scarlet strawberry

Water Scarlet Strawberry plants every 2-3 days. Water the soil until it is evenly moist, making sure not to leave any dry spots or soggy areas. Be careful not to add too much water as it may result in root rot. During periods of hot, dry weather, the strawberry plant may need more frequent watering. When watering, always water the soil evenly to prevent fungi growth in dry patches.

Scarlet strawberry plants require full sun, which equates to a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This can vary depending on the plant's geographic location, climate, and season. In Northern climates, the scarlet strawberry will need 8 to 10 hours of sunlight when it is growing in the summer. When the plant is dormant or in the winter months, it may need less if the winter months are very mild.

Scarlet strawberry should be pruned annually in the late winter, just before the spring growth begins. Pruning should start when the plants have reached about 2 feet in height (starting sized differs with climate and soil conditions). Pruning involves removing dead and old wood, as well as any weak and damaged branches. This will help encourage new growth and better productivity. Removing dead and weak leaves and stems will also help the plant conserve energy and improve air circulation. After pruning, fertilize the plants and water occasionally until the next growing season.
