Can strawberrys be planted in a hanging basket or do you have to get a specific type of strawberry plant?
Question:
Answers:
There are no special plants that you need.
Growing strawberries in a hanging basket or container keeps them out of the way from slugs. Hang the basket near the kitchen window to ensure a plentiful supply of delicious, fresh fruit.
Plant five to six plants in a hanging basket in spring.
Water each day during the growing season.
From flowering until harvest, feed every ten days with a good organic fertilizer or use Osmocote slow release when you plant, to feed for the whole season.
you can but they must be non-virtigo strawberries!!

Plant them in what you like as long as the container is big enough to support the plant.Most strawberry plants are runners separated from the parent plant . They will need a year to establish themselves before flowering and fruiting.They will have runners. Remove these if not required for propagation as they will weaken the parent plant.The second and third years are the best for fruit production.In the third year separate and grow on some of he runners to replace some of the fruiting plants now past their prime.
you can plant strawberry's in the hanging basket it will look very pretty and at the same time you will have lovely fruit too . but don't forget to put net over the basket so the birds don't eat your strawberry's. happy gardening .
if you realy want to grow strawberries this is how you do it. you buy certified plants, that is plants that have never grown strawberries you plant them 1 year later they flower you pick every flower off so they dont produce fruit., you take runners off of these plants in september and plant those.The second year you pick the strawberries off of the plants you first planted.The strawberries will be bigger and better.and yes you can grow them off of the ground in hanging baskets.
me and my mom put it in a strawberry pot on the ground and it spread alot so i guess it doesnt matter where u put it, but the best place would be the ground.put a little fence around it like a tomato fence so the rabbits and chipmunks dont eat them
