Growing Strawberries in Containers

• Prepare the Plants
  You can start strawberries from either sapling or seeds. Small containers will need only one to two plants.

  Fill the container with good quality potting mix that will hold water but quickly drain away any excess.
• Plant the Strawberries
  Plant the strawberry plants, spread out the roots all over and then, cover the roots with the potting mix, and water the soil well. Add more potting mix as needed after the soil settles from watering.
• Place the Container
  Set the pot in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of sun each day to ensure plenty of flowers and fruits. If the sunlight is coming from only one direction, rotate the container every three to four days if possible, for the plants to grow evenly.
• Water the Plants
  Water your strawberries whenever the soil feels dry, don’t make the plants to be sitting in water. But you also don’t want them to remain dry for days and start to wilt, especially while the fruits are forming.

Types of Containers for Growing Strawberries

• Use a container with good drainage. Either several drainage holes at the bottom of the container or multiple holes throughout the container will do.
