This is easy to do if you know the rules for sowing seeds and caring for seedlings and seedlings. In this article, you will learn how to plant strawberry seeds and how to care for seedlings to get a full and large harvest.
Instructions
Step 1
Seeds should be planted in mid-spring when they will receive enough light. You will need several 7-10 cm high containers with drainage holes. Fill containers with a mixture of earth and sand and sprinkle with warm water. Then start sowing the seeds by pushing them into the soil a little at a time.
Step 2
Cover the containers with the sown seeds with plastic wrap, from time to time removing condensation and moistening the soil with a spray bottle with water. Store containers with seeds in a dark place at a temperature of 18 degrees for at least 10 days, until the first shoots appear.
Step 3
Make sure the temperature is not too high. After two weeks, you will see the first shoots. More sprouts will appear one month after planting the seeds. After three to four weeks, remove the film from the containers and place them in a cool, lit place.
Step 4
Maintain constant soil moisture regularly, do not let it dry out and become waterlogged. If the sprouts are too close to each other, thin out the seedlings and dive them. After a while, transplant the seedlings into fertile soil, in a garden bed, in fresh air.
Step 5
After rooting the bushes in the ground, water them regularly to prevent the soil from drying out. After four to five months, with regular grooming, the strawberries will give you your first harvest. Strawberry bushes will grow - if you notice that they are getting too large, start planting parts of the bushes in the ground separately.
