The bushes of this juicy and sweet berry should be replanted periodically.

If the plant stays in one place for too long, the soil will become depleted, a deficiency of nutrients will begin, which means that fruiting will deteriorate every year.

It is advisable to replant strawberries every three years, but only if the crop has been well cared for before.

It is better to carry out the procedure in spring. But everything depends on the weather. The soil should warm up to 10 degrees. It should be taken into account that the berry may not survive even light frosts.

But it is worth noting that there are also advantages to transplanting in the spring. At this time, young garden strawberries will have time to take root and develop a good root system, which means that fruits can already be obtained in the same year, if you remember about proper care.

As for suitable methods of transplantation, in the spring months it is best to do this by dividing the bush or planting seedlings. At such a time, it will not be possible to propagate bushes from runners. If you want to use the latter method, you will have to wait until summer.
