Why don't strawberries bloom or bear fruit?

Strawberries find a place on the plots of many summer residents who value the berry for its taste and usefulness. It is not surprising that if the plant does not bloom, then there is no harvest from it.

There are several reasons why strawberries do not bloom. One of them is late planting. It is optimal to plant strawberries in late July – early August.

It is important not only to plant the plant in the ground, but also to choose the right depth. The crop has a so-called “heart”, which cannot be covered with earth, because it is responsible for flowering.

When applying fertilizers, you need to follow the dosage and try not to overdo it. A large amount of nitrogen leads to the fact that strawberries begin to “chew” and refuse to bloom.

It happens that instead of a garden strawberry, a weed-like variety of strawberry occurs, which will never bloom, but will quickly take over the plot.

The absence of flowers may indicate the degeneration of a remontant strawberry. In this case, you will have to remove old bushes and plant new ones.

The lack of sunlight affects the future strawberry harvest. Excessive shading can lead to the fact that strawberries will not bloom.
