How to grow strawberries

1. Prepare the soil

When planting strawberries, you should choose a clay pot with good air permeability because its root system is shallow and well-developed. You can buy prepared nutrient soil or prepare it yourself. When preparing it, use well-rotted compost, garden soil and river sand in a ratio of 3:4:5, and then add a small amount of chicken manure and well-rotted cake fertilizer to mix.

2. Selecting transplanting seedlings

Choose strong and well-rooted seedlings for transplanting, and prune the roots, cut off the old leaves and creeping stems, leaving only 2-3 small leaves.

3. Planting in potting soil

When planting, the roots should be evenly distributed, with the arch facing outwards and the stems upright. Pour the prepared nutrient soil into the pot until the soil is level with the base of the seedling. Do not plant too deep as this may cause the seedlings to rot. But it should not be too shallow. If the new buds are exposed, they will easily dry out.

4. Water thoroughly

After planting, water thoroughly once. After the water has penetrated, gently lift the seedlings upwards to allow their roots to fully combine with the soil. Place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. After about 3-5 days of normal growth, it can be moved to a well-lit place and maintained with care.
