Strawberries are grown in the form of a carpet, rows, nests, in addition to many different original options. Everyone chooses their own way depending on the area of ​​the site and its design.
Watering strawberries, like any other garden crop, should be in compliance with all the necessary recommendations. During the fruiting period, including the ripening of the fruits, the amount of moisture should be sufficient for the harvest to be a decent amount, and the berries are tasty and aromatic. If you neglect watering, or water little and not enough, then the strawberries can dry out. With excessive moisture, the berries can rot.
Speaking of pruning strawberries, most often it is the removal of leaves on fertile bushes that is meant. This is done to partially rejuvenate the plant, to get rid of damaged, diseased leaves, to prevent bacterial and fungal infections, to reduce the number of harmful insects.

Site selection and soil preparation

Large-fruited varieties prefer to grow in well-lit areas, so avoid shading with other trees and shrubs. Take advantage of a few more tips from experts in choosing a landing site:

  • give preference to flat areas;

  • Juan will grow best if planted in loam, sod-podzolic soil, light loam, black soil;

  • the soil must be water and air permeable, with neutral acidity in the composition;

  • choose a cloudy day for planting.

Consider the planting process.

  1. Prepare the soil. To do this, add three buckets of humus for each square meter.

  2. Dig the ridge to a depth of 50 cm and level it.

  3. Dig small holes, fill them with peat and moisten.

  4. Spread the roots of the seedling, and plant it in the hole, cover it with a substrate, tamp the planting site a little.

  5. Water the young sprout liberally and add a layer of mulch. For this, peat, sawdust, spruce branches are suitable.

  6. Follow the 60x60 cm planting pattern between the bushes.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

Pollination

The Juan variety adapts well to unfavorable conditions, so it does not need to be grown in a greenhouse. This means that no artificial pollination is required, as the plant will naturally be pollinated by insects and wind.

Top dressing

From the second year of life, the plant should be fed. Typically, there are three types of dressings per season.

- Spring

The first top dressing is applied immediately after the snow melts. During this period, mineral and organic substances are used. Chicken droppings or mullein diluted in water will do.

- Summer

In summer, the culture needs potash fertilizers and trace elements - these substances contribute to the successful formation of peduncles. The variety responds well at this time to complex compositions. In the summer, after adding additional food, it is required to water the bush well. If slow development is observed, then phosphorus and nitrogen may become relevant.

- Autumn

In the fall, you can fertilize strawberries with both organic matter and minerals. Enriching the plant with vitamins will make it easier for it to survive the upcoming cold weather. In mid-September, mullein or chicken droppings are introduced, and at the end of the month, a urea solution or superphosphates can be offered.

One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest. There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

It is a frost-hardy variety, but sometimes it needs help to get through the winter. To do this, you should eliminate all old leaves by mid-September, and cover the ridge with spruce branches or non-woven material. When grown in the southern region, the bush does not need shelter.

In order for strawberries to delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries next year, they need to be properly prepared for winter. The set of measures for preparing strawberries for the cold includes: pruning, watering, feeding, loosening, pest control, mulching and shelter.
