Soak the roots in water for about an hour before planting. Plant them in well-drained soil with the crown (where the roots meet the stem) at soil level. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart. - How much sunlight do strawberry plants need?
Strawberry plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to produce a good crop of berries. - What type of fertilizer should I use for my strawberry plants?
Use a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. - How often should I water my strawberry plants?
