The state of the moon affects not only the ebb and flow. All living organisms are subject to the force of this attraction. When to sow eustoma for seedlings in 2022 according to the lunar calendar and by region, it will be useful to know for everyone who wants to perfect the agricultural technology of this rather capricious flower.

When to sow eustoma

The vegetation cycle of eustoma is quite long: from the moment of sowing to flowering, it takes 20-26 weeks or 5-6 months. Therefore, in order to get flowering plants in July-August, they are sown for seedlings in January-March, depending on the region.

The term also depends on the growth rate: hybrid varieties may have a shortened growing season, such plants can be planted a month later than others.

An example of an early flowering hybrid is Aurora. This varietal line is distinguished by very long cut stems - up to 1.5 m. The color of the buds is white, blue, pink, purple.

For spring flowering, it is planted in October-November. You can sow eustoma in March-June, but this is rarely done. The plant will bloom only in autumn, when there are already enough flowering plants and hassle in the garden. In these cases, the eustoma is grown immediately as a container or pot plant.

The homeland of eustoma is the south of the United States and Mexico, where cold winters are absent. The plant is thermophilic and not adapted to contrasting climates.

The influence of the moon on the well-being of plants

Plants are most vigorous during the waxing moon. She pulls their juices up. These are the optimal days for all fruit and flowering plants, excluding root crops, with which they work on the waning moon. Also, on the days of the waning moon, perennials are cuttings, bushes and trees are vegetatively propagated, pruning and seeds are collected.

Eustoma or lisianthus is a plant with lush flowers. To work with such crops, it is best to choose the days of the growing moon, and the transplant during this period will not be very successful: juices in the upper part, the plant will take root worse. And for working with seeds, this is the ideal period. The seeds soaked or sown on the growing moon have more energy, they are programmed for active growth and development.

Eustoma seeds are not stored for a long time. They can be kept for 1 year, then their ability to grow significantly decreases. Therefore, when buying, it is better to choose the freshest material.

Optimal days for sowing eustoma according to the lunar calendar

The best days for working with eustoma are shown in the table.

Month	Seed soaking	Sowing seeds
January	1-5, 9, 11, 27, 28, 29	1-5, 6, 9, 11, 16-19, 22, 27-29
February	1-8, 20, 24, 25, 28, 29	1-4, 6, 7, 12-14, 20, 24, 25, 28, 29
March	3-6, 11, 13, 17, 18, 22	3-6, 11-13, 17, 18, 22, 27, 28
April	3-8, 10, 14, 23-30	1, 2, 7-10, 13, 18, 19, 24, 28, 29
October	1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11-13, 19, 20, 24, 25, 28-30	4, 10, 14, 17, 18, 21-23, 26, 27, 31
November	2, 3, 7, 11, 14-17, 20, 21, 25, 26, 30	2, 6, 7, 12, 22, 24, 28, 29

Days of the waning moon are also acceptable, but they are less favorable. In 2022, these are the dates:

• January - 19-31;
• February - 17-27;
• March - 19-31;
• April - 17-29;
• October - 10-23;
• November - 9-22.

It is possible to plant eustoma on these days if it is not possible to carve out another day.

Unfavorable days

Do not plant on new or full moon days. On the days before the full moon and immediately after, some work can be carried out: treatment from pests, feeding, weeding. The new moon is excluded from the schedule entirely, along with the day before and after it.

In addition, the timing is shifted by region and depending on the desired flowering period. When you shouldn't sow eustoma for seedlings in 2022 according to the lunar calendar:

• new moons (together with days before and after): January 1-3, February 1-2, 28, March 1-3, April 1, 2, 29, 30, October 24-26, November 23-25.
• full moon: January 18, February 16, March 18, April 16, October 9, November 8.

If necessary, eustoma can be sown on these days, however, you should compensate for the lunar influence with careful agricultural technology or choose undemanding varieties.

One of the most unpretentious lines is Flamenco. This variety is 90-120 cm high, with large flowers of the most varied colors.

Top constellations

The days when the moon is in certain constellations also affect the well-being of the eustoma.

Fishes

The best sign for harmonious plants with good roots, sturdy stems not too long, and gorgeous chiseled flowers. It is recommended to plant compact varieties of Lisianthus during this period. Flowering will be profuse, although not too long.

Days of the Moon in Pisces in 2022: January 6-7 (growing), February 3-4 (growing), March 29-31 (waning), April 26-27 (waning), October 7-8 (growing), 3- November 4 (growing).

Cancer

Patron of low-growing plants. They will be strong, resilient, with powerful stems and peduncles. An ideal period for soaking the seeds, but the crops will sprout relatively slowly. The sign is not very beneficial for the purpose of obtaining maturing fruits or seeds, so if it is assumed that lisianthus will be a mother plant for collecting seeds, it is better to plant it at a different date. But for obtaining very abundant flowers, this is the best sign.

The moon in Cancer will be on the following days: January 16-17 (growing), February 12-14 (growing), March 11-13 (growing), April 8-9 (growing), October 16-17 (waning), 12- November 12 (decreasing).

Scorpion

The second sign of the abundance of flowering after Cancer. Seeds sown during this period will quickly sprout, have powerful roots, strong stems, abundant persistent flowers of bright color. Lisianthus has a beautiful but faint scent. If you sow it on days when the moon is in Scorpio, the scent will be brighter. Seeds harvested from these plants will have good germination.

Moon days in Scorpio: January 25-26 (waning), February 22-23 (waning), March 21-22 (waning), April 17-18 (waning), October 27 (waning), November 22-23 (waning) …

Taurus

After Cancer and Scorpio, this is the most productive sign. The seeds germinate for a long time, but the seedlings are abundant, friendly, the plants are strong, and the flowering is long and very beautiful. You should not plant a plant during this period to obtain seeds: they will have a low germination capacity, a shortened shelf life.

Moon in Taurus: January 11-12 (growing), February 7-9 (growing), March 6-8 (growing), April 3-4 (growing), October 11-12 (waning), November 7-9 (growing), full, decreasing).

Capricorn and Libra are fertile signs, but less than the previous four. The infertile ones are Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius. Leo and Aries are infertile, while Aquarius is considered barren.

Choosing a day when the moon is not just growing, but also in the appropriate sign, you can enlist the support of the lunar forces doubly. If the sign is favorable, and the moon is waning, you can somewhat compensate for its negative influence.

Timeframes by region

When to sow eustoma for seedlings in 2022 according to the lunar calendar also depends on the preferred timing for the regions. Auspicious days should be chosen in the right range:

• Central Russia, Moscow, Moscow region - February.
• Southern Russia - February-March.
• Northwest, Leningrad Region - mid-January.
• Ural, Siberia - January.

For distillation of eustoma, any time frame is chosen.

Indoor, compact varieties of eustoma can also be sown at any time. In these crumbs, the stem length does not exceed 20 cm. These are the varieties Mermaid, LittleBell, Florida Pink.

Outcomes

1. Eustoma has a long period before flowering - 5-6 months.
2. For summer flowering, seeds are sown in January-March.
3. The days of the growing moon are most favorable.
4. The waning moon is not the best period. You should not sow eustoma and other plants on the days of the full moon and new moon.
5. The colder the region, the earlier the eustoma is planted.
