Strawberry (plant)
Fragaria in pot: morning sun, fruit in the open, and non-clay substrate.
The strawberry is a ground cover that rots if the fruit rests on wet soil. Lift it with straw or cut mesh.
Care
6 hours of sun, planter, coco-perlite, watering at the base, trim runners if you want fruit, no carpet.
Problems
Botrytis on fruit, snails, spring aphids. Renew plants every few years.
What we recommend at Control Garden
Planter or 5-11 L and a piece of mesh for the fruit.
