Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your everbearing strawberry plants is relatively simple, ensuring a rewarding harvest with proper attention. 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 set at soil level, neither too deep nor too shallow. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows or a grid, allowing adequate air circulation and room for growth. They thrive in locations with full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during fruiting periods; keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal. For the first growing season, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear. This practice encourages the plant to put its energy into developing a strong root system, leading to higher yields in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the main harvest. Protect plants from extreme temperatures and consider mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds. With diligent strawberry plant care, you’ll enjoy abundant harvests from these high yield strawberry plants.
