Grow Strawberries in Strawberry Pots

What are strawberry pots?

Actually they are pots that are shaped in the form of an urn and have pocket-shaped holes all around them.

What are these pocket-shaped holes?

These "pockets" are the spaces by which the plants go out.

Strawberry pots are available in multiple sizes, whether big or small and are made out of various materials such as terracotta or porcelain.

While strawberry pots are made to grow strawberries, people tend to use them to grow any kind of plants as they are really decorative and some are wonderful pieces of art.

When growing strawberries in strawberry pots, the first thing you should do is to select the type of potin which you're going to grow your berries. Depending on the available space in the area you plan to grow your fruit plants, you'll choose whether a small pot, that you can even use to grow strawberries in the kitchen or a big strawberry pot that you can place in the patio near the dining table.

The next step is to make a decision on the materials which is the strawberry pot made out of: terracotta (perfect for the patio and/or garden) or porcelain (so nice in the kitchen) or even a pot made out of synthetic materials.

Then you're going to choose the variety of strawberries you're going to grow in pots. The best sort to use in a strawberry pot is the day neutral type, that is a quite new type of fruits but that can produce fruits during the whole Summer season.

The next step is to select the right compost - basically any kind of soil is good to grow strawberry plants. Then, you're going to fill the strawberry pot with the compost. Once you filled the first pocket-shaped hole with ground, plant the first strawberry seed. Repeat this until you reach the top of the pot where you'll add a few plants too. Place the strawberry pot in a sunny area of your yard, patio or home - strawberries need sun in order to get red and sweetened.

Watering caution: slowly and carefully pour water in the strawberry pot so that the compost doesn't go out through the pocket-shaped holes.

To help you make the most out of growing strawberries in strawberry pots, here are a few suggestions:

• Do not plant strawberry plants in the spring because they won't produce an important fruiting.
• The best period to plant strawberries is mid-September as it will allow them to be prepared for a big fruit production in the next season.
• Plant strawberries with care: the roots must be completely buried but the crown of strawberry plants should be above ground.
• Prune the shoots of your strawberry plants and transplant them in another pot.
• To avoid insects, place French marigold planters around your strawberry pot.
• Place nettings on your outdoor strawberry pots to prevent birds from eating your fruits.

Have fun and enjoy you new gardening hobby!
