How to Plant Bare Root Strawberry Plants Step 1: Check Outdoor Temperatures If your outdoor temperatures are above 85°F or below 32°F, start your strawberries indoors for the first two weeks. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions over the course of a week before planting them outside. Step 2: Proper Soil Well-draining soil is extremely important! We recommend mixing at least 30% sand into a high-quality base soil. Step 3: Starting Indoors (if needed) In a cup or pot, plant your strawberry so that the soil reaches the base of the crown. The crown begins where the roots meet the upper portion of the plant. Burying the crown can significantly increase the risk of suffocating the plant. Firmly press the soil down around the edges of the cup or pot to encourage water runoff, and water gently. Place the pot in a sunny window and water every 3-4 days, or whenever the top 1/2 inch of soil feels dry. Step 4: Planting Outdoors Plant your strawberries in raised rows or mounds. As explained in Step 3, be careful not to bury the crown. Generally, strawberries should be planted 12–18 inches apart, with rows spaced 3–4 feet apart. Enjoy Homegrown Strawberries!
