This plant thrives when grown in rich, evenly moist, well-drained potting soil and full sun.

If you want to grow it in the ground rather than in containers, it is best planted in early spring. Do not plant it where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted the previous year. There is a disease that sometimes attacks these plants that will also attack strawberries.

When planting, make sure that the roots are spread apart, and not tightly packed in a small hole. Because strawberries have shallow roots, they should be fertilized during the growing season.
