Balcony potted strawberries: water and fertilize like this for big, sweet strawberries and an endless harvest, batch after batch

Strawberries are a fruit that is very well suited to balcony pots; the berries are attractive and tasty. Actually, during the flowering and fruiting period you do not need to thin the flowers or fruits of strawberries.

What is called fruit thinning should refer to deformed strawberries during growth, poorly pollinated strawberries, and scarred strawberries. If these strawberries are left to grow, they not only look bad but are also unfit to eat, so they must be picked off in time.

The other normal strawberries do not need thinning at all. Just let them grow, pick them, and then let the next batch of strawberries continue to grow.

Apply potassium fertilizer

If you want strawberries to grow well, you must regularly use potassium fertilizer. Applying potassium fertilizer can increase the sweetness of strawberries and make them very sweet. The strawberries we grow at home are often not very sweet and taste sour, and this is because our fertilizer cannot keep up. When growing strawberries, we blindly pursue a pollution-free approach, using no fertilizer or very little fertilizer.

Choose organic fertilizer

Actually, fertilizer is beneficial to plant growth. Not fertilizing will make the vegetables and fruits we grow small and not sweet, affecting their edible quality. When choosing fertilizer, we can choose organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, because chemical fertilizer contains certain chemicals, while organic fertilizer is enough to meet the needs of plant growth, so the plants will grow very well and the fruit will be very sweet.

Light and watering

In the process of growing strawberries, what they need most is sunlight, so you must maintain sufficient light. They also must not lack water. One bout of water shortage will cause the leaves to wilt. If water is lacking many times, some of the leaves will drop off, and this will seriously affect the flowering and fruiting of strawberries.
