3. Waterlogging should not occur

---

The root system of strawberry is relatively shallow, the leaves are large and the amount of transpiration is high, and they prefer water. Sufficient water needs to be ensured during growth and maintenance. Different periods have different water requirements. Sufficient water must be ensured during the seedling, flowering and fruiting stages. A lack of water will affect normal growth and development, but less water is required during the flower bud differentiation stage. Strawberries require a moderate amount of water, but they are not tolerant of waterlogging and cannot be watered too much.

1. Strawberries love water

1. Strawberries like water

Strawberries have shallow root systems, relatively small plants, and many leaves that evaporate a lot, so they have requirements for watering and like water. Sufficient water must be ensured during the growth and maintenance process, otherwise the evaporation from the leaf surface will be large and the water will not be able to maintain growth and flowering and fruiting.

2. Water demand in different periods

1. Seedling stage: The seedling stage of strawberry is the growth stage. Watering must be indispensable at this time. The soil humidity needs to be kept at about 70%. Water the plant immediately when it is found that the plant is short of water. If there is a lack of water, the plant will become dwarfed, the leaves will become smaller, and the petioles will be shortened.

2. Flower bud differentiation period: During the flower bud differentiation period, less water is needed at this time. If you water too much, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds, resulting in a reduction in the number of flowers.

3. Flowering period: Watering should be done in time during the flowering period. But there should be no water accumulation. If there is a lack of water during this period, the flowering period will be shortened and the petals may wither.

4. Fruiting period: When the fruit grows and matures, sufficient water is required to maintain the soil humidity above 80%, so as to facilitate the yield.

3. Waterlogging is not allowed

Strawberries require an appropriate amount of water, but they are not tolerant of waterlogging. Too much watering will lead to poor growth and even Will cause root rot and death.
