By August, the zenith of the vegetation of most plants has already been completed; ornamental crops begin to tune into the dormant period. But before freezing during the cold season, the flowers take care of the offspring, prepare for the next season: they ripen the ripened seeds, accumulate nutrients in the tubers and bulbs. The florist lunar calendar in August 2019 contains a whole range of works designed to help green pets properly complete the next life cycle. After all, indoor plants are completely dependent on the owners.
Florist calendar August 2019
Watering, top dressing, lighting, temperature - the care of the grower. Even the propagation of ornamental crops under conditions of artificial content is not without human intervention. It is all the more important to coordinate the phases of plant life with the biorhythms of nature. The florist’s lunar calendar will tell you on what day how to help the flowers, and when it is generally better not to approach the home greenhouse.
In August 2019, such days when caring for plants will be harmful, only 6: 1, 2, 29, 30, 31 are associated with the birth of a new moon, and 15 - the middle of the lunar cycle - the full moon. People and flowers these days are vulnerable, work with the earth is prohibited.
The first half of the month, before the full moon, is a very busy schedule of flower care activities. All types of work are planned at this time, but bulbous are excluded from the list of cultures. Their time is the second half of the month. Flowers whose rhizome is a tuber (gloxinia, cyclamen, begonia) are also given attention after the full moon.
For feeding, the lunar calendar provides for separate days: on the growing moon (from 3 to 7, from 11 to 13), mineral complexes are brought in, on the waning (16-18, 21-23, 26, 27) organic fertilizers are more effective.
Recommendations for August 1-10, 2019
The first two days of the decade - the opportunity to rest, plan work, relying on the lunar calendar of the grower. Since spring, plants have been actively growing, gaining green mass, so by the beginning of autumn, some will need a transplant in a larger tank.
A lot of root offspring is an occasion to plant them in separate pots so that the young growth and strength do not suck the juices from the mother bush. From the 3rd to the 8th day according to the lunar calendar, the best days are at the beginning of the month, and by the time of rest all plants will have time to take root.

In this decade, similar works are possible only from 16 to 18.
Flower care from August 21 to August 31
Due to the new moon, the last decade of the month is reduced to 8 days for flower care. Of these, only 5 are suitable for planting. Top dressing these days is only organic, with an emphasis on phosphorus and potassium: these macronutrients help bear fruit, ripen seeds, and prepare for winter.
