Potted strawberries need water throughout the root ball, but frequent small splashes can leave part of the compost dry and part soggy. Check drainage and pot weight, especially while flowers and fruit are developing.
I'm afraid of the water, so I pour a little bit a little every day
Water is a wet soil but often watering (watering every day), so that the pot soil does not dry for a long time, which can easily lead to rotten seedlings. Some people will only pour a little water each time, which will make the upper layer of the pot soil moist. However, the bottom soil of the pot soil is still dry. Don't go.
The correct method is: each watering must be poured through, the pot soil is dry and then watering, and it is very effective to water with the potting method.
Afraid of seedlings, so spray water every day
When the planting was first planted, many people liked to spray water on the leaves with a watering pot. They were afraid that the leaves would be ravaged. Some people even sprayed water every day after slowing the seedlings. As a result, Miao Xin was darkened. High -temperature spraying water to the leaves can easily cause strawberry anthracnose. Speaking of leaves will also cause it to be lazy to absorb water from the soil, which is not conducive to the development of new roots.
Water and leaves are poured together during watering
Water potted strawberries at the growing medium and check that the root ball is wetted without remaining saturated. If leaves or fruit develop damage, investigate the cause rather than assuming that one watering mistake proves a specific disease.
