To raise potted strawberries, use fertile, well-drained soil. When maintaining, try to place them in a sunny place to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water, and keep the pot soil moist at all times. The flower pot should be placed in a ventilated and sunny place, and liquid fertilizer should be applied every 10 days after germination in early spring to give it a growing environment of 20-25°C. In addition, dead leaves, diseased leaves and thin lateral buds should be removed promptly during the growing season.

Soil

For potted strawberries, you must first choose fertile, well-drained soil, and add decomposed chicken manure or bean cake as base fertilizer. New plants should be potted from late September to mid-October. At this time, the temperature is suitable, and new plants can recover and grow quickly after being potted. When planting, the soil should be compacted and the base of the seedling core should be flush with the soil surface. If planted too deep, the core of the seedlings will be buried and the seedlings will easily rot; if planted too shallow, the new stems will be exposed and easy to dry out. For old plants that have produced fruit, it is necessary to add nutrient soil to the pot before a large number of new roots appear in autumn. For excessive stolons, a part can be cut off and placed in another pot.

Light

Strawberry likes light and is a potted plant. When maintaining, try to place it in a sunny place, otherwise the plant will grow vigorously and bloom less.

Watering

Only with sufficient fertilizer and water can you have more flowers and large fruits, and fewer ineffective flowers. The flower pot should be placed in a ventilated and sunny place, and the pot soil should be kept moist.

Fertilization

Four-season strawberries bloom and bear fruit many times a year, which consumes a lot of nutrients, so nutrient supplementation must be strengthened. After the strawberries sprout in early spring, apply liquid fertilizer every 10 days. Fertilizer and water should be applied frequently before flowering, and the soil should be kept moist.

Temperature

Generally, potted strawberries require a temperature of 20-25°C, and the room temperature in winter should be kept above 15°C.

Shaping and pruning

During the growing season Remove dead leaves, diseased leaves and thin lateral buds in a timely manner. Unnecessary stolons and young plants should also be cleaned up in time.

Propagation

Mainly by stolon ramets, mostly after fruit picking in summer. What is surprising is that the long stolons of strawberries stretch far away, and several small pieces of grass with more fibrous roots grow on the nodes. Cut these "viviparous" strawberries from the mother plant and plant them. A new strawberry. Plant it on the ground in the courtyard or in the soil of a flower pot. Apply enough base fertilizer in advance, then water it enough and leave it in a shaded place for a few days. The survival rate of grass poison is extremely high, the reproduction coefficient is as high as 10 times, and it reproduces rapidly.
