Propagating Strawberry Plants
Hi, Everybody,
Yes, I tried a Google search, but a couple of things weren't clear. Right now, it is mid-summer in this part of the world. I have seven strawberry plants, with good pollination, plenty of green fruits at the moment, and a small but steady supply of yummy fruits. I looked up the idea of harvesting strawberry seeds, and it seems that people prefer to put the fruit in a blender(?) This was a surprise for me. I had *thought* that the seeds were those small green bits all over the outside of the fruit(?) So I had thought about using tweezers to pull those off. But maybe that was mistaken? The other option is to use runners. I have some hanging stems (coming out from the middle), with a few leaves plus flowers and fruits. But I don't see any starting of roots on these. Do the runners need to slouch down and get in contact with some soil before they put out roots? Also, could anybody explain how to deal with new plants (from runners) over the winter? Keep them inside maybe? Thanks for all of your advice... -- Get Credit Where Credit Is Due http://www.cardreport.com/ Credit Tools, Reference, and Forum |
