What is the best way to grow strawberry?
You can grow strawberry with seedlings or by sowing seeds. When using seeds for sowing, simply press the seeds into nutrient-rich soil, keep the soil moist, and wait a few weeks for them to germinate. Keep seedling trays/pots indoors in early spring to keep them safe from frost.
After the seedlings sprout, you can transplant them into larger flower pots or gardens, preferably on a cloudy day in early spring to prevent wilting. Be careful to avoid areas where tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers have previously been or are being planted. These plants may carry verticillium wilt that can infect strawberry. Remove weeds and add slow-release fertilizer before planting. Dig a hole about the same depth as the root length of the seedling. If planted in a garden, make sure the plants are at least 30 to 45 cm apart. Fill the soil until the roots are not exposed and the stems are not buried. Keep the soil very moist but avoid water accumulation after transplanting until the plant becomes established.
After transplanting, you can also cover the ground with straw, pine needles, or mulch film. This not only suppresses weeds and saves water, but also keeps the fruit away from the ground. Change the ground cover annually to reduce the spread of pests and diseases.
