Varieties: There are three main types: June-bearing, everbearing, and day-neutral. Each type has different fruiting patterns, so choose the one that best suits your preferences and climate.
Harvest: Pick the when fully ripe in the morning when the fruits are cool, and handle them gently to avoid bruising.
Light: Strawberries require full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. Choose a location that receives ample sunlight to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
Watering: Provide consistent moisture to strawberry plants, especially during dry periods and when the plants are setting fruit. Water at the base of the plants to keep the leaves dry and prevent diseases.
Size: Strawberries produce runners, which are horizontal stems that can develop into new plants. You can allow a few runners for new plants or trim them to focus energy on fruit production.
Temperature: In colder climates, protect strawberry plants from winter damage by covering them with straw or using other mulching materials. This helps insulate the plants and prevent freezing.
