Can strawberries spend the winter in the open air 1 number
Strawberries can't overwinter outdoors. Strawberry is a kind of plant living in subtropical zone, which is sensitive to the change of environmental temperature and suitable for planting in warmer and wetter areas. In winter, it can only bear the lowest temperature of about 5- 10 degrees Celsius, and if it is lower, it will freeze to death, so it is impossible to spend the winter in the open air.
2. Winter method
Strawberries wintering in the northern region can overwinter outdoors, but protective measures must be taken. Strawberries have shallow roots, so they should be watered with antifreeze before overwintering to ensure that the soil is soaked and then covered with a layer of mulch, whether it is weeds, leaves or straws.
3. Indoor winter
If strawberries are potted, rather than planted on a large scale, it is better to move them indoors for conservation. When strawberries are indoors for winter, it is best to put them on a windowsill or a stool near the balcony, so that they can receive sunlight. Pay attention to shelter when ventilation, and don't let cold air blow on strawberries.
4. Preventive measures
When strawberry is covered outdoors in winter, the purpose of covering with straw or soil is to keep warm and keep out the wind. So don't use materials that are too thick or too wet, and pay attention to the fact that there can't be weed seeds in the haystack and soil, otherwise there may be a serious shortage of grass.
