The Best Place to Grow Strawberry Seeds

Strawberry seeds and plants thrive best when the are in full sunlight (for around 6 to 8 hours a day!) as this helps healthy growth and they are able to produce the max amount of fruits. If you're in a really hot climate, pick a spot that gets some afternoon shade to avoid the plant being scored.

Plant strawberry seeds in a spot with well drained and sandy soil, heavy or clay soil can lead to root rot.

To allow space for the runners spreading, plant seeds around 12 to 18 inches apart and avoid planting in spaces where tomatoes, peppers or potatoes have grown previously due to shared diseases and pests.

Top Tips for Growing Strawberry Plants

Before planting, enrich the soil with a compost or a well rotted manure as this provides nutrients to the plants.

Plant strawberries in early spring or late summer, it;s not unknown for plants to grow fruit in their first year, so you might have some strawberries during the summer.

Plant strawberries so that the crown (the point where the roots meet the stem) is at soil level. Planting too deep can lead to rot, while planting too shallow can expose roots.

Strawberries need consistent moisture, especially during fruit development. Water them deeply once a week, but avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses where possible.

Growing Strawberries in Hanging Baskets

Use a hanging basket that is at least 10-12 inches in diameter to provide enough room for the roots and runners. Plant 2-3 strawberries per basket to avoid overcrowding. Space them evenly around the basket.

Hanging baskets dry out faster than garden beds, so monitor them closely and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
