Strawberry Plant Basics

Soil: The ideal soil pH for strawberry plants is between 5.5 and 6.5. These plants require well-draining soil. Choose a high-quality potting mix that contains perlite, and then add approximately 1/3 compost to create a nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that your strawberries will thrive in. It's always recommended to check the pH of your soil.

Environment: If your area experiences daily temperatures in the 80s or higher, it's best to start your strawberry plants in a location that is not in direct sunlight, such as indoors with a grow light or outdoors on a covered porch. If you can start them outdoors in the spring, you may place them directly in your gardening bed or pots, but be sure to mulch them to help retain moisture when watered.

Water: If your strawberry plants are starting indoors or in a shaded area, they may only need to be watered twice a week. However, once they are moved to a location with full sun, you'll need to adjust your watering schedule to accommodate the faster drying of the soil.

Transplanting Outdoors: Once the plant has developed a few new stems, you can transplant them outside, usually about two weeks after the initial planting. For the first two days, place the plants in a shaded area outdoors to allow them to acclimate to the new humidity and temperature conditions. Gradually increase their sun exposure over the following days until they are in their permanent location. Be sure to mulch the soil before transplanting to help retain moisture when watering.

Environment: The optimal daily temperature range for strawberry plants is in the 80s or below. If your area experiences higher temperatures, it's important to start the plants in a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, such as indoors with a grow light or on a covered porch. If you can plant them outside in the spring, you may place them directly in your gardening bed or pots, but remember to mulch them to help retain moisture.

Water: The watering needs of your strawberry plants will vary depending on their location. If they are starting indoors or in a shaded area, they may only require watering twice a week.
