Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully grow strawberries at home, particularly ever bearing strawberry plants, proper care is essential. These plants thrive in full sun, requiring a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant and flavorful fruit. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample sun exposure throughout the day. Well-draining soil is crucial; a sandy loam enriched with organic matter is ideal. Before planting, consider amending heavy clay soils with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and aeration. It’s also beneficial to conduct a soil test to ensure optimal pH levels (typically between 5.5 and 6.8).

When planting your red strawberry bare roots, soak them in water for about an hour before placing them in the ground. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots out, ensuring the crown (where the roots meet the stem) is at soil level, not too deep or too shallow. Space plants approximately 12 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and air circulation. Water thoroughly after planting. Consistent moisture is vital, especially during flowering and fruiting periods. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rain or irrigation. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the first fruiting flush. For winter care in colder climates (USDA Zones 4-6), mulching with straw or leaves is highly recommended to protect the roots from freezing temperatures, ensuring the survival of your continuous fruit strawberry plants for the following season.
