Cultivation and care

While ordinary strawberries or strawberries have practically no problems with breeding and replacing old bushes, because they are always at hand, bezusny strawberries need to be grown from seeds. And this is not for everyone.
The problem is that the strawberry seeds are very small. If you sow them in the holes and wrap them with a layer of earth, as is usually done with other cultures, then you are unlikely to see seedlings.
Anyone who finds this method very difficult can split the old bush and plant the pieces separately. Often this is how strawberry remontosusa propagates. Gardeners describe the best varieties as hardy and fruitful. Removable strawberries are more demanding on growing conditions, soil structure, and temperature conditions. It grows well on sandy loam and loam. It reacts positively to humus in the soil.
Sowing
Before sowing, the seeds are mixed with sand. Prepare dishes, fill it with soil, water it. Then evenly (sand helps this) sow seeds throughout the territory. They cover the boxes with a film so that the soil does not dry out, and the water, evaporating, creates the desired moisture above the soil and where the seeds are. After 3 real leaves appear at the seedlings, they dive, and at six - they plant them on the garden bed. All this time they make sure that the soil does not dry out. But it is impossible to fill it.
Experts do not advise to sow seeds early. You need to do this in late March or early April. Indeed, in indoor conditions, without additional light sources, the seedlings will “sit still” until they plant it in the garden. In May, they take out to a balcony or a sunny place for hardening.
Then you need to make sure that it does not dry out. For this, seedlings are watered and mulched.
Planting
The soil for strawberries is prepared in advance. Fertilize, lime. Do not plant after tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes. It grows well after onions, carrots.
The recommended width of the beds is 1.2 m, in the row - 30 cm. The rows are located at a distance of 40 cm from each other. Next year, the bushes will grow and will cover almost the entire territory. They will be easy to care for.
Planted at a time when the sun does not fall on the leaves. Ash, superphosphate (1 tbsp.) Or one of the chemical fertilizers (at the indicated rate) are added to the wells. Sprinkle fertilizer with soil, then it will not burn the roots of the plant. Pour 1.5 liters of water, level the roots. Sprinkle with earth so that the growth point remains on top.
The bushes adapt for a week, but soon begin to produce young leaves. In September they give weak berries. This will allow the gardener to taste the variety. But the bush will give the main crop only from next year.
Each of the leaves lives 2 months. Then you need to remove it.
Reviews gardeners are not advised to do this too early in the spring. Otherwise, young leaves can damage spring frosts.
Fertilizer
Strawberries need nitrogen fertilizer. But if their number is excessive, then the bush will please the owners more with beautiful bright leaves than berries. Flower buds then form longer.
A lack of nitrogen leads to a slowdown in leaf growth, they become pale, the number of peduncles decreases sharply.
Nitrogen fertilizers are applied in two stages, before the appearance of peduncles.
Then make potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. Ash can serve as a source of potassium. It is applied under watering or in wet weather, closer to winter. After all, potassium helps plants to endure winter without loss.
Remontant strawberries need boron to ensure continuous fruiting.

Harvesting
Experts do not recommend picking half-ripe berries. Let them hang on the bush, grow up and be tastier. But if you come to harvest once a week, then you should not leave them.
Seed collection
The best varieties of wild strawberry with a repair bezus are often propagated by seeds.
You can buy them. But the quality and quantity of seeds sold is constantly deteriorating. Therefore, the varieties that you have when replacing plants are best grown from your seeds. For this, the berries selected for sowing are dried in the sun and manually sorted.
Reviews gardeners are advised to stretch the berries in the water, wait until the seeds settle to the bottom. At this time, the soil is prepared, water with contents is poured onto it, covered with a film and left for germination.
If young plants have time to grow up to 6 leaves, they are planted in a permanent place. If you do not have time, you can plant a lump of land with all the plants together, shelter from frost and continue growing in the spring.

It also requires regular top dressing of strawberry remontantless mustache. The best varieties bear fruit for a long time. They use a large number of nutrients, giving them to the berries. Therefore, the stock must be replenished. 15 g of nitrogen, 4 g of phosphorus and 18 g of potassium are added per 1 m 2 . And this is only to restore the spent substances.
The bush grows in one place up to 4 years. Then it grows to the sides, the central part disappears, the berries hardly grow. Growing it further makes no sense. You can dig a bush from the ground, divide it into several young ones and plant them. Often this is exactly how the reproductive bezusny strawberry propagates.
