Strictly speaking, strawberries bear fruit once a year.

But because there are now greenhouses, strawberries can be planted twice a year, please note that it is planted twice, not fruiting twice, because after a batch of strawberries are all picked, the second time the strawberries will need to be all replanted again with seedlings, and then they will bloom and fruit again.

Cultivation Technology

1. Strawberry land should choose a slightly higher terrain, the ground is flat, easy drainage and irrigation, good light, rich in organic matter, strong water retention, good ventilation, PH value of weakly acidic or neutral fertile land. The previous crop is better with vegetables, beans, melons, wheat and so on.

Strawberries should be thoroughly removed before planting weeds, and the application of rotted farmyard manure, generally 5000 kg of organic fertilizer per acre, 50 kg of calcium superphosphate, 50 kg of potassium chloride as a base fertilizer, spreading uniformly after plowing 30-40 cm, to promote the soil ripening, the land leveling according to the 100 cm to do the bed, the bed width of 80 cm, the bed ditch width of 20 cm, the bed height of 15 cm, the bed is 20 m long.

2. Planting

Strawberries should be planted in a directional transplant, the bow of the seedling to the side of the trench, so that inflorescences are born in the same direction, the number of planting a hole a plant, the depth of planting above the not buried heart, the next not exposed roots as appropriate.

The planting density of strawberries has a great deal to do with the level of planting, weak seedlings, late planting, lack of fertilizer in the field should be dense, planting density of about 8,000 per mu is good, on the contrary, strong seedlings, early planting, enough fertilizer and take the film covering technology should be sparse planting, 6,000 per mu is good, plant spacing of 50 cm × 20 cm is appropriate.

3. Watering

Planted to water a thorough watering, planted a week after the general morning and evening watering once, and later to make the soil often keep wet state, in order to facilitate the survival of the?

4. Fertilization

Strawberry from planting to blossom and fruit need more fertilizer, in addition to adequate basal fertilizer, but also timely supplemental fertilizers, can be in the fruit expansion period and the beginning of the harvest mu of strawberry special fertilizer or diammonium phosphate 10 kg. Combined with watering in the form of 200 times liquid fertilizer ditching is more effective, the growth of good fields only sprayed 0.1-0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2-3 times, there is also a certain effect of yield, into the flowering period in principle, do not spray. Fruit picking field fertilization principle is appropriate N heavy P, K, must maintain a reasonable proportional relationship, in order to obtain higher yield and maximum benefit.

5. Covering

The mulch cover has a significant early maturity, the effect of increasing yield, but also improve fruit quality, increase the rate of commercial fruit. Generally in mid to late March to start covering the film. Note that before covering the film must be removed from the plant on the dead leaves, old leaves.

6. Harvest

Harvesting is a busy season for strawberry farmers, in addition to doing a good job of harvesting market work.

Potted strawberries

Potted strawberries are newly bred varieties, especially suitable for ornamental cultivation in the living room. From the point of view of visual beauty, strawberry leaf color green, bright red fruit, if you can plant in the natural simplicity of ceramic pots, tile pots, will appear to complement each other.

Potted strawberry seedlings need to be sown with good water retention properties of culture soil (such as hanging pots of flowers cultivation soil). Germination temperature of 20 - 25, after sowing the seeds should be covered with moisturizing, light favorable germination, about 5 days or so out of the seedling, then you need to gradually increase the light, is conducive to rapid seedling growth. Strawberries like plenty of light, it is best to have more than half a day of light every day.

We recommend placing them in a well-ventilated place. Strawberry is not drought-resistant, the potting soil is too dry leaf surface will appear brown spots, but also affect the fruit. Therefore, the surface of the potting soil is dry that need to pour enough water, to water from the bottom of the pot until the water out. 2 weeks or so a nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ratio of 5:10:5 liquid fertilizer, pay attention to strawberry blossom fertilizer should be applied in the plant around.

Potted strawberries once the fruit is ripe, ovoid red fruit beautiful and attractive, picked on a white porcelain plate or crystal glass containers, simply a work of art.
