How to Grow Strawberries at Home

Different types of strawberries demand different ways of caring. Here's a step-by-step guide to growing strawberries in your home garden.

Step 1

Choose planting ever-bearing strawberries if you want a longer strawberry growing season.

Step 2

Take some hanging woven baskets and keep them in an open area.

Step 3

Now, pour the potting mix into the basket’s bottom half for your roots to grow enough. Mix some soil-based compost to provide nutrients to the plants.

Step 4

Take a huge tub and add some water to it. Immerse strawberry plants in water for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Gently move the roots away from each other so that they are not stuck to the bottom of the soil.

Step 6

Create a gap between the strawberry plants and place them around the rim. 

Step 7

Now, plant the strawberries in a way that the tops of the root balls are 1 inch below the rim of the basket.

Step 8

Cover up your basket with a potting mix just underneath the rim.
