Sweet Red Strawberry Seeds 300pcs for Home Garden Planting

PLANTING STRAWBERRY SEEDS:
In spring, sow seeds 1 inch apart and 1/8 inch deep in a container of fine seed starting mix.

Maintain at 60 – 70° and provide a strong light source. Keep evenly moist but not soggy.

Be patient, seeds can take 14 to 28 days to germinate. Feed young seedlings every 2 weeks with half-strength fertilizer.

When they have several sets of leaves, transplant 3 inches apart into a deeper container or individual pots so root systems have room to develop.

When 3 inches tall, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions and plant 12 inches apart in fertile soil in full sun or partial shade in very hot climates.

TRANSPLANTING STRAWBERRY SEEDLINGS:
Once the young strawberry seedlings are 2-3” tall, and the last spring frosts have past, it’s time to think about planting them in the garden.

Strawberry seedlings are delicate, and they’re accustomed to the consistent light and temperatures in their indoor growing area. It’s important to harden off the seedlings by exposing them to the outdoors before planting.

Once the seedlings are hardened off, transplant them to a prepared garden bed with rich soil, spacing about 6 to 8 inches apart for alpine varieties and 8 to 12 inches apart for regular strawberries.

Strawberries are low-growing herbaceous plants with a fibrous root system and a crown from which arise basal leaves.
The leaves are compound, typically with three leaflets, sawtooth-edged, and usually hairy.
The flowers, generally white, rarely reddish, are borne in small clusters on slender stalks arising, like the surface-creeping stems, from the axils of the leaves.
The flesh consists of the greatly enlarged flower receptacle and is embedded with the many true fruits, or achenes, which are popularly called seeds.
The fruits are rich in vitamin C and are commonly eaten fresh as a dessert fruit, are used as a pastry or pie filling, and may be preserved in many ways.
