Best Way To Grow Strawberries At Home


How To Grow Strawberries in Pots Indoors?


First, you need to select a good strawberry plant. You can borrow runners or crowns from your neighbor, friend or family. If you don't have one, you can buy one from your nearest gardening center. Whatever you choose, it is important that the plant is suitable for the climate of your area.

Preparation of pot for strawberry plant


The roots of the strawberry plant are not very deep. Therefore, the size of the pot does not need to be very high. A small 5 gallon pot will also work. If such a pot is not available, then any large pot at home will do.

Place a piece of paper under the pot, so that the soil does not fall out from the bottom. Then fill the pot with good quality soil up to 75%. Keep in mind, the soil should be light and airy, so that the strawberry plant can breathe easily.

Planting Strawberry Plants in Pots


Now it is time to plant strawberries in a pot. First of all, moisten the soil well so that the roots of the strawberry are protected from shock. Then gently remove the plant brought from the nursery and plant it in the pot.

When you plant a strawberry plant in a pot, keep in mind that its crown (upper part) remains above the ground. If it goes inside the ground, the plant may get damaged. After planting the strawberry plant, fill the soil all around inside the Containers and press it gently.

Strawberry Plant Care


Now your plant is ready, but before you water it, put some grass clippings, leaves or dried grass on top of the Container. This will act as a lid, which will keep the soil cool and will not let the water inside the pot dry out quickly.

When watering the pot for the first time, give it enough water for every gallon of the Containers. This will give the strawberry plant a great start. It will not need to be watered for the next 2 weeks.


Waiting for Strawberry Fruit


Strawberry plants are very low effort. All you have to do is water the pots from time to time and take care of them. If you have planted the plants correctly, they will give you lots of sweet strawberry fruits. It is very special that you can grow so many fruits outside or inside your home, that too in pots.

Conclusion


If you don't have a garden, don't worry. You can grow strawberries on your terrace or balcony. Just put in a little effort and you will have red, sweet fruits ready in front of you.
