Winter strawberries bright and colorful, how to raise good strawberries in the winter - North American federal think you want to strawberry growth is good, it is necessary to learn more about planting strawberries, especially strawberry blossom must do a good job of reasonable fertilization, especially phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, specifically as a good fertilizer manufacturers said:
Strawberries blossom and fruit successively, in the blossoming and fruiting period, once the Lack of phosphorus and potassium, will reduce the cold resistance, with less flowers, buds weak, affecting the flowering and fruiting, not only the low rate of fruiting, and coloring is not good, the sugar content declined, tastes light, easy to rot and spoilage, intolerance of storage and freshness. Therefore, during the flowering and fruiting of strawberries, we should pay attention to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to prevent strawberry plants from lack of phosphorus and potassium. Specific fertilization methods are as follows:
During the flowering and fruiting of strawberries, it is necessary to apply a phosphate and potassium fertilizer to the roots every 15-20 days, 40-50 kg of potassium phosphate per acre each time, or 70-80 kg of composted and rotted cow bone meal or pig bone meal, diluted 80-100 times with water, evenly sprinkled in the soil around the roots of the strawberry plant can be.
Also every 7 to 10 days to spray a 800 times the Starbucks phosphorus and potassium aqueous solution, or 25 to 30 times calcium superphosphate and clean and pure grass ash leaching clarified liquid, evenly sprayed wet all the leaves, buds, flowers and fruits to begin to have droplets of water dripping down as appropriate to supplement the phosphorus and potassium fertilizers from the foliage.

Strawberry habits: sun-loving, cold, afraid of drought, avoid stagnant water, like to grow in a moist environment and loose, fertile,
well-drained sandy soil. Avoid alkaline or heavy clay soil. In the south of the Yangtze River, summer and fall cut the young plants planted, the following year early
Spring growth of new leaves, after the opening of small white flowers, fruit ripe from the first half of May can be eaten. The whole cycle from flowering to fruit ripening is 30 days - 40
days.
Home pot culture method: after autumn, from the mother plant grows out, like a small orchid strawberry plant cut down,
planted in the pot with culture soil, and add organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer. Then water it well and place it in a semi-shady place, and when it is ready for potting,
move it to a balcony, platform or patio where there is use of light.
Daily management, usually keep the potting soil slightly moist, avoid too dry or too wet, too dry leaves are easy to scorch, too wet easy to cause
root rot. In the early spring growth period, fertilizer 1 time - 2 times, to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Before flowering in March, and then the pursuit of phosphorus and potassium
based fertilizer 1 time - 2 times, to promote its flowering and fruit. If the fertilizer is insufficient, it will be difficult to blossom and bear fruit (each plant retains 5 fruits
--10), when watering and fertilizing, pay attention not to splash fertilizer on the flowers and fruits, in order to prevent staining the flowers and fruits, affecting the quality, and at the same time,
pay attention to the environment is neat and tidy, to prevent snails, slugs, and birds, etc. to eat the fruits.
