What environment is suitable for strawberry growth?
Strawberry growing environment
Strawberries like cool climate and are not cold-tolerant. It is a light-loving plant, but it has strong shade tolerance. When the light intensity is high, the plant is short and strong, the fruit is small, the color is dark and the quality is good.
Strawberry growing soil: Strawberries grow well in fertile, loose and slightly acidic loam, and should not be planted in cohesive soil. Regular irrigation is needed after planting to promote plant growth.
Growth temperature of strawberry: the optimum growth temperature of strawberry is between 15-22℃, the growth temperature of root system is between 5-30℃, and its flower buds are prone to freezing injury between 15- 10℃, so shading measures should be taken in summer.
Strawberry watering requirements: strawberry needs more water during the growing period, so it should be watered more. Watering can be done once every five days in spring, once every day in summer, once every two or three days in autumn and once a week in winter, so newly planted seedlings should be watered less.
Fertilization requirements for strawberries: strawberries should be properly topdressed before flowering and during berry expansion, and fertilizers such as potassium sulfate can be applied. Spraying liquid fertilizer on plant leaves before and after flowering is beneficial to increase production.
Growth conditions of potted strawberries
When planting strawberries, it is best to use a 1.5 gallon flowerpot. It is best to use purple sand or ceramic flowerpots, but it is not recommended to use root control pots, because the later growth of strawberries will be limited, leading to stunting.
Indoor cultivation conditions of strawberry
Strawberries can be placed in a place where the light time can be guaranteed for 5-6 hours. The more light, the better it will grow. Can be placed in the balcony and living room with good lighting conditions at home.
Generally, when maintaining strawberries in the indoor environment at home, we need to put strawberries on balconies, windowsills and sunny places in the south. We need to prune them in the appropriate fruit period every spring, which is beneficial to the growth of strawberries indoors. In winter, it is necessary to control the temperature above 10℃ to keep warm.
At the same time, attention should be paid to watering strawberries at home, and the breeding position should have good light. Poor light will reduce fruit yield, and summer can properly block the sun.
