It sounds like they are not getting enough potassium and phosphorous.

I have a clay pot with many holes on the side. I planted strawberries into esch hole. I had very few small strawberries come on 2 or 3 plants. Then a few plants start growing runners. Should I cut the runners off? How can I make each plant produce more larger stwarberries? The pot is sitting in full sun most of the day. How often should I feed and warter the plants? With a pot with many holes, do I put water in all the holes or put water only at the top hole? Can you please tell me in detail how can I grow and produce more larger strawberries from each plant in my clay pot with many holes. Thanks, Greg

We live in an RV and winter in California and summer in Washington. I would like to put the pots that have strawberries and other perennials in the garage in Wa where there are light to medium freezes, and take them out in the spring when we arrive back. Has anyone tried wintering without sun?

Out smart the ants and HANG your strawberry plants upside down to grow. Think. Above the box!

hi, im trying strawberries as a container plant for the first time. I have this oblong container about 2 1/2 fee long and putting just one strawberry plant in it seemed a waste of soil so I put 2 strawberry plants in it. However, subsequently i read that strawberry plants need 2 feet of space between them. My question is: Is about 8 inches between strawberry plants in container planting enough space?? tks

We had the same thing- turns out it was raccoons, believe it or not. They would also take large bites out of our tomato plants, so we’d come out in the morning to no strawberries, and ruined tomatoes!

If you are planting in a clay pot or near like a brick wall or something it is probably the heat doing this and not the sun. I’ve found that if you line the pot with bubble wrap before you put the soil in it helps insulate and keep all that heat off the roots.

I’m having trouble finding a decent sized strawberry pot – can you grow strawberries in a regular pot that is good-sized?

Is it because you have it indoors and it needs sunlight?

Hi,
I live in Malaysia, a rain tropical country in South East Asia. Yes, we have grown strawberries on our highland-top resorts under a proper shelter to avoid from heavy rains and insects. I tried though in lowlands (in containers outside window to have direct suns). They grew alright but hardly produced (fruits rare, small size and a sour taste). I need you advice on fertilizers, watering, favorable type of soils and to confirm on whether strawberry can be grown in hot and humid climate likes here?

I have a potted strawberry plant (1st year) that seems to have a lot of little black bugs in it, the plant doesn’t have any flowers or runners and 2 others that were put in the ground about the same time already have some ripe fruits.
What can I do to help my potted plant?

ok, im a dummy. I was given the gift of strawberry seeds and tomato seeds for my birthday. Planted them both at the same time, but have got the pots all mixed up, and now i dont know which is which. Any chance one of you cool gardeners out there have pictures of the little sprouts of either of them?? I don’t want to replant them into the wrong containers. Im such a dummy!!!!

Hi,

Um, I bought alpine strawberry seeds with a tiny clay pot, and soil from target for a dollar three days ago. It is starting to grow. I am thinking after it grows a little bit more I want to transfer it to a strawberry pot. I have never done any kind of gardening before. Does this sound like a good idea? How long should I wait to transfer it to a strawberry pot? Also, what do I need to know to successfully transfer a strawberry plant? Thanks.

I’m living on a ship in Africa. My friend bought me a strawberry plant, are there any fertilizers that are easy to make in very small loads with no smell or major mess?
