Gardening for the beginner: Strawberries Tips 2


New daughter plant on runner


Hello, Did you ever wonder what are those long running stems on you strawberries plants? They are called runners. Your plants are trying to reproduce themselves! At the tip of the runner is another strawberry plant. You can help create another new strawberry plant by covering this tip end with soil and expose only the green leaf part poking thru the soil. The runner will take root and grow into a separate new plant from the mother plant.
