Did you know that you can grow luscious 🍓strawberries indoors?
To grow strawberries indoors:
Choose "day-neutral" varieties of 🍓strawberry plants.
💡Please provide them with grow lights.
Plant them in the indoor Tower Garden (available on MSS!)...or...
Plant them in a small pot with rich potting mix & water regularly, and use a slow-release fertilizer.
🐝Be the bee! Hand-pollinate the flowers!
Keep a 🌬️fan on them to encourage pollination.
Day Neutral Bare Root Strawberry Plants
Day-neutral strawberries are a type of strawberry that can flower and produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, regardless of day length. They are more productive than June-bearing strawberries.
I have had good luck with "Albion" and "Seascape" strawberry plants indoors. Scenic Hill Farm in Oregon has strong bare-root plants at a very good price!
No puny fruits! Be sure to hand pollinate!
To hand pollinate strawberries for bigger fruits, gently brush the pollen from the male part (anthers) of a strawberry flower onto the female part (stigma) using a small, soft paintbrush, ensuring each stigma receives pollen evenly, which will result in more fully developed and larger berries; this is especially important when growing strawberries indoors.
