Is it true that you can't plant plants on a full moon?

For centuries, people have noticed that the Moon has a direct impact on all life on Earth due to its powerful gravitational and energy field. Plants are also no exception. The full moon period is considered the apogee of its cycle, a kind of "flowering". Many summer residents are wondering whether it is possible to plant on a full moon, whether it is worth doing any work related to plants at all. This period is not in vain associated with the activation of certain processes in all living beings, and the plant world was no exception.

The mechanism of the influence of the moon on plants

It is no secret that the ebb and flow in the seas and oceans is a consequence of the influence of the moon. People also react to its cycles: on a full moon, many have insomnia, an atypical increase in activity or a sharp decline in strength and weakness. During this period, the natural earth satellite is illuminated as much as possible by the Sun, feeding on its powerful energy. It would be logical to assume that plants (or rather, the water in their composition) are also subject to the lunar influence, in particular, on the processes of sap flow and suction functions. However, the explanation of the mechanism of tides is quite simple: when the moon passes in certain phases between the strongest and weakest gravitational points of the globe, its peculiar stretching occurs (by about 6%). Water is malleable, so it reacts more pronounced - ebb and flow. The largest rise in level is recorded immediately after the full moon.

The tensile force in this case is proportional to the size of the body that is affected. The gravitational influence of the Moon on the growth and development of plants is practically negligible, since their size is too small. In this regard, the intensity of the movement of juices through the tissues does not depend on the position of the earth satellite. But centuries-old observations of the state of plantings made in different phases showed that the Moon still has an effect on plants, but not physical, but energetic.

There is such a concept as bioenergetic potential, the magnitude of which changes depending on the lunar phases, field fluctuations. It is about him that we are talking about when favorable days are calculated when you can plant a garden. Moreover, experiments have shown that plants respond equally to the moon both in open ground and in greenhouses, as well as in a darkened room. The full moon is a period of increased activity.

Seed planting

There is a theory that energy is actively consumed during the full moon. In principle, it is possible to plant at this time, but there is a nuance: it is recommended only to sow, but not to transplant seedlings with roots. This is due to the fact that the activation of the energy potential of the plant during this period is possible only when it is stable, but not against the background of stress from transplants. It has been experimentally proven that wheat sown during the full moon rises much faster than wheat, the grains of which were in the ground during the growing phase of the cycle. Similar results were obtained during the experiment on watercress. If you sow seeds just before the full moon, then due to the accelerated process of activation and saturation with moisture, they will rise quickly and amicably. This property is useful to take into account when sowing in dry summers or in hot areas.

With a full moon, you can plant the seeds of any above-ground vegetable crops, since they are especially active in this phase. The yield increases by 15-20%. As an example: a pumpkin on a full moon increases its circumference by about 1 cm every day. Greens at this time also gain leaf mass well.

Planting seedlings

On a full moon, all plant juices are concentrated in fruits and leaves - in the aerial part, therefore, it is not worth planting crops in seedlings during this period. The root system is weakened and will not be able to adequately respond to stress. The plant will be sick for a long time, the rehabilitation period will drag on at least until the phase of the moon changes, and the bioenergy potential moves to the underground part. This time is especially unfortunate for any manipulations with perennials.

Plants in the full moon phase absorb more moisture, and regardless of temperature conditions, and metabolic processes proceed faster. You can not do pruning or vaccination, because sap flow is too active, any damage is fraught with great "blood loss". It is better to do this in a decreasing phase. It is not in vain that ancient sources recommend harvesting on a full moon - the fruits at this time are very juicy and poured.

Advice

The heyday of forces during the full moon occurs not only in plants, but also in microorganisms, so you can start spraying and processing garden crops from fungal infections and viral diseases.

The influence of the zodiac signs

When choosing the time for gardening work, it is also important to take into account the zodiac sign in which the moon is located. Knowledgeable people advise paying special attention to the second factor: if the sign is favorable for work, then the phase can be ignored. Today, there are quite a lot of various kinds of informational publications, including printed ones, in which the full lunar calendar is signed in detail, by sign.

Sowing is not recommended if the full moon is in the following signs:

• Fish;
• Scorpio;
• Cancer.

Each garden crop has its own zodiac sign, which favors rapid growth:

• plant potatoes preferable when the Moon is in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Taurus, Libra, Scorpio;
• for carrots and onions for a turnip, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Pisces are preferable;
• beets and lettuce develop well, being sown during the period when the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, Libra, Capricorn, Pisces.

There are general principles of planting by plant type:

• Gemini is for curly ones;
• Aries - for thorns and thorns;
• Sagittarius is optimal for the development of root crops.

By synchronizing the full moon and a suitable sign, you can count on a rich harvest. The Moon stays in each zodiac for only 3 days. It is better to plant on the first day of passage, since this is the period of the highest manifestation of the properties of the sign.

If you still have to transplant seedlings on a full moon, then it is better to avoid the signs of Aries, Leo and Aquarius that are considered barren. Experience shows that with such an arrangement of the Moon, landings are sick for a long time, grow reluctantly, have a reduced immunity, and are unable to resist fungi and viruses.

There is also a gradation of periods according to the elements.

• Fire signs are unfavorable for landings. When the moon passes through them, neither plant nor sow, but the water element is a symbol of fertility.
• Depending on the purpose for which the culture is grown (for the root, leaves, fruits or flowers), the appropriate group of signs is selected: earth, water, fire or air.

At the same time, the full moon enhances the properties attributed to signs to program the course of plant development in a certain way.

It is possible that the results of ongoing research and observations of the behavior of plantings made on the full moon or other phases are a series of coincidences. Indeed, in addition to these factors, there are more objective reasons that affect the future development of plants:

• weather;
• quality of planting material;
• soil composition.

If it is not possible to follow the lunar calendars, then this is not a reason to tune in to a bad harvest due to untimely planting of seedlings or sowing seeds. Often the landing dates indicated in them run counter to objective reasons.A full moon or a waxing moon will not play a decisive role if physical factors are not up to par.
