Choosing the Right Vertical Container – Use stackable planters, hanging baskets, or wall-mounted pockets. – Make sure the container has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Selecting the Best Strawberry Varieties – Everbearing and day-neutral strawberries work best for vertical gardening. – Popular varieties include ‘Albion,’ ‘Seascape,’ and ‘Tristar.’
Preparing the Soil for Healthy Growth – Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. – A mix of peat moss, perlite, and compost ensures strong root development.
Planting & Arranging for Maximum Yield – Space plants about 8 inches apart to allow proper airflow. – Position the plants so they can cascade naturally down the container.
Watering & Feeding for Lush Growth – Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. – Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks for optimal fruit production.
Harvesting & Maintenance Tips – Pick ripe strawberries regularly to encourage more fruiting. – Remove dead leaves and runners to keep the plants healthy and productive.
