1. How do you plant the seeds picked off a strawberry?

First, check whether the strawberry seeds are plump and ripe. Press a seed with your fingernail; if there is a white solid inside, it is a mature seed, but if it is hollow or liquid inside, it cannot be used. Then, soak the seeds in warm water for 8-12 hours, and once they have swollen, scatter them on the surface of the soil in a flower pot, covering them with a layer of fine sandy soil about 0.2 cm thick. Finally, place the pot in a shallow water basin, and once the water has slowly seeped through and moistened the soil in the pot, take it out and wait for germination.
