    Florist's lunar calendar 2016 - flower beds, indoor plants and flowers. Planting and sowing flowers

    May 2016

    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.

    May decorates the forests, summer awaits visitors.

    May gives us openwork lace blossoming apple trees, plums and cherries. In May, we will be pleased with the flowering of such bulbous plants as: crocuses, snowdrops, daffodils, tulips, hazel grouse, and decorative onions. Don't forget that after they finish flowering, the leaves should die off. naturally, it is also advisable to mark the places where the spring bulbs are located, so as not to accidentally disturb them later.

    In May, seedlings of heat-loving flowers are planted in the flower garden, fast-flowering annuals are sown, such as cornflower, gypsophila, godetia, decorative beans, sweet peas, clarkia, calendula (marigold), cosmos, and garden nasturtium.

    Here's another somewhat unusual tip for preventing rose diseases (we haven't tested it, but it's clear that at least the first statement will work). If you bury banana peels at the roots of roses (not deep enough - 1-2 cm), it will serve as a good fertilizer and protect the roses from some diseases.

    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 *)

    Folk signs about the weather in May:
    There are two cold periods in May: when the bird cherry blossoms and when the oak blossoms.
    If there is a lot of rain in May, then there is little in September.
    After wet May there is dry June.
    May is cold - a grain-bearing year.


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

    * To determine the local time of a 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.

    Frost protection

    There is a spring Great chance recurrent frosts that can destroy the crop. You should prepare for them with smoke heaps or bombs, which, if necessary, are used to create smoke.


    To protect plants from cold weather, it is allowed to use plastic film, paper, lutrasil and other materials.

    What can you plant in May?

    • Vegetable crops must be planted in early May.
    • By the middle of the month, put peppers and eggplants in a greenhouse made of film.
    • We end May with sowing pumpkin crops and planting seedlings of all heat-loving plants.
    • We should not forget about the cabbage varieties that we plant at the end of the month.
    • We also transfer the tomatoes to the beds, installing a temporary shelter made of polyethylene material.

    Garden work in May


    • At the beginning of the third month of spring, it is not prohibited to plant trees and seedlings, as well as shrubs.
    • As a rule, if the weather has not let us down in March, the garden has been pruned in full. But pest control would be quite appropriate. After all, at this time fleas and flies appear on the plants. To protect plants from them, spraying with pyrethrum, tobacco dust or ash is carried out.
    • We don't leave you without our attention. The grass has grown, regular mowing should begin. On these days, it is not prohibited to sow grass and even plant new ones.

    Plant care

    Watering and fertilizing plants

    If the potatoes have time to sprout, cover the tops of the sprouts with soil.

    Cabbage beds should be watered in May, and abundantly.

    In this case, it is allowed to apply mineral and organic fertilizer compounds. K: compost, humus, bird droppings, peat, ash.

    Less organic fertilizer is better than more. If there is an excess of organic matter, young plants become infected with fungus.

    The rate of mineral fertilizers in spring:

    • phosphorus (superphosphate) - 250 g/m²
    • potash (or wood ash) - 200 g/m²
    • nitrogen (nitrate) - 300 g/m²

    nitrogen fertilizers are applied if organic matter is not added

    • Watering and precipitation should be accompanied by loosening the soil. This will allow the sprouts to grow faster upper layer land. Dense seedlings need to be thinned out. We don’t leave garlic without moisture either.
    • With the establishment of stable warm weather, the soil near the berry bushes must be mulched.
    • It is necessary to collect the raspberry beetle from the raspberry bushes before it lays eggs.
    • Grapes, strawberries and other crops will already begin the growing season. It is necessary to organize control over them, watering, loosening the soil and weeding from weeds. It is especially important, if May does not have a lot of precipitation, to water all the berry plants well.
    • Perennials that have begun to form young shoots must be protected from possible cold winds by tying them up.
    • Plants that should become very thick during growth must be trimmed, leaving a minimum number of sprouts.
    • By the end of May, lilacs fade, so it is necessary to promptly remove wilted inflorescences.
    • Plants grown in containers are allowed to be moved to terraces in the third decade of May. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the abundance of sunlight and organize temporary protection for them.

    And this is not all the work that should be done in the garden in May. So try your best free time, devote all weekends in May to your garden and vegetable garden, do not forget to use what you have accumulated over the centuries. Please note that if the spring was protracted, you will have to work hard to approach summer season worthy. In order to make your work easier and make the work done more successful, you should look into a gardener.

    In spring, as a rule, gardeners are engaged in planting and replanting indoor flowers and plants. It is spring that is considered the most suitable for such matters. favorable time of the year. During this period, plants gain strength and grow rapidly, gaining volume before our eyes and creating beauty with their blooming green appearance!

    Some people try to transplant everything they need right in early spring, in April, while others hesitate and get to work in May. In order for the transplant to be successful, the plants quickly took root, settled in and began to develop a healthy root system, while at the same time greening up your home; replanting should be done exclusively at a time favorable for such matters. Today we will find out what astrologers predicted for May 2016 and which dates are considered the best in this regard.

    Lunar calendar for replanting indoor plants for May 2016

    No matter what the supporters of early April transplants say, you won’t find a better month than May for replanting indoor flowers! However, even during this period there are days that it is advisable to avoid and not touch your house plants under any circumstances!

    So, the warm days of May are approaching, but in no case are you in a hurry to replant indoor plants. It is strictly forbidden to do this at the beginning of the month and the first favorable dates for this start only on the 10th. It will be possible to repeat the work only on May 15, the middle of the month.

    In the second ten days, there will also be few dates that have a positive effect on transplanting, planting and actually planting plants, these are the 17th and 18th. May will no longer be so generous and will allow lovers to create “green” beauty in their homes with their own hands only on May 25th!

    Of course you can in lunar calendar find days that will not affect the transfer in any way. In principle, they do not bring good or bad; in general, the following dates will be neutral: May 2-5, 9, 24, 26, 29-31. For gardeners, such a transplant becomes more of a “spare” rather than a planned one, and indoor flowers can be replanted in case you simply didn’t have time on favorable days!

    However, even if you are going to replant the plant on a favorable day, you need to make sure that it really needs replanting. It is important not to disturb indoor flowers that have already bloomed, even in May. In this case, you will have to wait until spring and determine the “household members” for a new place of residence only in the fall!

    How does the Moon affect flowers?

    Indoor plants are very sensitive to the phases of the moon, as is any living organism. In one period they notice rapid, abundant flowering, in another - sap flows become more active, which provokes rapid growth of flowers, and less malaise during transplantation at such a moment, the sap tends from bottom to top and saturates every part of its large organism with nutrients to the maximum. It is these periods that are considered the most favorable for replanting indoor flowers!

    There are also lunar phases when the juice arrives, on the contrary, to the roots. It is precisely this time that is considered unfavorable, when it is stipulated that plants should never be replanted!

    Houseplants carry strong energy: there are vampire flowers, and there are donor flowers. We wrote about which indoor plants belong to them in the article. And the lunar calendar will help in caring for every picky pet.

    WANING MOON

    Today, root crops (with the exception of potatoes) can be planted if weather conditions permit. Some gardeners are guided by folk signs when exactly a particular crop should be planted. For example, the time of planting beets is determined by the appearance of catkins on maple trees; carrots can be planted when aspen trees have time to bloom.

    Before planting seedlings in the ground, plants should be hardened off fresh air, leaving pots of seedlings outdoors during the day and bringing them indoors again at night.

    Houseplants: Some plants require pinching to encourage flowering and to form attractive clumps. For example, fuchsia, pelargonium, and jasmine should be pinched.

    Today you can finish pruning fruit trees if you did not have time to do this last month. This is also a good day to fertilize for fruit development. You can start processing grape vines.

    Today you can sow root crops in open ground: beets, radishes, carrots, if weather conditions permit.

    You can collect a mushroom - birch chaga. This mushroom grows on birch trees and is an excellent remedy to strengthen the immune system. He'll let you fight colds in the cold season.

    NEW MOON at 22:30

    Today is an unfavorable day for planting and transplanting, as the plants have little vigor. In order not to waste time, you can work on the soils.

    Moon without course until 19:35

    If possible, do not plant anything before 7:35 pm today. You can still loosen the soil, destroy weeds, and mulch plants with fresh humus or compost. Such mulch will also act as a fertilizer, as it is rich in nutrients.

    If the ground in your area has already thawed, but the plants have not yet had time to germinate, you can plant clematis in open ground and replant.

    If the threat of frost is behind you, you can plant heat-loving annuals: begonias, petunias, pelargoniums, nasturtiums, verbena, fuchsias and other flowers. Plants are planted in tubs and baskets that can be hung in the garden or on the balcony.

    Moon without course until 20:24

    Today, the Moon will be without a course for almost the entire day, so it is better not to plant anything, and it is also not recommended to water the plants. This day is a holiday, so for many it will be associated with cooking festive table and have a feast, but it’s better to postpone gardening until a more opportune time.

    In May, you should mow your lawn quite often. If you cut it today, the grass will grow very quickly and will be lush and healthy. Today you can plant legumes in the ground. Today it is unfavorable to prune fruit trees and shrubs.

    You can sow cauliflower seedlings and early varieties of white cabbage.

    Today is also a good day to collect leaves of medicinal plants. It is good to collect the leaves during the period of budding and flowering of plants. To avoid harming the flowers, you should collect the lower leaves. You can collect leaves of lingonberry, bearberry, nettle, sorrel, etc.

    Indoor plants: Watering day. Give your plants a good shower today to wash off all the dust from the leaves. This will refresh your plants and act as a preventative measure against some pests.

    Today is also a good day to plant various greens: lettuce, parsley, dill, sorrel, spinach, etc. This is also a great day, like yesterday, for mowing the lawn. It is best to plan the start of all important work in the morning: before 10:30, before the Moon has time to become “idle”.

    If the buds of birch, poplar or pine have already swelled, but have not yet begun to grow, it’s time to collect them. It is better to cut off the buds of a pine tree with a sharp knife, but you can tear off the buds of other plants with your hands. The kidneys should be dried when not very high temperatures(10-15 degrees Celsius) so that they do not bloom.

    Indoor plants: Watering day. Still a good day to water. If you are going on vacation and have no one to water the plants, you can use special means for watering.

    Today you can plant various vegetables if the frost season has already passed. This is also a great time to plant garden strawberries. Plants planted this year will yield only next year. On this day it is also a good idea to plant March seedlings of cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes in greenhouses. You can plant Brussels sprouts, white cabbage, and leeks in the soil under shelters. These vegetables are quite cold-resistant.

    On this day, you can plant shrubs and trees from containers into the ground. Seedlings that have an open root system should be planted earlier; during this period it is too late for such plantings.
