When, according to the lunar calendar, you can dive pepper
A pick is a transplant of seedlings. This procedure strengthens the root system and prevents rotting. Favorable days for picking peppers are determined not only by the age of the seedlings, but also by the lunar calendar.
Pepper picking according to the lunar calendar
Pepper pick
Planting seedlings was tied to a specific position of the moon.
It is better to dive the pepper before planting it in the open ground - both procedures are planned according to the position of the moon.
Pepper transplanting takes place gradually: first, the soil is prepared, then a container for seedlings is selected and only then it is transplanted. The whole process can take several days, so the picking date is calculated in advance.
In order to dive the seedlings correctly, they are cleaned - trimming excess roots is also carried out according to the calendar.
Lunar calendar for picking
The approximate picking time is determined by the growth of the seedlings: when the first leaves appear, it is impossible to leave the seedlings in a common container so as not to lose the crop.
Pepper picking according to the lunar calendar depends on the phases of the moon (some days are favorable for transplanting garden crops, while others are dangerous):
- New moon;
- Waxing Crescent;
- Full moon;
- waning moon.
The lunar calendar is compiled for each month (it coincides with the regular calendar in terms of the number of days). If it takes several days for picking, the seedlings are transplanted after a certain number of days: you cannot plant seedlings every day.
New moon
The New Moon period consists of 3 days - they are not suitable for treatments with plants. Seedlings feed on water, which on New Moon is collected only in the rhizome. While all the life-giving moisture in the pepper accumulates in the roots, any work is suspended - no watering or loosening of the soil is carried out.
If there is no other day to dive, the seedlings will grow for too long (the seedlings will ache and wither).
Not the most favorable days before and after the New Moon: planting will take longer, and the transplanted rhizome is unable to resist fungal diseases.
Waxing Crescent
The days of the growing moon are the most favorable for planting any crops. During this time, the plants gain moisture and energy for growth. People say that at this time all moisture goes from the roots to the stem - it is gaining strength for rapid growth. Transplanted or only planted crops grow actively.
These days, even damaged roots are quickly restored, the seedlings recover more easily.
On the growing moon, can be planted in open ground
It is good during this period to fertilize that part of the seedlings, which in cramped conditions grew weaker than the rest of the seedlings. On the growing moon, it is good to plan the planting of seedlings in open ground - when the dive is carried out directly into the fertilized soil in the garden, and not into a new container.
Full moon
The full moon lasts 3 days - they are suitable for picking and fertilizing seedlings and for treating diseased roots. From the stems, the nutrients are transferred to the leaves, and even damaged processes do not affect the growth of the stem.
The full moon is a good time to trim the roots if the seedlings are weak.
For the dive, clean water and soil are used, harvested during the growing moon. If you need a transplant in open ground, the Full Moon is not suitable - at this time it is better to process the roots, but not immerse them in a permanent place. On the days of the Full Moon, it is good to transplant culture in a greenhouse (from one container to another) - other types of work are suspended.
Waning moon
According to the lunar calendar, pepper cannot be dived during the waning of the moon. All processes in nature during this period are suspended.
Nutrition of seedlings is ineffective. The seedlings are poorly treated 2 weeks before the New Moon. Immediately after the Full Moon, life-giving juices leave the stem and into the rhizome. If replanting is planned, all seedlings will suffer, affecting the fall harvest.
Closer to New Moon, if there is no other possibility, the seedlings are carefully transplanted. This is a neutral period for seedlings diving.
Unfavorable days
Diving pepper according to the lunar calendar is effective on days when the Moon is in Taurus or Scorpio.
You cannot dive seedlings:
- In the constellation Pisces. Such a sign usually helps plants grow faster, but is not suitable for picking;
- In the sign of Aries or Virgo;
- In the sign of Gemini.
Unfavorable unions last for several days, which will not affect the quality of the planting material.
Crops fall in February, and by mid-March, the first gatherings appear. This is the right time for picking greenhouse crops: the day before the procedure, the seedlings are watered - it is better to fertilize it under the growing moon.
Conclusion
Pepper seedlings are one of the most popular garden crops. Until the moment of planting, the seedlings dive - they are transplanted from a common container to accelerate the growth of shoots. To schedule the time of the procedure, you need to check the lunar calendar.
The day when the moon is growing is suitable for a dive. On New Moon and Full Moon, not all planting work in the greenhouse is carried out.
