The fall is a great time to snip and press strawberry runners into a pot of soil. Keep them watered and let them do their thing. You’ll have plenty of plants for your gardens or even a plant yard sale.

Thank you so much for showing this. I was wondering how to propagate runners.
When is the best time to sow strawberries? I have green stalk planter
What a great video!! My first strawberry plants are growing in a GreenStalk. The leaves are turning reddish. I have runners trailing down so I need to do what you’ve done with them. My question is- should I leave my plants outside for the winter to be snowed on or take them into the garage? And do you water them through the winter?
Well I must live in the best place on earth then, I buy starts from the Amish hardware store in Lancaster PA, they only carry the types for our area so I don’t have to research, they sell them only at the right time, and it was 25 for $6.95 last year. I usually buy two or three kinds to stagger harvests. I don’t do enough to freeze for the year, I just buy plays of good berries from Amish in June. They have skyrocketed in price. But I don’t have space to do as many as I would want.
Unfortunately, I don’t have good luck with that method. I have better luck letting the runners root in a separate pot before I cut it from the mother plant.
This so timely. I was looking for information if it was ok to cut the runners before they root. Couldn't find anything.
I have a garden that produced runners everywhere over the summer, gonna leave them for next year and after that I hope to pot up new runners for the following spring to sell, this summer I had about 10 plants must have probably 200 or more I'm gonna count soon but I plan on next spring transfer them to a couple of huge barrels to make room for other plants I want to grow
With 5 plants I got around 30 runners 👌🏻
Would love to see what to do for first year raspberry plants. I planted 3, got lots of new canes and I’m not sure how to prune them, or not… I’m in central California very moderate temps here
THANK YOU for this information!!!! I thought the runners needed to be attached to root.
What do you do with them to protect them when you live in an area that drops below 10 degrees?
