Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your everbearing strawberry plants is straightforward, leading to abundant harvests. Proper preparation and consistent care are key to maximizing your yield. Start by selecting a site that receives full sun, ideally 6–8 hours or more per day. Good sunlight is crucial for fruit development and plant health. The soil should be well-drained and enriched with organic matter; aiming for around 30% organic content is beneficial. Before planting, amend heavy clay soils with compost and sand, or sandy soils with compost to improve structure and nutrient retention. When planting the bare roots, ensure the crown (where the leaves emerge) is at soil level, with roots spread out and covered.

Watering is critical, especially during the growing season and fruit production. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering stresses the plants and reduces fruit size. Once plants are established, they show good drought tolerance, but consistent moisture will yield the best results. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer in spring and again after the first flush of fruit. For optimal growth and fruit quality, consider mulching around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. These plants thrive in USDA Zones 4–9, making them suitable for a wide range of climates. Regular weeding and monitoring for pests and diseases will help maintain plant vigor. Using the included fruit support rings early in the plant’s growth will help train the foliage and ensure the berries develop cleanly.

To ensure healthy growth and continued fruit production, understanding strawberry plant care is essential. Pinch off any flowers in the first year until mid-summer to allow the plant to establish a strong root system, leading to more robust fruiting in subsequent flushes. Remove runners as they appear, unless you want the plant to spread and create new plants. This energy redirection helps the mother plant focus on fruit production. With diligent strawberry plant care, you’ll be enjoying fresh berries all season long.
