Florist calendar for June 2024 planting and caring for garden flowers
After the end of May and night frosts, heat-loving garden flowers are planted in open ground. At the beginning of the month it may be dahlias. To increase the number of buds, they should be pinched above the fourth pair of leaves.
Afterwards, garden perennial or annual flowers are planted with seedlings or seeds. This can be nasturtium, gillyflower, aster, gypsophila, zinnia, cosmos, and Turkish carnation. The event is held only on favorable days of the lunar calendar, when the celestial body is in a growth phase.
After the seedlings take root and the crops sprout, young garden seedlings are fed with liquid mineral fertilizers, and the soil is regularly watered and loosened. This work can be done on any day of the lunar calendar.
For climbing garden plants, supports are installed and tied in June. If this is not done at the beginning of summer, it will be difficult to tidy up the intertwined stems.
Garden dahlias should be pinched and thinned out, so their flowering will be more luxuriant. It is optimal to leave no more than 3 strong shoots. Throughout the summer, dahlias are fed 2 times a month. Organic and mineral fertilizers are suitable for garden flowers or bulbous crops; they should be alternated.
Garden flowers with superficial rhizomes: phlox, astilbe, irises should be periodically sprinkled with fluffy soil. This will retain moisture in the rhizome and protect it from environmental influences.
Until mid-June I cut rhododendrons and clematis phlox. Roses are treated for aphids. A weak solution of potassium permanganate is suitable for this. All weeds should also be removed. Pests infest them.
At the end of the month, bulbs of fading tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and garden lilies are dug up. This is done after the flower has completely fallen off and the leaves have turned yellow.If you dig up the bulb too early, it may spoil. Digging is carried out in dry, warm weather, carefully, trying not to damage the bulbs. Afterwards they are placed in boxes in one layer and sent to dry under a canopy. Direct sunlight should be avoided. The procedure can be performed on any day of the lunar calendar.
Lunar calendar for June 2024: caring for indoor flowers
In the summer, not only garden flowers, but also indoor flowers grow actively. It is important to pay attention not only to flowering plants, but also to those that are dormant in the summer.
When can you replant home flowers?
Transplantation is carried out only on favorable days of the lunar calendar. You can also root and propagate flowers during the waxing period of the moon. At this time, the roots are least susceptible to injury.
Ornamental deciduous trees are transplanted onto the growing moon:
- ficus;
- monstera;
- dracaena;
- lemon.
Flowering crops: begonias, gloxinias, cyclamen can also be transplanted in June to the growing moon. But indoor bulbous plants: amaryllis, Indian onions, hippeastrums can also be transplanted during the waning moon.
A week before the expected transplant date according to the lunar calendar, the crop begins to be actively watered. A well-moistened earthen ball is easier to remove from the pot without damaging the root system.
After transplantation, indoor flowers are watered regularly, but moderately. Do not allow water to stagnate in the pot. This will lead to rotting of the roots. Watering is carried out on any day of the lunar calendar, and fertilizing is best done on favorable days during the waxing moon.
Recommendations for caring for indoor flowers in June
After transplantation, the plants must be well fertilized.Abundantly flowering crops are fed regardless of the replanting schedule: once a week until September, decorative deciduous plants - 2 times a month. Liquid fertilizers containing potassium and phosphorus are used as fertilizer. It is better to fertilize an indoor flower on a favorable day of the lunar calendar. But this procedure can be carried out on any other day, except for the New Moon and Full Moon according to the calendar. If the weather is quite warm outside, indoor flowers are taken out to the balcony or loggia, and the windows are placed for ventilation. Crops such as camellia, azalea, primrose, gloxinia, amaryllis, and flowering orchid do not tolerate high temperatures. They must be sprayed daily, avoid drafts, and protected from direct sunlight with special nets and films.
Cacti, bearberry (money tree), palm trees, and aloe tolerate heat and direct sunlight well. Begonias, geraniums, and Kalanchoe are also left on windowsills in the summer. For these indoor crops, darkening is detrimental.
Cyclamen is at rest in June. At this time, it is removed to a cool, dark place and watered once a week. At the end of July the flower will begin to awaken. Its active period occurs during the cold season.
At the beginning of summer, the side shoots of heavily overgrown deciduous crops are cut off, giving them a decorative shape.
Shortening of living shoots is carried out during the growing moon. Sanitary pruning can be done on the waning moon, according to the calendar. Climbing domestic crops are shortened, tied up, and given the desired direction and shape.
Every day, indoor plants are checked for pests, leaves and flower stems are examined. It is in the summer that insects are especially active. On indoor flowers you can find scale insects, spider mites, thrips, and whiteflies. At the first signs of damage, flowers are treated with chemicals - insecticides. You can also use folk remedies in the form of a solution of manganese or soapy water, or adhesive tapes. Procedures for exterminating pests of indoor plants are carried out during the waning moon.
In June, flowering crops are taken out onto the balcony or veranda. They should stay outdoors more often. Outdoors, flowers need to be provided with partial shade, regular watering, and spraying.
