When to transplant strawberry seedlings

Strawberry is a delicious and nutritious fruit, rich in nutrients such as vitamins, carotene, cellulose, iron, calcium, ellagic acid and anthocyanins. Regular consumption can protect eyesight and aid digestion. Because strawberries taste sweet and sour, they are very popular among young people, and many people choose to grow them at home.

Transplanting time of strawberry seedlings

The best transplanting temperature for strawberry seedlings is between 15 and 25 degrees, so it can be done in September and October in autumn. It is recommended to do it on cloudy days or after 5 pm, because the temperature during this period will be relatively low, and the survival rate will reach over 90%.

How to transplant strawberry seedlings

1. Soil and seedling selection

It is recommended to choose neutral or slightly acidic soil containing sufficient organic matter and good drainage for planting strawberries. For seedlings, it is recommended to choose seedlings with good growth and try to choose varieties with strong cold resistance. When selecting seedlings, you must also pay attention to not choosing seedlings with diseases, pests, and mechanical damage.

2. Transplanting method

Strawberry seedlings need to be given enough base fertilizer before transplanting. Generally, decomposed organic fertilizer is chosen, mixed with an appropriate amount of calcium fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. When transplanting, pay attention to the roots being level with the ground. If it is too shallow, the seedlings may be sunburned. If it is too deep, the leaves on the strawberry seedlings will easily rot and turn yellow, which will result in a low survival rate of the strawberry seedlings.

Management of strawberry seedlings after transplanting

After transplanting, the strawberry seedlings need to be watered thoroughly to keep the soil slightly moist. After the soil surface is dry, the soil needs to be loosened with a hoe to ensure moisture in the soil. In addition, a diffuse light environment should be provided to avoid exposure to sunlight, so as to facilitate resumption of growth.
