Plant Care
Light: Prefers Full Sun but will tolerate dappled shade.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry or about once a week. It’s best to water these in the morning and avoid splashing on the leaves, as this can cause fungal issues.
Temperature: 15-25°C is ideal but can go down to -6°C. If the temperature goes above 30°C, be sure to shade your strawberry plant to avoid sunburns.
Potting: An organic-rich and well-draining mix is great for these plants. Our A sandy loam mix would do the trick, or you can make your own perfect mix: 2 parts coconut coir, 1 part of perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part compost or worm castings, 1/2 part sand.
Hot tips: Your plant will produce more fruit if it is in brighter light. Be sure to pick fruit as it ripens.
Pet Friendly: Yes
