How to grow strawberries to get good results

Cultivation methods during the fruiting period

Water and fertilizer

During the fruiting period of strawberries, in order to make the fruit better, it is necessary to combine watering with fertilization. Be sure to keep the soil moist, and apply some foliar fertilizer or spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the strawberry leaves.

prune

When strawberries are growing, you can prune their stems and leaves appropriately, and cut off some creeping stems to increase yield. Of course, in order to enable better reproduction, it is still necessary to retain an appropriate amount of stems, but not too many.

In addition, during the growth process of strawberries, the leaves continue to grow, and old and diseased leaves need to be removed in time, which is beneficial to maintaining the plant shape and ventilation and light transmission.

Sparse buds

When the strawberries are in bloom, they need to be thinned out appropriately. Some flowers that will not bear fruit should be removed in time, leaving only appropriate buds.

Results Notes

Fruit pad

When growing strawberries, the fruits slowly grow and droop, easily coming into contact with the soil. In order to prevent them from being contaminated, you can use some straw to pad them.

Pests and diseases

Pests and diseases are a difficult hurdle for strawberry growth and fruiting. They will affect the growth, flowering and fruiting of the plants, so they need to be prevented and controlled in a timely manner. Generally, strawberry diseases include powdery mildew, leaf spot and gray mold, and insect pests include aphids, red spiders, etc., so the right treatment should be used.

Harvest

Harvesting strawberries is also very important, because if they are not harvested in time, the fruits will easily rot.
