Lunar calendar for violets: phases and features
Since ancient times it has been known that the Moon has a serious influence on plants, on the process of their growth, development, as well as susceptibility to external environmental factors. The Earth's biosphere is influenced by the gravitational field of the Moon, so the planet's magnetic field is always changing, which in turn affects both people and plants. Flower growers must take all these factors into account in their activities.

Waxing Crescent
Liquids on Earth are in direct contact with the Moon. During hot flashes, the level of fluid in the tissues increases in the human body, so the person feels active and the emotional level increases. In plants during this period, ascending sap flow occurs. During low tides, the opposite is true.
Separate several main lunar phases, each of which has its own characteristics. In order to grow a beautiful flower, you need to take into account all phases:
- Waxing Crescent
- waning moon
- full moon
- new moon
The lunar calendar for violets involves the study of all phases, each of which has its own characteristics. The period from New Moon to Full Moon is called the waxing Moon.
During this period, all activity and fluid inside the plants is directed upward, from the roots to the stems. This time is characterized by rapid and intense growth of the part of the plants that is above the ground.If you plant a violet at this time, the development and growth of its above-ground part will be rapid and intense.
If you cut off some of the leaves at this time, this will encourage new greenery to grow. It is not recommended to carry out the budding process at this time, since during the waxing moon the roots practically do not react in any way to the damage they cause. It is worth paying close attention to plants that have been transplanted, since root activity is low, and it is important for violets to receive a certain amount of nutrients.
During the waxing moon it is recommended:
- plant new violets
- replant plants from one place to another, but under careful control
- carry out the process of cultivating and loosening the soil
- fertilize the soil with minerals, since violets need constant additional feeding
During this period, all plants need a large amount of water. This period is the best time to remove stepsons, which are the main reason for the slowdown in normal growth and development of the flower.
Aging Moon
The next phase is called the decreasing phase or aging moon. During this period, all activity and liquid that is in the plants is directed from the periphery to the center, from the stems to the roots. The pressure level of the underground part of the violet increases.
By their nature, the roots of a plant such as violet are much thinner than the above-ground part. Therefore, if any damage is caused to the roots of the plant during this period, this can cause serious problems, including the death of the flower. During the period of the waning moon, the development of the aboveground part of the plant slows down, but the underground parts, on the contrary, develop quite actively.
The outer part of the violet at this time passively reacts to any external damage. A violet that will be planted during the waning moon is already programmed for active growth of the root system.
Often such flowers have a small number of leaves and flowers that quickly die. At this time you can replant violets, without fear for their further life activity, since the flower will take root for sure. This period is characterized by less watering of plants, in contrast to the waxing moon. But if you carry out the process of organic feeding, the plant will develop much better in the future, there will be more flowers.
Full moon and new moon
This phase lasts three days. This is the best time to fertilize the soil for violets and loosen it. It is not recommended to prune plants during this period.
This phase, like the previous one, lasts three days. It is during these three periods that it is strictly not recommended not to replant the plant, plant new violets, or loosen and fertilize the soil around the flower.
You can remove dried and damaged leaves one day before the new moon and one day after. On the day of the New Moon itself, it is not recommended to carry out any manipulations with plants, only watering in moderation. This time is given to plants so that they gain vitality and energy.
Any plant lives in these cycles, so it is worth taking into account all the features in order to grow a healthy and beautiful flower. But besides this, we should not forget that violet is a rather whimsical plant, so its vital activity also depends on the environment in which it grows.
Violet is a plant that needs feeding and moderate watering, but on the days of the waxing moon it is necessary to slightly increase the water level, then all this will only benefit the plant. In order for the violet to bloom profusely, it is necessary to add a small amount of phosphorus to the soil.
