FAQs

When is the best time to plant these bare roots?

Bare roots should be planted as soon as they arrive in early spring while the plants are still dormant.

Can I grow these in hanging baskets?

Yes, their trailing nature and compact size make them perfect for hanging baskets as long as they are watered frequently.

Do I need to protect them from frost?

While hardy, a late spring frost can damage new blossoms. Use horticultural fleece if a frost is forecast during the flowering period.

How often should I feed the plants?

Use a potassium-rich fertilizer specifically formulated for strawberries once the flowers appear to encourage fruit production.

How long do these plants last?

Strawberry plants are perennials; with proper care, they can continue to provide a harvest for 3-4 years before needing to be divided or replaced.

Troubleshooting

Leaves appear pale or yellowing

This is often a sign of nutrient deficiency or waterlogged soil. Check drainage and apply a balanced liquid strawberry fertilizer.

Fruit is small or malformed

Ensure the plants are receiving adequate water during the flowering stage and consistent pollination by insects.

Plant growth is stunted

Ensure the roots were not planted too deeply and that the soil is not overly compacted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for beginners due to simple planting and low maintenance requirements
  • Strong root establishment leads to healthier foliage and faster initial fruit production
  • Highly versatile for different garden footprints, including small patio containers
  • Reliable summer-long harvest of high-quality fruit

Cons

  • Requires immediate planting once received to prevent the roots from drying out
  • Bare root plants need a period of acclimatization compared to established pot-grown plants
  • Fruit production is seasonal, limited to the summer months

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your 24-pack, follow these guidelines for setup and long-term maintenance:

  1. Preparation: Soak the roots in a bucket of tepid water for about 30 minutes before planting to rehydrate them.
  2. Planting: Dig a hole wide enough for the root system to spread out. Position the plant so the crown sits just above the soil line; burying the crown too deeply can cause it to rot.
  3. Soil/Compost: Ensure the medium is rich in organic matter and offers excellent drainage.
  4. Placement: Choose a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  5. Maintenance: Water regularly during dry spells. Mulch around the base with straw to keep fruit off the soil, which helps prevent rot and keeps the berries clean.
