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!
Parents also report good luck with Albion, Eversweet, and AllStart from Hand Picked Nursery.
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.
