How to fertilize Strawberry
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Strawberry after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Unknown pest on my strawberry plant 🥲 It was all so far so good… Except the apparition of some tiny caterpillars 🐛 eating the leaves and fruits, but I took care of it picking them all out 🤔 or I ought to believe so 😅. Now I see these tiny tiny black insectes on the stem and on top of a leaf. What are they? Will it be easy to get rid of them? I added a photo of the gorgeous strawberry my Red is giving me 🥰 she is beautiful! Help me keep her strong and healthy ♥️ #PestControl #Strawberry #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

What is this? Hello people, I'm growing a few Strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa), specifically Festival and Snow White cultivars. I have never faced this problem before (a year), so I want to know what happened? This plant is in a glasshouse (Malaysia) so the temperature is around 18-30°C depending on the weather. #strawberry #festival #snowwhite #malaysia

Tips on growing strawberries?🍓 #strawberry I want to try growing strawberries....but I can't find strawberry plants anywhere🫠so I will have to grow from seed. Does anyone know when the best time is to sow their seeds is? And if it's better to start in a small container with a humidity dome over it or straight in the ground? It's early autumn now🍁, so I will maybe have to wait😞 If I am too late for their sowing season, does anyone have any recommendations for easy veggies or herbs that I can grow now in a container? I will also be planting the strawberries in a container if that changes anything about the soil I'll need. From what I have read, it needs to be well draining, have compost, and have a good layer of mulch on top. Is this the same for container growing?? Any tips and advice will be very much appreciated🌸I really want it to work out this time and honour poor Adri😐 She died because I didn't water her for 7 days😶 but I now have my first baby tomato gowing, so I've got really good motivation to actually go water the plants.

I decided to plant a strawberry runner from my dad's strawberry. Now it's wilting (perhaps from repot), though it got watered recently. Are they okay? #strawberry #help #dyingplant #repotseason #plantaddict
