Growing instructions
Cold Stratification: Place the seeds in the refrigerator for 4 weeks before planting. You can put them in a sealed plastic bag with some moistened vermiculite or sand.
Preparing the Soil: Select a sunny location for planting your strawberries. The soil should be well-draining, rich in organic matter, and slightly acidic (pH between 5.5 and 6.8). Remove any weeds, rocks, or debris from the area. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage.
Sowing the Seeds: Start indoors or directly sow the seeds outdoors, depending on your climate and the time of year. If starting indoors, sow the seeds in seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix. Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch, covering them lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination: Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C). The germination process usually takes 2-6 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, provide them with ample light to promote healthy growth. Consider using a grow light if natural light is insufficient.
Transplanting: When the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden or larger containers. Space the plants 12-18 inches apart, ensuring good air circulation between them.
Outdoor Care: Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as strawberries are susceptible to root rot. Mulching around the plants with straw or shredded leaves helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the fruit from direct contact with the soil.
Fertilization: Feed the plants with a balanced organic fertilizer or a strawberry-specific fertilizer according to the package instructions. Apply the fertilizer in early spring and again after the first harvest to sustain healthy growth and fruit production.
Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pests like slugs, snails, and birds, which may damage the fruit. Use organic pest control methods such as handpicking or placing protective netting over the plants. Monitor the plants for any signs of diseases like powdery mildew or gray mold, and promptly address them with appropriate treatments.
Pruning and Runners: Remove any runners (long stems extending from the main plant) to divert energy toward fruit production. Prune off yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and allow better air circulation.
Harvesting: The Mount Everest strawberry plants typically start producing fruit 4-6 weeks after flowering. Harvest the ripe strawberries by gently twisting or cutting them from the stem. Enjoy the freshly picked strawberries immediately or use them in a variety of culinary delights.
Follow these growing instructions, and soon you'll be enjoying the succulent and flavorful strawberries produced by your own Mount Everest Strawberry plants. Happy gardening!
Why are my strawberry seeds not germinating?
Too much or too little water is the most likely reason for seeds not germinating. With too little or no water, seeds remain dormant. With too much water, seeds become susceptible to rot or infection from soil-borne fungi (also referred to as "dampening off")Most strawberry seeds require cold stratification to germinate, and they won't break dormancy until they've gone through winter-like conditions.
Strawberries need light to germinate, Place the tray under grow lights, . Allow several weeks for germination. Be patient: seeds may germinate anywhere from 7 days to 6 weeks.
