How to Grow Strawberries Indoors for Delicious Fruit All Year

Choose the Right Strawberry Variety Opt for everbearing or day-neutral varieties like Albion, Seascape, or Quinault, which produce fruit continuously.

Select a Suitable Container Use hanging baskets, pots, or vertical planters with drainage holes to prevent root rot and maximize space.

Use Well-Draining Soil A light, well-draining potting mix with added perlite or sand ensures healthy root growth and prevents waterlogging.

Provide Plenty of Light Strawberries need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight or 12-16 hours under a grow light for optimal growth.

Maintain Ideal Temperature & Humidity Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) with moderate humidity to encourage continuous fruiting.

Water Consistently but Avoid Overwatering Keep the soil moist but not soggy; watering deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry is ideal.

Fertilize Regularly Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, switching to a phosphorus-rich blend during flowering for better fruit production.

Pollinate the Flowers Manually Since indoor plants lack natural pollinators, use a small brush or your fingertip to transfer pollen between flowers.
