  1. Duration of fruiting. Usually, day-neutral strawberries are chosen, which bear fruit almost continuously.
  2. Growing conditions requirements. Choose a less capricious variety – resistance to humidity, lack of light and temperature changes.
  3. Bush size. It is clear that we need a "compact bush".
  4. No whiskers. There is less trouble with such varieties.
  5. Self-pollination. Indoor strawberries should not need pollinators.

Suitable names are "Queen Elizabeth II", "Baron Solenhamer", "Brighton", "Geneva", "Coquette", "Lyubava", "Aisha" and so on.
