Experienced gardeners and gardeners use the lunar calendar as a guide for various types of work. He will tell you when it is better to dive tomatoes after sprouting in 2021 in order to get healthy and strong seedlings. After all, it is the phase of the moon that determines the further growth and development of plants.

Why dive tomatoes

Diving allows you to detect weak seedlings and remove them so that the stronger ones get more light and moisture.

Advantages of the procedure:

• sowing of seeds is initially carried out in a more compact container, which saves space on the windowsill;
• in the process of diving, the soil composition is renewed, as well as the thinning of seedlings, while the remaining bushes begin to actively grow and develop;
• a developed root system consumes more nutrients from the soil;
• after diving, the development of green mass is suspended, since the plant directs all its forces to the development of roots, which allows transplanting a few days later.

Diving, carried out in compliance with the terms, avoids intertwining the roots of a number of growing seedlings.

When to plant tomatoes

Seedlings are usually planted after the appearance of two true leaf plates. This happens, as a rule, a week after germination.

It is important to choose the right moment - too early transplantation is just as destructive for the plant as too late. The fact is that 3 weeks after the emergence of seedlings, the root system of tomatoes is already well developed, and the tightening of the pick leads to the interlacing of the roots.

When transplanted, they are easily injured, as a result, the plant is difficult to tolerate the procedure and is sick for a long time. Experts recommend starting work 1, 5-2 weeks after germination.

The influence of the moon

Before starting any work related to plants, you should carefully study the lunar calendar and perform actions in accordance with its recommendations.

The waning moon phase lasts 11-12 days. During this period, there is an increased pressure in the root system, which becomes more susceptible, and even minor damage can lead to serious consequences. It is not recommended to dive and plant tomatoes in a permanent place.

The duration of the full moon is 3 days (days before and after). Sowing, transplanting and forming tomato bushes is best postponed. You can do weed and disease control.

The duration of the waxing moon is 11 days. At the beginning of the phase, it is recommended to sow seeds, as well as plant tomatoes of determinant species in the ground.

Indeterminate varieties are planted closer to the full moon, when the plant intensively stretches upward. Recommended work: loosening the soil, transplanting tomatoes, since the root system practically does not react to injuries.

A day before the appearance of the new moon, it is recommended to carry out work to remove weeds and damaged shoots. On the day of the new moon, you should not make any manipulations. You can only loosen the soil and harvest seed material (it is then very well stored).

Plant picking according to the lunar calendar

The result can be influenced not only by the state of the plant at the time of the manipulation, but also by the phases of the Earth's satellite, as well as its position relative to the signs of the zodiac. The constellation Virgo would be ideal.

Another good seedling is obtained if the dive was carried out under the sign of Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio. Constellations have a beneficial effect on seedlings: the bushes quickly recover and take root in a new place, are less susceptible to pest attacks.

When the moon goes through the growing phase, the planet experiences high tides, which increases moisture levels. The period is characterized by active upward sap flow, that is, from the roots to the green mass.

This contributes to the intensive development of seedlings. Do not disturb the plants during the new moon and full moon, as this can lead to the weakening and death of the tomatoes.

The table below indicates the most suitable days when it is better to dive tomatoes after sprouting in 2021 according to the lunar calendar.

Month	Days of the month	Moon phase	Zodiac sign
February	12-14	Growing	Fishes
	22-24		Cancer
March	22, 23	Growing	Cancer
	26, 27		Virgo
April	18, 19	Growing	Cancer
	23, 24		Virgo
May	15-17	Growing	Cancer
	20, 21	Growing	Virgo
	24, 25	Growing	Scorpion

When to dive across regions

The climatic features of the region are also important, which determine the timing of diving and planting tomatoes in open ground.

Moscow suburbs

On the territory of the Moscow region, where a temperate continental climate prevails, the timing of agrotechnical work is quite extended. Diving in these regions is carried out from mid-February to the end of April, depending on the method of cultivation and the variety of plants. The optimal period for late-ripening varieties is the second half of March, mid-early and early ones dive in early April.

Ural and Siberia

The harsh climate of these regions dictates its own rules for planting and diving tomatoes. The heat comes here rather late, and the probability of return frosts exists until mid-June.

Therefore, experts recommend diving around the first half of April, provided that the seeds were sown at the most suitable time for this territory - in mid-March. Early varieties are recommended to be planted in late April - early May, mid-ripening ones - in early May, late ones - in late March - early April.

Middle zone of Russia

In open ground, seedlings are planted around mid-May, when the night frosts end. Therefore, the dive should be carried out at the end of March - mid-April, depending on the variety of tomatoes.

Summarize

1. Tomatoes are dived after the appearance of two true leaves.
2. Experts recommend carrying out manipulations 1-2 weeks after sowing.
3. In addition, the timing of the work is determined depending on the region of residence, the variety of tomatoes, the phase of the moon and its position relative to the signs of the zodiac.
