You Can Grow Strawberries in Pots.

If you’re short on space, the good news is that you can grow strawberries in pots, planters, or even window boxes. You’ll want to select a day-neutral variety, which produces berries over a long season. Be sure to choose a container that’s at least 12 inches in diameter and includes drainage holes. A 1:1 blend of potting mix and compost works best for strawberries, and you’ll want to place no more than 3 strawberry plants in a 12-inch diameter container to ensure they have room to grow. Keep the soil lightly moist and provide a liquid organic fertilizer once a month during the growing season for best results!
