Strawberry Runners
Question:
I have a strawberry barrel.? Can I pot on the runners which appear to have small roots and do I leave them attached to the main plant until established?
Answer:
Yes you can pot on the strawberry runners as long as they have rooted. Just detach from the mother plant and put in small pots with a good quality potting compost. Give them a good watering to get them going. They should be OK outside in a sheltered spot but if you have a cold greenhouse that would be good too.
