Plant Care Instructions: - Planting: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil of at least 30% sand and 70% soil with the crowns just above the soil surface. Planting them too deep will cause the crown to rot. *If it is over 85 degrees or freezing where you live currently, start these indoors for the first two weeks and then acclimate them to outdoor conditions for the period of a week. Then you can begin to plant outdoors! - Sunlight: Requires full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day to maximize fruit production. - Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Strawberries need about 1 inch of water per week. - Soil: Prefers loamy, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5). Add organic matter or compost to enrich the soil and improve drainage. - Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer during planting and lightly again after each harvest to promote vigorous growth. - Mulching: Add mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the berries clean.
