Moon Calendar

Plant cultivation with seed germination according to the lunar calendar 

Growing plants according to the lunar calendar is a traditional practice that is particularly popular in organic gardening. Many gardeners organise sowing, care and harvesting according to the phases of the moon - even if there is still no scientific proof of its effectiveness. The germination of seeds on the first day of the full moon is considered particularly promising in traditional teachings, as this time is said to be associated with an energetic peak in nature.

For germination, the seeds are placed directly in a fine growing medium. Uniform humidity, temperatures around 22-25 °C and a quiet location are crucial. The first roots usually appear after a few days. Followers of the lunar calendar report that plants that germinate during a full moon often develop particularly vigorously and robustly - even if this has not been scientifically confirmed.

If you want to use the lunar calendar, you can also use the moon phases as a guide for later steps such as fertilising, repotting or harvesting. In any case, starting at full moon is considered a promising beginning in harmony with natural rhythms.
