How to pollinate potted strawberries

Do potted strawberries need pollination?

When growing strawberries, they need to be pollinated. Only after pollination can they produce better results.

Basically, when growing potted strawberries, pollination needs to be carried out in a timely manner. If pollination is not done in time, the strawberry will produce less fruit or even no fruit.

Pollination of strawberries

There are mainly two situations when pollinating strawberries.

One is pollination under natural conditions, which is mainly done by insects or wind. However, for strawberries grown in pots, this is actually quite difficult. At this time, we should consider the second situation, which is artificial pollination.

Artificial pollination of potted strawberries

Artificial pollination is an important means to promote strawberry fruiting. First of all, when pollinating strawberries, the temperature should be kept above 15℃, and there should be no water mist on the flowers, so the period from 10 am to 3 pm is the main choice.

The next step is pollination. Strawberry is a monoecious plant, with both stamens and pistils on one flower, but it is best to carry out cross-pollination, so that the fruit set rate is relatively high. The method of pollination is also relatively simple. You can directly select two flowers and touch them directly to achieve the purpose of pollination. You can also use a brush, dip it in pollen, and then apply it to the flower, coating the entire flower.
