4. Potted or Not
Strawberries are one of the types of berry plants that you don’t need to provide a structure for; certain types of blackberries, for example, will prefer to trail along a structure like a trellis for their growth – or at least prefer to be lifted a little off the ground to attach to whatever structure you give them.
Strawberries on the other hand will grow quite happily in pots or directly in the ground, and they can even be transplanted from pots into the ground if you’ve used pots to start their growth phase but have your garden a little better planned out later on in the process.
If you want to grow strawberries in pots, ensure that there’s enough space for the plant to thrive – sure, it’s small now, but it will increase in size and a too-small pot can choke root growth.
Also, ensure the pot has access to enough sunlight (up to six hours), and that water is able to drain through the soil.
