Choose the Right Strawberry Variety Opt for everbearing or day-neutral varieties like ‘Albion’ or ‘Seascape,’ which produce fruit continuously throughout the year.
Select the Best Container Use a pot with drainage holes, at least 6-8 inches deep, to provide ample space for root growth and prevent water buildup.
Ensure Adequate Sunlight Strawberries need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If natural light is insufficient, supplement with a grow light.
Use Well-Draining Soil A lightweight, well-draining potting mix enriched with organic compost or perlite helps prevent root rot and supports healthy growth.
Water Properly Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent disease.
Fertilize for Optimal Growth Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to provide essential nutrients and encourage fruiting.
Hand Pollinate for Better Yields Since indoor plants lack natural pollinators, gently brush flowers with a soft paintbrush or shake the plant lightly to aid pollination.
