Garden strawberries can indeed be grown on a windowsill, despite the fact that such a process requires effort.
First of all, it is important to choose the right variety and create optimal conditions for growth.
Let us dwell on the main criteria for selecting varieties that are more suitable for growing in apartment conditions.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and the scientist-gronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to choose the right variety for growing strawberries
Here are 5 criteria.
- Duration of fruiting. Usually, day-neutral strawberries are chosen, which bear fruit almost continuously.
- Growing conditions requirements. Choose a less capricious variety – resistance to humidity, lack of light and temperature changes.
- Bush size. It is clear that we need a "compact bush".
- No whiskers. There is less trouble with such varieties.
- Self-pollination. Indoor strawberries should not need pollinators.
Suitable names are "Queen Elizabeth II", "Baron Solenhamer", "Brighton", "Geneva", "Coquette", "Lyubava", "Aisha" and so on.
