Strawberries are one of the most popular garden crops.
Juicy and sweet berries are loved by children and adults.
Therefore, in order to get an excellent harvest year after year, you need to remember some growing rules that must be followed. After all, beginners in gardening can make mistakes when growing, which leads to a decrease in fruiting.
Soil acidity
This berry prefers slightly acidic or neutral soil. The optimal pH is 2.3-5.6.
Excess nitrogen
In this case, the green mass will grow actively, but the harvest will be meager.
Cold weather
It is important to ensure that the beds do not freeze.
This plant does not tolerate low temperatures. Although young shoots are resistant to cold, flowers can hardly survive them.
Severe frosts can lead to the death of the root system.
Light
Strawberries are a light-loving crop that simply will not form ovaries if planted in the shade.
Pests
Periodically, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatments against flower weevils and other parasites.
