants. After such manipulation, it may get sick, and you will have to work hard to bring it back in life.
It is very convenient to have a Moon calendar for every day of the month and take care of your garden, following the recommendations. Then your flowers will delight you constantly.
Plant lunar calendar

The amateur gardener's calendar lists all the dates for the year that are favorable for planting or replanting a plant with roots. Inconvenient days for this can be used for beauty care on the windowsill:

February 2017
Each amateur gardener has his own specific rules for caring for indoor flowers:

In February, favorable days are from 1 to 10 and from 27 to 28. Unfavorable days are from 12 to 25. Planting is prohibited on 11 and 26.

Complete ban back to work on the 12th.
April 2017
Any indoor plants require regular replanting, there are several reasons for this:
- the root is growing and there is not enough space for it in the old pot;
- pushes out the soil, making watering difficult;
- salts from hard water accumulate in the ground and slow down the normal nutrition of the flower;
- the soil is depleted and any fertilizing becomes ineffective;
- the earth becomes so compacted that the roots become starved of oxygen.
April days are becoming warmer, daylight hours are increasing, which is favorable for starting work in home garden. Acceptable days are from 1 to 10 and from 26 to 30. Unacceptable from 12 to 25, it is forbidden to practice on April 11.
May 2017
By the end of spring, sap begins to actively circulate in the plants on the windowsills, photosynthesis accelerates, and vigorous growth of young shoots begins.
This time is great for:
- moving pets to a new place of residence;
- trimmings;
- plant rejuvenation.
To reduce the time of settling into a new post after transplantation to a minimum, it is important to use the hints of the lunar calendar. The best time to plant is from May 1 to May 10 and from May 25 to 31. Days from 12 to 24 are not suitable. The taboo is the 11th.
June 2017

August 2017
On the waxing Moon, propagation using cuttings will be very fruitful. During this phase, the leaves and stems of the plant are filled with moisture, and the resulting injuries are easily healed. Plants will take root in their new location faster. Favorable days are from 1 to 6 and from 22 to 31. Unfavorable from 8 to 12, forbidden days from 7 to 21.
September 2017
Any plants tolerate replanting more easily if it occurs in spring or autumn, in warm weather. The main thing is to carefully select the day according to the lunar calendar. This principle will help the growth and reproduction of your pets.
October 2017
It will be difficult for a gardener to create a lunar calendar, because in astrology most factors are taken into account: the zodiac sign at the position of the Moon and the Sun, the month, the lunar day.
Favorable days for planting are from 1 to 4 and from 19 to 31. Inappropriate days are from 6 to 18, prohibited day is the 5th.
November 2017
If your pet’s leaves have been crushed, withered, and haven’t bloomed for a long time, it means he wants fresh soil, a larger pot. If you followed the lunar calendar when replanting, the flower will delight you with longer flowering. Blissful days are from 1 to 3 and from 18 to 30, not quite: from 5 to 17, the forbidden day is November 4.
December 2017
With the onset of cold weather, the metabolic processes of your green resident slow down, and a period of calm begins. Winter transplantation is usually postponed, except for the urgent cases described above. Pleasant days are December 1 and 2 and from 18 to 31. Unpleasant days are from 4 to 17, forbidden day is the 3rd.
If you gave your love and care to a green household member, then he will delight you for many years. Let the advice of the lunar calendar always be at your fingertips.
Zodiac calendar of plants
The moon located in different zodiac signs will have different effects on the development and growth of home flowers. For example, if you are planning to replant tuber or bulbous plants, the period of the waning Moon in the constellation Scorpio, or the growing month in the constellation Capricorn, is more suitable for you.

Caring for indoor flowers in winter.
The table of the lunar calendar given on this page is a thematic selection from the universal , made for the convenience of those who grow ornamental plants and flowers, as in room conditions, and in the flower garden at the dacha.
The month of January is winter, sir.
The time has come to plan the volume of expected spring work in the flower garden, purchasing seeds of interesting flower crops, fertilizers, products that stimulate the growth and development of plants, as well as drugs for pests and diseases.
In room conditions, with the expectation of the coming day, you can begin forcing root vegetables (parsley, beets) and onions, sow seeds of flowering plants and annual flowers with long term development before flowering.
Light-loving plants need additional lighting in January.
Helpful advice. In January, the length of the day increases and, according to statistics, there are quite a few days when the sun shines through. A screen made of reflective film, installed so that the light from the window is reflected back to the plants, can replace additional lighting.
ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is kept by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time *)

The table of the lunar calendar given 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.
February snow smells like spring.
In February, it’s time to sow seeds of flower annuals, such as petunias of various varieties, for seedlings. The sooner you sow them, the sooner they will bloom. The busy time is coming for purchasing seeds, preparing the soil for seedlings and containers for planting them. At the same time, you still need to carefully monitor and care for indoor plants that are in winter depression (possibly hibernation), monitor the soil moisture (waterlogging at this time is no less dangerous than drying out).
About watering plants. In winter, it is necessary to carry out moderate, infrequent watering of indoor plants and flowers, avoiding waterlogging of the soil substrate, since with low plant activity, this will lead to stagnation of water in the lower part of the planting container and rotting of the roots. It is worth resorting more often to the so-called “dry watering” - loosening the surface crust of the soil, which destroys the capillaries that, on the one hand, draw moisture from the soil, and on the other, prevent air from penetrating there.
ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is kept by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time *)

The beginning of the lunar day is the time of moonrise.
Attention: During the winter months, most indoor plants experience a period of dormancy or a significant slowdown in growth. Minimal care is watering, pest control and re-handling if necessary: if the plant was flooded, pests appeared. Loosening the soil and sanitary pruning are also carried out as necessary: if the soil in the pot does not dry out for a long time, the branches have dried out from a draft, etc. Other care methods: fertilizing, grafting, formative and rejuvenating pruning, replanting, dividing, etc. It’s worth postponing until the end of January until truly bright days arrive. The exception is plants that are illuminated with lamps and continue to grow, bloom or bear fruit.

Note: you should not take the gardener’s lunar calendar literally as a guide to action. If in October or January you see recommendations that “you can sow and plant some indoor plants” or “water and feed with organic fertilizers,” then know that only experienced gardeners can follow them and this only applies to plants in certain conditions. For example, fruit bearing indoor trees It is permissible to feed monthly even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours in autumn and winter (with additional lighting by lamps) can also be fed and even replanted. Experienced gardeners can successfully take cuttings and re-root plants in winter, as well as sow seeds or carry out artificial pollination. In the general rules of plant growing, with the onset of autumn, cooling, reduction of daylight hours and lighting intensity, i.e. When plants enter a stage of dormancy or slowdown in development, fertilizing, replanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures are strongly not recommended.
