2. The choice of flower pots and soil is also important. Although ordinary garden soil can be used to grow strawberries, it is still important to put a little fermented organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer. However, do not mix too much organic fertilizer into the soil, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots, leaves, and strawberry seedlings. Do not let the fertilizer come into contact with the roots.
When planting strawberry seedlings, you don't need to apply base fertilizer at the beginning. After the seedlings have adapted, you can consider top-dressing later. The flower pot doesn't need to be too large or too small, about 20 centimeters in diameter and 25 centimeters in depth, a regular galvanized pot, and a 1.5-gallon pot is also fine, with one plant per pot.
3. Potted strawberries need sunlight, water, and fertilizer.
It is a sun-loving plant, so potted strawberries must get plenty of sun. For the young seedlings just bought, keep them in a place with scattered light or semi-shade for the first week, shield them from the sun for a few days, and after the seedlings have adapted, about 7 to 10 days later, you can start exposing them to the sun.
