When to Plant Winter Strawberries
Introduction: This article will discuss the timing for planting winter strawberries and the experience in green plant maintenance regarding the cultivation techniques and management of strawberry planting in greenhouses. Let's explore this topic together.
Strawberries, as part of the Rosaceae family, have been sold in the market for many years. They are usually planted in greenhouses, which not only provide a good yield but also ensure a continuous supply. Below is an introduction to the methods and techniques for planting strawberries in greenhouses.
1. Variety Selection
Generally, strawberry varieties with a shorter dormancy period are the most suitable for planting. These strawberries can continuously absorb nutrients from the soil, allowing the plants to develop rapidly.
2. Cultivating Strong Seedlings
Around August to September, select strong strawberry seedlings and plant them in greenhouses or rectangular plastic pots, ensuring good ventilation and ample water. Strawberry seedlings are very delicate, prefer sunlight, and are susceptible to hot weather. It is necessary to use shade nets to help control the temperature. During this period, attention should be paid to the management of fertilizers and water.
3. Soil Preparation
The soil for planting strawberries should be regularly cultivated and tilled, with manure and compound fertilizers buried. Ridging should be formed with a depth of 30-40 centimeters. In September, as autumn approaches, cover the soil with a layer of black plastic film to control the temperature and humidity of the plants.
4. Growth Management
Control the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse to ensure the healthy growth of the strawberries. Temperature control for strawberries is strict; during the day, it should be maintained around 25℃, and at night, it should be above 12℃. During the fruit growth period, the temperature should be controlled at about 23℃ during the day and above 5℃ at night, with humidity maintained between 60-70%. In the period of rapid fruit growth, strawberries require a large amount of watering to keep the roots and stems moist and the soil wet.
The above information provides a comprehensive explanation of when to plant winter strawberries and the techniques and management of strawberry planting in greenhouses. I hope this helps you.
