1. Planting time

The best time to plant strawberries is in the spring of each year, and it is possible to plant them in July and August, but the planting time varies from region to region.

If it is warm all year round, it can be planted all year round.

2. Soil preparation

After buying seedlings from the market and disinfecting the roots with carbendazim solution, you can plant them.

After planting, you need to water the seedlings once to make sure that the soil and the roots are fully integrated to improve the survival rate of the seedlings.

If not watered, the seedlings will wilt, which is not conducive to later growth.

4. Post-care

After planting, you need to put it in a shaded position to avoid direct light to avoid dehydration and wilting of the plant.

Pay attention to the dryness of the soil, and water and moisturize it regularly.

As the plant grows up, gradually move it to a place with sufficient light. If the plant is grown in shade for a long time, it will not bloom.

5. Flowering and fruiting

Strawberry seedlings need to be pollinated to produce fruits.

If there are no bees on the balcony, you need to pollinate them by hand.

The pollen on the flowers of strawberry seedlings is gently dabbed with a cotton swab, and then the cotton swab is gently touched to the buds of other flowers, and the pollination is successful.

During the flowering and fruiting period, it is necessary to get more sunlight so that the strawberry will not be deformed due to the lack of light.
