Want a never-ending supply of sweet, juicy strawberries? It all starts with the right care.
​Most people struggle with strawberries because they treat them like regular houseplants. In this video, we dive into the “Big Four” of strawberry maintenance to ensure your plants produce fruit for years to come.
​📋 The Strawberry Cheat Sheet:
​1. The Crown Rule: Never bury the “crown” (the thick woody part where the leaves emerge). If it’s too deep, it rots; if it’s too high, it dries out. Aim for the exact soil line.
​2. Feeding for Fruit: Use a fertilizer high in Potassium (K) once you see flowers. Avoid too much Nitrogen at this stage, or you’ll get massive leaves but tiny berries.
​3. The Runner Strategy: In the first year, snip off the runners (the long vine-like stems). This forces the plant to put all its energy into its root system and fruit rather than making “babies.”
​4. Water Management: Strawberries have shallow roots. They need about 1–2 inches of water per week. Pro Tip: Always water at the base to prevent powdery mildew on the leaves!

Don’t forget to MULCH! Using straw or pine needles keeps the berries off the damp soil, preventing rot and keeping pests like slugs at bay.
