Choose the Right Variety – Opt for everbearing, June-bearing, or day-neutral strawberries depending on your growing season.
Plant in Full Sun – Strawberries need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for maximum sweetness.
Use Well-Draining Soil – Loamy, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.8) ensures healthy roots and prevents rot.
Space Plants Properly – Keep 12-18 inches between plants to allow good airflow and prevent disease.
Mulch for Moisture & Weed Control – Straw, pine needles, or wood chips help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
Water Consistently – Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting, but avoid overwatering.
Fertilize Organically – Use compost or organic fertilizers high in potassium and phosphorus to encourage fruit production.
