What is the temperature at which strawberries grow?

Strawberries prefer a warm, cool and well-lit growing environment. They are very sensitive to temperature during their growth period and cannot tolerate high temperatures. The suitable temperature for strawberry plants is 15-24°C . Frostbite will occur if the temperature is below zero , and strawberries will grow poorly and cause diseases if the temperature is above 35°C . When the summer temperature is above 30°C, be sure to shade the plants in time and spray the plants appropriately to lower the surrounding temperature.

Strawberry planting time

As a perennial plant, strawberry can be planted all year round, but the best time to plant it is early September, when the climate is cool and the temperature is suitable, so strawberries can grow well. The overwintering strawberries are generally mature and available on the market from late January to early February.

In addition, strawberries can also be planted in spring from March to April, the flowering period is from April to May, and the ripening period is from June to July. In summer, we can eat strawberries that are sweet and sour and rich in nutrients.
