Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your strawberry bare root plants is straightforward, ensuring a successful and fruitful harvest. Begin by preparing your planting site; choose a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. These plants thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Amend your soil with compost or other organic matter to improve fertility and drainage. Before planting, soak the bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes to rehydrate them.

When planting, ensure the crown of the plant (where the leaves emerge from the roots) is set at soil level – not too deep or exposed. Spread the roots evenly in the planting hole. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart, allowing for adequate air circulation and growth. If planting in rows, maintain 3–4 feet between rows. Regular watering is crucial, especially during establishment, to keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. In the first year, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear; this encourages the plant to put its energy into developing a strong root system, leading to higher yields in subsequent years. Expect your first large, sweet harvest to begin in the second season, and these plants will continue to produce for many years to come. Proper strawberry plant care will ensure a thriving patch.
