How to grow strawberries in autumn

1. Soil laying for insulation

In autumn, the temperature fluctuations can become very large, and a sudden drop in temperature is not impossible. To prevent the plants from freezing, you can spread 3 to 4 inches of hay on top of the plants to keep them warm. When the temperature rises next year, you can remove this layer of hay. If you are growing several plants in pots, you can move them indoors to maintain the temperature and promote fruiting.

2. Increase Lighting

It likes light very much, and lighting conditions are very important for it. Only by ensuring this condition can its normal growth be maintained. When autumn comes, the strong summer light ends and the intensity of light will weaken a lot. At this time, it is necessary to increase the light time to promote the growth of the plants. This is more important for maintaining plants in pots.

3. Reduce watering

Summer is the period when its fruits ripen, so it needs timely watering to meet its growth needs. However, when autumn comes, the plant no longer needs so much water for growth. At this time, you need to control watering and not apply too much water to avoid root rot.
