Frequently Asked Questions About Strawberry Plants
How long does it take for strawberry plants to produce fruit?
June-bearing strawberry plants typically produce a full crop the year after planting. You might get a few berries the first year, but the second year will bring a much larger harvest, making the wait worthwhile.
What is the best way to plant bare root strawberry plants?
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 to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
How much sunlight do strawberry plants need?
Strawberry plants need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce a good crop of berries. Choose a sunny location in your garden for optimal fruit production.
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 to support vigorous development.
How often should I water my strawberry plants?
Water regularly, especially during dry periods and fruit development. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot and other issues. Good drainage is key.
