How to grow remontant strawberries on a balcony
1
No summer resident is surprised that on the plot it is possible successfully grow many berries, which previously had to go to the forest. Those who do not have a summer house, but have a balcony, can try to grow a small strawberry meadow right on the sunny windowsill.
When to start
You should start right now, at the beginning of June. Repairing strawberry varieties are good because they will bear fruit until autumn.
Strawberry seeds are planted in pots and the bushes will grow quickly enough, especially if the balcony or loggia is glazed and insulated.
When the bushes appear and flowers, you will have to really work for bees and other pollinators.
There is nothing complicated about it. You can take a thin brush for painting and walk one by one over the flowers that have bloomed, lightly tickling the pistils and stamens.
How to plant
It is best to take a large pot for one promising bush – up to 5 liters, so that you don't have to mess with the transplant later.
The fact is that an adult seedling can grow well and let lush green mass. He will not have enough space or food in a small pot.
Soil
It is best to buy ready-made soil for seedlings in a store. In order not to have trouble, add 1 tsp. l. mycorrhizae.
