It is better to water strawberries every few days.

How often should strawberries be watered?

Strawberries are not drought-tolerant and generally need to be watered every 2-3 days. The specific watering time should be adjusted according to weather changes. In spring and autumn, the climate is mild and suitable, so you can water the strawberries every week. In winter, it is relatively cold and the strawberries' water demand decreases. You have to wait until the soil is dry before replenishing water. You can water them once every 10 days or so.

How to water strawberries

1. When watering strawberries, pay attention to the growth status of the plants. If the roots are dry and the branches and leaves are wilted, you can water them with a small amount of water to make the soil slightly moist. When the humidity in the soil is too high, you cannot water the strawberries, otherwise the roots will rot.

2. Potted strawberries need to be watered according to seasonal conditions. In spring, they are generally watered once every 5 days. In summer, they can be watered every day and sprayed to increase humidity. In autumn, they can be watered once every 2-3 days and in winter, they only need to be watered once a week. If you want to repot the plant, water it thoroughly after repotting to replenish it with moisture. For plants that have just been brought home, check the soil condition. If it is moist, no watering is needed.

Notes on watering strawberries

1. When watering strawberries, be sure not to splash water onto the flowers and fruits to prevent excessive humidity, which may cause the plants to turn black and rot. It is best to use rainwater, river water, and purified water to water the strawberries.

2. When strawberries are just planted, you need to control watering and not water them too much. They will not be able to adapt for a while, which may affect their growth. If there are continuous sunny days during the maintenance period, you can shorten the watering time and do it in small amounts and multiple times. However, if the weather continues to be cloudy, do not water them too much.
