strawberry

Home garden recommendation (★★★)

Rose subjects Rosaceae strawberry genus
(Place of origin: mating wild species from South America and North America in the Netherlands)

Suitable temperature for germination 20-25 ℃

Sunlight conditions Sufficient sunshine is required

Suitable temperature for growth 12-30 ℃

Consecutive failure Yes

Watering Because it is vulnerable to drying, the surface of the soil does not dry (soil cultivation)

Additional fertilizer timing Note that excessive fertilization will be harmful. Every 3 weeks

Growth considerations

Don't fill the crown (the part where the strawberry sprout appears) when planting the buds. Planting so that the center of the crown is the boundary of the soil

Note that the roots of the cocoons grow shallow and are vulnerable to heat and dryness.

If the leaves turn yellow, red, or black, there may be a lack of potassium, nitrogen, calcium, or magnesium.

Note that if the fertilizer concentration is high, it will weaken, and the tip of the leaf will be black, which is a symptom of chip burn caused by calcium deficiency.

(Chipburn is a phenomenon that occurs even in excessive nitrogen and high dry temperatures, so when the leaf tips turn black, it is better to investigate the cause first)

Days from sowing to harvesting Measuring (without hydroponic air pump)

Crop yield Measuring (no hydroponic air pump)

In order for the cocoons to bear fruit, it is necessary that the sunshine time is 11 hours or less at 5 ° C or less.

Because the parent strain becomes small after 2 to 3 years, it is recommended to grow and circulate shoots made from liners every year

When harvesting fruits, pick out the flowers from the cold season and cut them off when the liner is stretched

The 2nd and 3rd shoots are good for taking stock from the liner.

Select x to cut off old leaves from spring to autumn. In winter, leave about 3 to 4 leaves to overwinter (don't freeze the roots at this time)

The sugar content of the fruit becomes sweeter as the leaf area per grain increases. When there are too many fruits, pick them.

What you want to try in the future.

I want to compare the difference in taste when grown from seedlings and seeds.

I would like to compare the difference in the yield of the hydroponic air pump type and whether it can be overwintered.
