Water: Barren strawberry thrives in temperate regions, requiring balanced moisture for optimal growth. It tolerates moderate drought but prefers consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Weekly watering is essential for health, especially during its growing season, which is dependent on sufficient hydration.
Fertilize: For optimal growth, barren strawberry requires balanced fertilizer in spring to boost flowering, strengthen roots, and enhance vigor. Apply sparingly to avoid growth inhibition, adjusting frequency based on plant performance. Always water barren strawberry after fertilizing to improve nutrient absorption and prevent root burn.
Pruning: Barren strawberry thrives with early to late spring pruning to promote healthy growth. Trim dead stems and spent flowers for enhanced blooming and compact shape. Use clean tools to prevent disease; avoid heavy pruning to reduce stress. Proper care assures a vibrant appearance throughout the season.
Propagation: Barren strawberry can be propagated through cuttings taken from healthy, non-flowering shoots in spring or early summer. Place cuttings in well-draining soil, burying the node. Maintain moisture without overwatering and provide indirect sunlight. Rooting takes a few weeks before transplanting young plants.
