Winter has finally come into its own calendar, although the weather in your region could already be quite winter before the 1st of the month. December is sometimes quite harsh in terms of temperature and precipitation, and, of course, there is very little work with plants.
But it also happens that there is little snow and the temperature jumps, so many types of autumn work are still possible. This lunar calendar will be a hint for you, but of course, you will not always be able to work on the site as in previous months.
In this issue of the lunar calendar, we have prepared for you a list of what you should still do in the first month of winter — for special fans. If weather conditions permit, then this month you can give recommendations that you followed a little earlier, in November.

If you live in a private home surrounded by plants in the winter, you certainly care during the cold winter months. For example, now it is important to ensure that the plants are safely covered, the snow does not break the delicate branches of fruit trees and shrubs, and they are not spoiled by rodents.
For those who grow plants at home, this calendar will also be useful, because it also contains information about when and how to care for indoor flowers or herbs on windowsill!

THE ARRIVING MOON
♓ DECEMBER 1, Thursday. 8th, 9th lunar day from 2:12pm. PISCES
So, December is a time of relaxation for gardeners and truck farmers, as there is not much work to do. But there are still some things to do if you are visiting your property in December or living in a village. An important task in December is to preserve snow reserves on the site and prevent it from sticking to the branches of trees and shrubs.
Indoor plants: in winter, some plants can actively develop and bloom, while others, on the contrary, go dormant. You should find out in advance which plants in your home flower garden require colder temperatures and which ones you can stay in warm rooms. Compliance with the temperature regime is very important for different species, as this affects not only flowering, but also the appearance and health of your indoor plants.
Watering: A good day to water; you can also give plants a room-temperature shower.
What is the best thing not to do? make any homemade preserves; prepare cuttings and leaves for future planting and propagation of indoor flowers; cut and pinch plants; go shopping.
♓♈ DECEMBER 2, Friday. 9th, 10th lunar day from 2:19pm. PISCES, ARIES from 07:40
Moon without a course from 05:44 to 07:39
In December, care should be taken to protect trees from frost, for example, to insulate the roots, because the stem and branches can withstand quite severe frost, but the roots can suffer as early as -10… -12 °С. The easiest way is to insulate the trunks with covering material so that frost does not penetrate into the soil.
Indoor plants: planting fruit bushes (lemons, oranges, bananas, pomegranates, coffee, etc.); installing additional light.
Watering: allowed if necessary.
♈ DECEMBER 3, Saturday. 10th, 11th lunar day from 2:26pm. ARIES
Snow retention should be done on the site so that the snow does not blow up with winds and stays where it is needed. Snow will reliably protect perennials from freezing, and in spring it will provide enough moisture. Therefore, if you have a windy area, it is especially important to lay out branches in beds where, for example, strawberry bushes grow. During suitable months of the year, shrubs, such as raspberries, should be planted around the perimeter of the site, which will naturally retain snow on the site.
Indoor plants: planting fruit bushes (lemons, oranges, bananas, pomegranates, coffee, etc.); installing additional light.

In the early days of the month, weather permitting, you can find some mushrooms that prefer late autumn. Among them, you can find winter mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, rows, late hygrophores, shivers, strobiluruses, tinder, birch chaga and some others.
The latter mushroom, by the way, is not edible, but it is used for medicinal purposes in the form of infusions. This fungus has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties; it is not so easy to extract it, as it is quite hard and holds firmly to the bark of the tree, being essentially a parasite, a growth on the stems. Most mushrooms that can be found in winter do not grow directly from the soil; they can be found on trunks, branches, old stumps, etc.
Indoor plants: until 08:20 – planting fruit bushes (lemons, oranges, bananas, pomegranates, coffee, etc.); installing additional light; after 14:40 – working with soils, transshipment of plants, replacing the upper layers of soil in pots.
Watering: allowed if necessary.

If the snow has not yet fallen, but prolonged frosts are coming soon, you can sprinkle humus or mature compost in the trunk circles. Snow 3-5 cm thick can increase the soil temperature by 10° C, and if the snowdrifts are higher, this will properly insulate the roots.
If there is no snow yet, it is still not too late to clean the garden from plant debris and mummified fruits: it is better to collect and burn all the fruits, as plant debris can attract plant debris in spring a lot of pests.
Indoor plants: working with soils, transloading plants, replacing the upper layers of soil in pots; buying new plants or any products for their cultivation. If you need to buy a houseplant in winter and need to take it out in the cold for more than 15 minutes, make sure that the plant is securely packed.
