Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for maximizing the yield and health of your everbearing strawberry plants. These bare root plants are resilient, but a little attention will ensure a thriving patch. Upon arrival, soak the roots in water for 20-30 minutes before planting. When planting, ensure the crown (where the leaves emerge) is set at soil level, neither too deep nor too shallow. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. For optimal fruiting, choose a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Maintain evenly moist soil, especially during flowering and fruiting periods. Strawberries prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. During the first growing season, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear. This encourages the plant to put energy into developing a strong root system, leading to more robust plants and heavier harvests in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer or an organic compost in early spring and again after the first flush of berries. Protect plants from extreme heat in summer and provide winter protection in colder zones.

Regular weeding around your bare root strawberry plants is important to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulching with straw around the plants can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep berries clean. Watch out for common pests like slugs and birds, and consider netting or other deterrents as needed. With consistent care, your day neutral strawberries will provide continuous, delicious fruit throughout the season.
