When to plant strawberries

1. Planting time

The best time to plant strawberries is in spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable, the survival rate is higher, and it is very beneficial for later growth. In addition, different planting methods are used in different planting seasons. If planting in spring, use the surviving seedlings for cultivation, if planting in autumn, use seeds.

2. Planting Method

1. Seed processing: If you use seeds for cultivation, you should take the seeds with better development after the fruits mature in spring, then wash them in water, dry them and then plant them. If you are using seedlings for cultivation, just make sure that each seedling has soil at its roots, so that the survival rate will be higher.

2. Planting in pots: When planting, you should use clay pots for maintenance, which have better air permeability and facilitate water seepage. The soil should be sandy soil with good drainage. Before sowing, soak the seeds to allow them to fully absorb water, then sprinkle them on the surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil. If they are small seedlings, just plant them separately and keep them moist.

3. Later maintenance: When the seedlings grow three or four true leaves, they should be transplanted in time. Note that the roots should be covered with soil during transplanting to avoid root damage and affecting growth. When managing, you need to add water frequently and keep it moist, usually watering once or twice a week. In addition, you should apply fertilizer frequently, and use special fertilizer.
