Tristar Hunting Equipment / Strawberry Plants
Planting and Growing Requirements: - Start in a controlled environment: Before transplanting, start your strawberry plants in a plug or a pot in a controlled environment. - Sunlight: For optimal growth, ensure your strawberry plants receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. - Soil: Use well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter (70% soil to 30% play sand mix for best results). Maintain a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 for ideal growth. Moisturize the soil first. - Planting Time: Plant bare root strawberries in early spring or late fall, making sure the roots are well-spaced and spread out in the planting hole. Hydroponic or indoor planting anytime. - Spacing: Space strawberry plants approximately 8 to 10 inches apart in rows, with 2 feet between rows to ensure adequate airflow. - Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses are effective for evenly hydrating the roots. - Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips, around the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the fruit from soil contact.
