On the growing moon, all the nutrients and plant juices rush up - from the roots to the crown. During this period, leaves, flowers, fruits develop well. Serious work with the crown on the growing moon leads to a weakening of the plant. You can not do pruning, wounds do not heal for a long time, they can rot. On the growing moon, it is good to carry out top dressing, including foliar, plant, replant, and also divide overgrown specimens. This time is most successful for grafting, transshipment, grafting, sowing seeds. During this period, it is recommended to plant green crops.
IN I quarter (phase) growing moon, - planting annuals that give an above-ground crop in the form of leafy greens, all those plants in which parts that do not contain seeds are consumed for food: cabbage, parsley, lettuce, celery, asparagus, etc. You should also plant melons, cucumbers. Flowers are also best planted on a growing moon, then they are more fragrant and give a lot of seeds.
It is recommended to apply mineral fertilizers.
In II quarter
(phase) growing moon - annuals are planted, yielding a crop in the form of fleshy fruits with seeds inside: zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, as well as beans and peas, all creeping, creeping crops. Before the full moon, you should plant trees (if you need to transplant old trees, it is best to do this before the full moon), replant large compact plants.
The crown is saturated with moisture and nutrients, and the roots and root system feel a lack of energy and a weakening of biopotential. It is not recommended to plant and transplant plants, especially perennials, because during this period the survival rate and viability of the root system are reduced, immunity is lowered. On the full moon, you can not cut and pinch plants. But on the other hand, it is good to thin out seedlings, carry out weeding, collect seeds and root crops for seeds.
This is the best time for processing berries and fruits, because they are saturated with useful elements and vitamins to the maximum extent. During the full moon, the above-ground parts of plants develop intensively.
On the waning moon
, there is a reverse process - the juices flow from top to bottom. During this period, the underground part of the plants develops well. Therefore, any damage to the roots can be detrimental to plants. But with the aerial part (branches, leaves, flowers) you can work without fear. It is good to carry out pruning, pinching, forming a crown. Planting bulbous and tuberous plants will be successful. On the waning moon, plants with a weakened root system can be transplanted, this renews and strengthens it, stimulates the active growth of roots. During this period, it is recommended to plant root crops.
IN 3rd quarter
(phase) waning moon - biennials and perennials are planted, as well as those annuals that produce tubers and root crops: swede, carrots, rhubarb, radishes, turnips, beets, black radishes, asparagus and winter wheat. Potatoes for food are best planted a few days after the full moon. All autumn and winter plantings, as well as planting trees, shrubs, grapes, are best done in this quarter - the root system is developing well.
It is recommended to trim trees and shrubs. With a waning moon, the vital activity of the root system is activated, it needs more soluble nutrients - watering is required.
IN IV quarter
(phase) waning moon - a favorable time for planting plants and laying vegetables for storage and unfavorable - for the division of roots and bulbs and their reproduction. Seeds planted on the waning moon are programmed for a more active development of the underground part - roots, root crops, tubers. It is good at this time to harvest vegetables that are growing long time(they will last longer).
During this period, all biological processes in the aerial part are inhibited. The period is unfavorable for contact with plants, especially if the new moon coincides with a solar eclipse. It is better not to interfere with the life of plants a day or two before the new moon and the same amount after. On the days of the new moon, it is recommended to engage in weeding, destruction of weeds, and removal of dried branches of fruit trees.
Our planet Earth is filled with beautiful plants that not only nourish us, but also delight our eyes, bring aesthetic pleasure, and peace of mind. Plants, as part of the world around us, are very sensitive to external manifestations, not only natural, but also to how a person treats them. It is important to take into account everything when interacting with them - the seasons, the weather, the position of the Moon and the signs of the zodiac, what force is manifested in nature, rising or falling, and even more importantly, with what thoughts we interact with them. The love given to the plant will return to you with double strength, they will thank you for your care with their fruits and the beauty of flowering. Keep this in mind and then Lunar advice will have additional strength and your harvest will be the best, and the flowers the most beautiful. Good luck))).
PHASES OF THE MOON AND THEIR EFFECT ON PLANT GROWTH

Any intervention in the life of plants should be careful not to cut or transplant them. Favorable planting of flowering plants, "tops" (eggplants, beans, greens, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, strawberries, pumpkins, corn, sunflowers, etc.), as well as lawn and medicinal herbs, that is, plants that grow with the moon upwards and produce fruits and other edible parts above the soil surface.
As the full moon approaches, the most active phase of plant life begins.
FULL MOON
The full moon is the time when the moon, filled to the brim with its power, transfers it to plants, this is the most active phase of their life, so it is advisable not to interfere in their growth, they can do everything themselves. Also, do not cut and transplant. The nutritional value of fruits and berries harvested at this time will be the highest. Therefore, harvest with joy and let it bring you a lot of pleasure.;)

Now the most favorable will be the assistance provided to them, you can do prevention, this is the most favorable time for transplants, pruning, vaccinations, fruit picking and other work. You can plant flowering, and decorative foliage plants. The waning of the moon is favorable for sowing and planting plants that produce fruits and other edible parts under the soil surface, the so-called "roots" (potatoes, carrots, radishes, beets, onions, Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, etc.), as well as most fruit trees and shrubs.
Closer to the new moon, it is good to weed the beds, destroy pests.
NEW MOON
During this period, when the Moon has not yet begun to collect juices, it is not advisable to sow seeds, it will be difficult for them to germinate upwards. In addition, extra care should be taken when working with cutting and injuring garden tools.
On the days of eclipses, it is better to refrain from any work with plants.

General rules for working on the moon
The general principle of planting, depending on the type of plant and the phase of the moon.
- If the plant develops and produces a crop above the ground, then it should be planted with the growing moon.
- Vegetables and root crops that develop underground are planted, respectively, on the waning moon.
If we simplify and generalize as much as possible the influence of the Moon on the life processes taking place on Earth, we can distinguish two main defining phases - the waxing and waning Moon.
During the growth of the moon, there is an accumulation of vital forces and their careful expenditure, rest of organisms, accumulation of forces, a kind of "breath" of life. The waning of the moon is an “exhalation”, the maximum expenditure of what has been accumulated, liberation from all that is superfluous.
- roses it is better to plant in the period from new moon to full moon, when the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.
- These signs are good for hyacinths but only between the full moon and the new moon.
- Gladiolus, peonies, daffodils plant between new moon and full moon under the sign of Cancer.
- chrysanthemums plant exactly on the new moon when the moon is in Libra or Virgo.
- Sunflower, including decorative, plant from full moon to new moon under the signs of Libra, Gemini, Leo and Virgo.
- Root crops and everything that ripens underground, it is best to plant between two weeks before the full moon and three days before the new moon. Choose days when the Moon is in the sign of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces.
- Vegetables ripening above the ground, all trees and shrubs they prefer the same signs as root vegetables, but from two days before the new moon to three days before the full moon.
Works on the signs of the moon
Aries
The day when the Moon is in the sign of Aries is considered the "day of the fetus." The Moon itself is rising these days (not to be confused with the growing one, this is not the same thing).
On such a day, it is best to sow and plant only those crops that grow quickly and are immediately eaten, for example, lettuce, spinach, beans, tomatoes. If at the same time the Moon is also waning, then it is good to collect fruits and root crops. Plowing, spraying, weeding are fruitful these days.
Very good to instill fruit trees, only you need to do this with the growing moon. You can plant and sow fruit crops. Aries is favorable for planting sugar beets and bush beans. They love this sign and cereals - cultivate them with the growing moon.
If the moon is waning, fertilize crops, vegetables, and fruit trees. This is best done during the full moon, from April to September. Remove dried branches from fruit trees and bushes in the days of Aries, and also during the waning moon.
Taurus
This sign belongs to the "days of the root" and is favorable for planting crops intended for storage. Good for planting root crops (especially potatoes), bulbous and legume plants, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, turnips. In this sign, the Moon has a good effect on all herbs and greens. Plant trees and shrubs, especially honeysuckle and wild rose, hedges, especially with the growing moon. Whatever is planted in the days of Taurus will grow slowly but surely and will come out very hardy. Start making your compost heap when the moon begins to wan (between May and October). Successful on such days will be the fight against pests living in the earth.
What to do on bad days?
If it is undesirable to plant in an unproductive sign, then it is most easy to deal with weeds at this time. Their viability is reduced. The same applies to pest control: with the Moon in a barren sign, chemicals will be most effective against weakened "villains".
Twins
This sign is unfavorable for planting or transplanting plants, except for strawberries, strawberries, climbing crops, roses and chrysanthemums - after all, such a day is called "flower day".
Therefore, plant and sow flowers, and also fertilize them occasionally during these days. At this time, it is good to cultivate plants, plant forests and protective shrubs, and collect fruits and root crops.
The sign of Gemini is very fond of plants with a mustache.
Collect flowers, leaves and seeds of medicinal plants when the moon is waxing under the sign of Gemini, and the roots - when it is waning. It is good to deal with pests on the days of Gemini, as this is an unproductive sign.
Cancer
The days under the sign of Cancer are “leaf days”, so it is good to plant and sow leafy vegetables. Gourds will grow well - pumpkin, watermelon, melons. This is one of the most productive signs. Planting of undersized plants - root crops, sugar beet, radish, tomato - is especially successful. Onions, carrots, roses, potatoes, hyacinths, pansies will go well. If you harvest - use it immediately, it will be stored poorly. But the wines are good.
Successful under the sign of Cancer will be the fight against ground pests. You can mow lawns (especially with the growing moon), water and fertilize indoor flowers.
Favorable for watering, grafting, planting and transplanting. But cutting dry branches on such days is not worth it, especially in spring, with the growing moon. The most dangerous day in this regard is the full moon under the sign of Cancer.
a lion
The days of Leo are the "days of fruition" and the Moon is ascending. This sign is unfavorable for landings. However, lawns, trees and shrubs can be planted.
It is better to perform the opposite actions - cut branches from fruit trees and bushes, weed, cut down trees, collect fruits and root crops, pay attention to cereals during the growing moon.
Do not use artificial fertilizers on such days.
Can be planted under the sign of Leo vegetable crops, resistant to drought, plant fruit trees (in spring, on the growing moon).
Be careful on such days with sharp tools - a pickaxe, a hoe, a knife, an ax, a shovel - injuries are possible.
Virgo
These are "root days". The usefulness of this sign for the garden will be discussed later, but for now, if you advise at all, today you can do any work. This sign favors ornamental plants: asters, crocuses, daffodils, dahlias, gladioli, irises, peonies will be especially good. Virgo "likes" rose hips and honeysuckle. Those ornamental plants are especially successful, from which fruits and berries are not expected - only beautiful flowers.
But in this sign it is good to plow, cultivate, destroy weeds, hill and spray. You can apply any fertilizer and fight pests that live in the ground.
Works with natural fertilizers themselves are also favorable - lay compost, take out manure. But this sign does not favor conservation.
scales
These are “flower days”, which are distinguished by their neutrality. Nothing much to mess up or do in at its best it will not work now.
If the Moon is decreasing at the same time, the sign is suitable for tuberous and leguminous crops. The flowers are especially beautiful and fragrant.
The sign forms a great softness of the fruit, gives a lot of seeds. With the growing Moon, the sign of Libra is favorable for planting trees and shrubs.
Of the flowers, it is especially favorable for daffodils, dahlias, gladioli and sunflowers. It will benefit any flowers and healing herbs - sow them and sometimes fertilize under the sign of Libra.
Scorpion
This is the second most productive sign of the "leaf days". On such a day, spicy plants, all kinds of medicinal herbs, leafy vegetables work well.
Plant onion sets, leeks, radish and all melons - watermelons, melons, pumpkins. Tomatoes, flowers also love this sign. But it’s not worth digging up potatoes on this day, they will quickly deteriorate.
It is not necessary under the sign of Scorpio to cut the branches of trees and shrubs (especially with the growing moon in the spring), to cut down trees.
If the Moon is also decreasing at the same time - canned, make homemade preparations - it will be delicious.
Successful will be the fight against snails. Mow lawns, water and fertilize flowers.
Sagittarius
In fact, it is considered a barren sign, although it brings "days of fruit."
However, you can sow onions, garlic and herbs, and with a waning moon it is suitable for planting potatoes and root crops. Don't be afraid to plant pepper and radish seedlings as well.
Cultivated plants under this sign do not cultivate, you can take up the land - plow, loosen.
With the waning moon, you can collect fruits and root crops.
The sign of Sagittarius is transitional between the rising and falling moon. Especially well on such a day grows what stretches up or curls (beans, grapes, hops).
It is better not to process plants with sharp tools, but you can cut dry branches - in the spring with the growing moon. Plant corn, cereals, fertilize them. Successful will be the fight against pests living above the ground.
Capricorn
These are "root days". With the waning Moon, Capricorn favors the planting of onions and winter sowing of vegetables, as well as weeding. In general, you can plant potatoes and root crops, legumes, cabbage, gooseberries, currants, sow radishes.
Like the sign of Taurus, it gives plants the qualities necessary for storage. And the flowers will also be hardier.
Fight underground pests under the sign of Capricorn, fertilize weak flowers, preserve and store vegetables, especially root crops.
Good days for laying a compost heap during the waning moon, thinning plants, uprooting trees.
Aquarius
This is an infertile sign that brings "flower days", and nothing can be planted on such a day. Seedlings will not give roots, the seeds will germinate in a minimal amount. Do only the best necessary work. If you don’t want to rest, do cultivation, pest control - they are especially weak and passive on such a day. Weeding the beds and destroying weeds will also give good results.
Even if you do not completely cut the weed on the day of Aquarius, it is unlikely to take root, even if it was sprinkled with earth. Loosen the soil, sometimes fertilize the flowers. You can also collect flowers, leaves and seeds of medicinal herbs if the moon is growing, and if it is decreasing, collect root crops.
Fishes
This is a productive sign, "leaf days". As well as under the sign of Cancer, leafy vegetables and berries work well, especially raspberries and strawberries. On such a day, it is good to sow lettuce, parsley, spinach, cucumbers, radishes, pumpkin. When the moon is waning, plant potatoes.
It is better not to harvest the harvest - the safety of the harvested will be low, vegetables and fruits acquire an unpleasant odor and quickly deteriorate - try to eat them as soon as possible. But this sign gives abundance to flowers. Water and fertilize them under the sign of Pisces.
However, it is better not to prune fruit trees on such days, especially with the growing moon in the spring.
Pisces is good for making wine, especially when the moon is waning, closer to the new moon.
Many people have tried to plant the seeds or seeds of those fruits or berries that they bought in the store. And what a joy when, after some time, a sprout sprouts from this seed! After that, some people begin to get carried away too much and throw into the ground all the seeds that come to hand. Of course, it is much more interesting to grow something edible yourself than to buy a fruit or a cutting in a store.
Level - beginner, fruit - citrus.
Everyone's favorite fragrant various citruses can always be bought at the nearest store or market. And these fruits are well suited for the first experiments in growing exotic plants from the stone. For sowing, fresh seeds are needed. Every day the risk that they will not sprout is constantly growing. Therefore, you need to either immediately clamp it, or make sure that they are wet.
Recommendations for planting: first, the seeds are washed, and then they need to be planted in a special soil for citrus fruits, or you can make a mixture of garden soil, peat and river sand. But the soil must be moistened before planting! After the sprouts germinate, they should have the first leaves - only then they can be planted. It is advisable to immediately plant the seeds in separate cups.
Interestingly, seeds, especially hybrids, do not always retain the variety of their parents. From the bones planted at home, wild animals grow, which next years ten will not produce their harvest. But you can not wait, and after a year and a half buy a fruitful stalk and graft your sprouts to it.
The most adapted to the home environment are lemons, oranges and grapefruits. More capricious and difficult to grow are tangerines and other hybrids. Each citrus grows differently: someone sprouts quickly, someone is undemanding to the soil, everyone has a different duration of flowering and fruiting. But what citrus fruits have in common is intolerance to dry air, spider mite, aphids and others. The most popular citrus to grow was and still is the lemon.
"Divine" fruit at home.
Another fruit that is not difficult to grow at home is persimmon. It is taken to grow very rarely, since the persimmon is still capricious.
Recommendations for planting are as follows: the seeds need to be washed and dried, then they should be planted in moist soil and create a greenhouse using a film or plastic bottle. The soil must be regularly opened and ventilated, and do not forget to moisten. If after a couple of weeks sprouts do not appear, then they will not germinate. But that rarely happens.
The root system of persimmons grows very quickly, so if several sprouts have appeared, then they need to be planted. At first, the persimmon will have to be transplanted 2-3 times. You also need to remember to regularly water and spray the sprout so that there is no overdrying or overflow.
People who have dealt with persimmons are advised to feed the plant with fertilizer a couple of times a month. You can form a persimmon bush when it reaches a height of 20-30 cm. In summer, persimmon can be safely left outside, but in winter it needs a temperature not higher than +10 ° C. If you leave a persimmon in the apartment in winter, then it will most likely die.
In an apartment, a persimmon can grow up to 1.5 meters, but it will not bear fruit soon, only if a cutting of a fruitful tree is grafted onto it.
dried fruit palm
It turns out that even a real palm tree can grow from dried dates. During drying, the dates are not subjected to heat treatment.
Planting recommendations: before planting the seeds, it is better to soak them in water for a week, and change it daily, and then simply insert them into the ground vertically. A mixture of peat and sand is suitable as a soil. Be sure to moisten the soil so that it does not dry out. And a month later, date sprouts will grow.
As a result, with proper care, a two-meter palm tree can grow. But it is unlikely that this palm tree will ever bear fruit. look after date palm not very difficult: it needs to be watered and sprayed in a timely manner, ventilated and provided with enough light, and also do not forget about the cool wintering. In the first five years, the palm tree must be periodically transplanted into larger pots.
The most unusual plant that you can grow at home is mango. First you need to extract a huge bone from a ripe fruit and get its core. For cultivation, a light and loose substrate is recommended, and expanded clay drainage should be placed on the bottom of the pot.
It’s good when the bone opens up on its own, or it can be easily pushed apart with your fingers, which means it is ripe and can be planted. But if this does not happen, then you need to soak the bone in water for a couple of weeks or wrap it in a damp towel, but at the same time make sure that it does not dry out.
The emerging sprouts need regular moisture, and also do not forget about light and heat. The temperature comfortable for mangoes should be at least +18 ° C. If the plant feels good, then in 5-10 years it can bloom. But the fruit of this tree will still not be due to the complexity of its pollination.
There are many other exotic plants that you can try to grow on your windowsill. But alas, it is unlikely that they will bear fruit. In this case, the growing process itself and pride in oneself when an exotic tree or palm tree turned out from an ordinary bone are interesting.
A lot of types of exotic fruits can be grown at home, there would be a desire, a little patience and Internet access. 
Citrus fruits: we grow lemon, tangerine, grapefruit at home
Citrus plants are the most popular. Since these plants require a lot of heat, they grow well and bear fruit in a garden that is reliably protected from the cold. Lemon, orange, grapefruit - all this you can easily grow at home. Caring for such plants does not require special gardening skills.
How to grow avocados at home
An avocado sprouts from a seed taken from the fruit. The stone with a blunt end is placed in the soil, and the tip is left to protrude above the surface. Before the leaves appear, the plant needs an air temperature of about 18 degrees, and in winter period avocados need to be kept at low temperatures.
Grow pineapple at home
To grow a pineapple, you need to cut off the top with a piece of pulp from its fruit and plant it in wet sand. Pineapple needs to be watered frequently. True, grown in conditions winter garden, this fruit will not always be able to produce truly fragrant fruits.
Is it possible to grow bananas at home

The air temperature should be high - 24-28 degrees, and in winter not lower than 16. Banana needs abundant watering, as well as a regular supply of organic fertilizers. And this plant begins to bear fruit no earlier than the 3rd year.
How to grow pomegranate at home
Another plant that can be grown in the winter garden is punica. In other words, a room pomegranate. The tree can grow up to 1 meter tall and bloom every year. But it does not always give fruit, because in a winter garden it may experience a lack of heat. For the appearance of fruits, you should use the heating of the winter garden in the autumn, or sometimes transfer the plant to the room.
Growing dates from seed
A common plant among gardeners is the date. It successfully sprouts from the bone of a dried fruit at temperatures above 20 degrees. In winter, the temperature of the content of dates should drop to 12-14 degrees. 
Coffee and bay trees can be grown at home
