Growing vegetables at home: detailed steps and precautions for growing strawberries!

The day before yesterday, I shared a lot of videos of strawberries from the picking garden being medicated at night and sold during the day:

"Brother Word, I almost peed after watching this! Never pick strawberries again! "

After that, many vegetable friends consult the specific methods of growing strawberries on the balcony, and they will sort them out and share them with you today.

It's almost time to pick strawberries in spring. If you like strawberries, you can plant some at home and experience the fun of picking green and safe strawberries.

Here are the specific planting methods.

▼

[judge whether your environment is suitable for planting]

1. Temperature: the optimum temperature is 15-30 ℃ (slightly higher or lower can be planted, but below 0 ℃ or higher than 40 ℃, the flowering and fruiting of strawberries will be seriously affected)

2. Lighting: like light, south-facing balcony, balcony and roof can be planted (east-west balcony can be planted reluctantly)

Remarks:

1. Strawberries grown in farmland are affected by seasons. Strawberries planted at home can be planted all year round as long as the temperature and light meet the conditions.

2, when the light is insufficient, it can also be made up by plant growth lights (Taobao and other online shopping platforms can be found).

3. Humidity: it is not resistant to dryness or moisture, so keep the soil from drought.

[some preparatory work you need to do before planting]

1. Strawberry seedlings (or seeds)

2. Planting container (suitable depth is about 20 cm)

3. Rich and nutritious soil with loose and permeable water

4. Shovel, spray can.

Note:

1. Planting container: it is OK for the container to be deeper (it is better to have a drain hole at the bottom)

2. Nutritious soil: you can directly buy nutritious soil suitable for growing strawberries online (some will mix well with base fertilizer), or you can match it yourself. The nutritious soil should be disinfected before sowing to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

For example, the nutrient soil made by mixing organic fertilizer, coconut brick and coarse vermiculite at 1:1:1 in volume, fluffy and rich in organic matter, is more suitable for growing strawberries on the balcony. I myself once dug up some strawberries by the river in my hometown because of improper selection of soil (and there was no soil disinfection). As a result, 80% of the strawberries were fed to snails.

3, common diseases and insect pests: there may be powdery mildew, gray mold, nematodes and other diseases and insect pests (generally low probability). If there are diseases and insect pests, you can check whether they are caused by these insect pests, and then have targeted solutions.

4. Commonly selected varieties: generally, the varieties that are more planted are milk strawberries, Mibao, Baojiao, Dana, Zhang Ji and so on. You can consult the seller about the varieties suitable for local planting.

5. It is recommended to choose the strawberry seedlings of the second year, when the strawberry fruit rate is the highest. in addition, you can buy a few more varieties and compare which strawberries are more suitable for your taste.

[planting mode]

There are two ways: 1, strawberry seeds 2, strawberry seedlings

On the one hand, strawberry seeds sometimes need to sprout for a long time (about 25 days); on the other hand, strawberry plants can propagate asexually through rhizomes (that is, take part of strawberry roots or stems and transplant directly to grow new plants).

So the beast suggests that when planting for the first time, you can buy a few strawberry seedlings through the flower market, strawberry orchard (you can ask the boss to send one or two strawberries when picking strawberries), online store and so on, and then there is no need to buy them.

Then plant it in the pit, cover it with earth and flatten it, then pour it thoroughly with water, put it in the shade for 2-3 days (no sun exposure at this time), and wait for the plant to come alive and put it in a place with good light to prevent overgrowth.

Note:

1. If the temperature is low, it can be covered with film for heat preservation and moisturizing.

2. After planting, water frequently and keep the soil moist. The soil should not be too dry or too wet (it should be watered in the morning or evening).

Every half a month, you can apply organic fertilizer once according to the actual situation (the concentration is not too high, you can make some organic nitrogen fertilizer)

This paper introduces three common production methods of household organic fertilizer: "shared by experts: no composting, no peculiar smell, the simplest three household organic fertilizer production methods." "

Note:

1. Some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in the long seedling stage, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied in the flowering and fruiting stage.

2. If the concentration of self-made organic nitrogen fertilizer is relatively high, it can be diluted and then poured.

In the process of growth, it is found that the yellowed old leaves can be removed in time (if in winter, the yellow leaves can be retained until the new leaves grow in the spring next year, and then the dead yellow leaves can be removed)

During the flowering and fruiting period, the stolons are removed in time, and the cut stolons can be directly replanted and grow into new plants.

After blooming for a period of time, the flowers slowly wither and then begin to bear fruit. During this period, the flowerpot should be placed in a place with plenty of light, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied properly to improve the quality of the fruit.

Note: during flowering, if your balcony or rooftop is not well ventilated, you can carry out artificial pollination (strawberries are hermaphroditic, that is, there are both female and male flowers in a flower. Just use a cotton swab to make a circle on the strawberry flower.

About 30 days after flowering, the fruit can be harvested after turning red (preferably in the morning).

Note: the whole plant can be harvested directly, or it can be harvested from a distance from the root (so it can be harvested continuously like leek).

[special reminder]

1. Strawberries are perennials. Some strawberry varieties can blossom and bear fruit many times in a year. When purchasing, you can ask the merchant to make a choice.

2. Strawberries can be picked when they turn red. Do not pull strawberries off when picking, but cut short or cut off the stalks of strawberries.

3. Strawberries generally have a three-year harvest cycle. Only less strawberries can be harvested in the first year, and a lot will be harvested in the second year, but after the third or third year, the yield of strawberries will decline significantly and the plants need to be replaced.

4. in order to make the strawberry plant produce more strawberries in the second year, some vegetable friends will pick off the flowers after the annual strawberries bloom, not let them bear strawberries, but only let them grow more leaves (in order to eat strawberries as soon as possible, you can harvest it in the first year).

[the vegetable friend said]

Q: beast, I have planted strawberries before, but the fruits often rot. What's the matter?

Answer: strawberry fruit is easy to rot if it is often splashed with water. You can think about whether there is a problem in this respect. Sometimes it is caused by insect pests. You can check to see if there are any insect pests. After the result, you can spread some hay or other things at the bottom of the plant to prevent strawberries from coming into contact with the soil to rot; you can also make some natural pesticides to spray the soil: "20 kinds of homemade pure natural insecticides: easy to use, no pollution, balcony growing flowers and vegetables do not ask for help."
