Before planting the strawberries, soak the root for about an hour or two but not longer, and then plant them right away. Planting strawberries in containersGrowing strawberries in containers or pots is easy to do, even if you don’t have much outdoor space. Just feed and water your container-growing strawberry plants regularly and enjoy strawberries throughout the year. FertilisationThe strawberry plant is shallow-rooted and requires fertilisation during the growing season to keep it vigorous. They should be hand pulled but care must be taken into not damaging the shallow roots of the strawberry plant.
