Propagation of strawberries using runners is one of the most popular methods.
Special tools will help increase the chances of success and speed up this process.
But you can't rely only on rooting compounds. You also need to choose the right planting material. Otherwise, even the most effective remedy won't help.
To create a new strawberry bush, you need to take a young rosette with 2-3 leaves. This part is separated from the adult plant and then placed in water.
Experts advise avoiding shoots that have darkened or dried out. They do not guarantee 100% rooting, so it is not the quantity that is important, but the quality.
Do not put the strawberry runners too deep in water. It is enough to moisten only the fragment where the roots should sprout.
To speed up the process, you can use one of the stimulants. The result will be noticeable in a few days. The following are suitable for rooting strawberries:
- "Epin Extra";
- "Kornevin";
- heterouaxin (indoleacetic acid);
- succinic acid.
After young roots appear, strawberries can be planted in a garden bed or in a container specially prepared for this purpose.
