Why strawberries don't bloom: reasons that are important to consider

Many summer residents grow red juicy berries on their plots – strawberries. They make delicious preserves and healthy desserts.

However, for some reasons, not everyone's strawberries bloom.

An expert of the MOS SMI portal, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you about the reasons for the lack of flowering.

Improper care

Strawberries do not like to be in the shade, in heavy and clayey soil. This may not have the best effect on their flowering.

Optimal conditions are a sunny place with fertile soil.

Insufficient watering

Lack of water can also cause the problem. With this in mind, it is important to keep the soil moist.

Lack of supplementary feeding

Strawberries, like other plants, need fertilizers. Fertilizing them makes them stronger, bigger and tastier.

Wrong strawberry variety selected

Before buying seedlings, it is important to carefully study the varieties of berries. Some grow well in cool places, while others, on the contrary, love the sun.

Choose a variety based on your living conditions – then you will be one step closer to what you want.

Plant age

If the seedlings are less than a year old, then you can’t expect flowering – it begins in the second year after planting.

Diseases

Fungal and other diseases can slow down the flowering of strawberries. In addition, diseases can completely destroy the plant.

In this case, it is important to use special medications and consult a specialist.
