Spanish Strawberry

Here are some quick tips for taking care of your Spanish Strawberry Plant (Fragaria vesca):

1. Sunlight: Place in full sun for at least 6 hours a day for the best fruit production.

2. Soil: Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Loamy or sandy soil works best.

3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water at the base to avoid wetting the leaves, which can cause fungal issues.

4. Temperature: Prefers cooler temperatures, between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect from extreme heat or frost.

5. Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer, avoiding high nitrogen which promotes leaves over fruit.

6. Pruning: Trim dead leaves and runners to keep the plant healthy and encourage better fruiting.

7. Mulching: Use mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the roots cool.

8. Harvesting: Pick ripe berries when they are fully colored and slightly soft. Regular harvesting encourages more fruit.

These tips will help your Spanish strawberry plant grow healthy and produce delicious fruit!
