FAQs
When is the best time to plant Strawberry Buddy bare roots?
The ideal time to plant is in early spring as soon as the ground is workable and the risk of severe frost has passed.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, these plants are highly suitable for containers and hanging baskets, provided the pots have drainage holes.
How deep should I plant the crown?
The crown must sit exactly at soil level. It should not be buried under soil, nor should the roots be exposed.
Do I need to protect these from frost?
While the plants are hardy, newly planted bare roots should be protected from late-season hard frosts using horticultural fleece.
How often should I water them?
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In hot, dry summer weather, check containers daily as they dry out faster than open ground.
What soil type is best?
A free-draining, fertile soil or a good quality multi-purpose compost is ideal for these strawberries.
Troubleshooting
Roots appear dry upon arrival
Soak the root system in tepid water for 1-2 hours before planting to rehydrate the tissues.
Plants are not producing fruit
Ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and provide a high-potash fertilizer.
Leaves turning yellow
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage; check that your containers have adequate drainage holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your bare roots, unpack them immediately. If you cannot plant them right away, keep them cool and slightly moist in a dark, airy place. When ready, soak the roots in a bucket of water for about 30 minutes before planting. Dig a hole deep enough for the roots to hang vertically without bending. The crown—the point where the roots meet the stem—should be positioned exactly at the soil surface level; burying it too deep can cause rot, while leaving it too high can cause the roots to dry out. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once flowering begins to maximize your yield.
