Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful growing seascape strawberries begins with proper planting and consistent care. Upon arrival, soak the bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes to rehydrate them. Choose a location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. Good air circulation is also important to prevent fungal diseases. The ideal soil should be well-draining, fertile, and have a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Amending your soil with compost or other organic matter before planting will significantly benefit plant health and yield. When planting, ensure the crown of the plant is at soil level, with roots spread out and not buried too deeply. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart, and if planting in rows, allow 3–4 feet between rows for adequate airflow and ease of harvesting. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but never waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

During the first year, it is recommended to remove any flowers that appear. This practice allows the plant to focus its energy on developing a strong root system and robust foliage, which will lead to a more abundant harvest in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of fruiting. Protect your seascape strawberry bare root plants from pests and birds, which are often attracted to the ripening fruit. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep berries clean. Expect continuous fruit production starting from the second season, with consistent yields each year, making these a valuable addition to any edible garden.
