Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper strawberry plant care is essential for a bountiful harvest from your everbearing strawberry plants. Begin by soaking the bare roots in water for a few hours before planting. When planting, ensure the crown (the point where the roots meet the leaves) is positioned at soil level, not too deep or too shallow. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart in rows, allowing ample room for growth and runner development. Strawberries thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the sweetest, most abundant fruit. A location with good air circulation is also beneficial to prevent fungal diseases.

The ideal soil for bare root strawberries is well-draining, rich in organic matter, and slightly acidic (pH 5.5-6.5). Amend heavy clay soils with compost or peat moss to improve drainage, and sandy soils with compost to enhance water retention. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during fruiting periods, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of berries. During the first growing season, it’s crucial to remove all flowers to encourage the plants to put their energy into developing a strong root system, which will lead to better yields in subsequent years. Protect plants from extreme heat with shade cloth if necessary, and in colder zones, provide winter protection with a layer of straw mulch.

Regular weeding is important to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Monitor for common pests like slugs, birds, and aphids, and address them with organic solutions or physical barriers. With proper strawberry plant care, your high yield strawberry plants will continue to produce delicious fruit for many seasons. Remember, the key to successful strawberry cultivation is consistent moisture, adequate sunlight, and good soil preparation.
