Strawberries are the most beloved and popular berry in our gardens. Even in the smallest plots, there will always be a place for it, since every year there are more and more unexpected and original solutions for its cultivation. 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

First of all, it is important to choose a site for planting and prepare it correctly. It is also important to purchase high-quality planting material.

It should be planted in a sunny place, protected from blowing by northern winds. Previously, the site is freed from weeds, dug up and fertilized with organic matter. Fertilizer is best done a month before the planned planting work, or at least two weeks.

The plant of Italian origin prefers to grow in nutritious and loose soils with moderate moisture. Ideally, plant in black soil and peat bogs. The culture dies in acidified areas and in a wetland. It is desirable that the plantings are located on heights, and the groundwater level is not closer than 1 m.

Young bushes can be damaged by direct sunlight. The first time it is better to shade them.

Seedlings must be selected carefully. They are planted according to the standard scheme, which does not differ from any other strawberry variety - 30x30 cm. The recommended compaction is up to 25 cm, since the Murano strawberry bushes are quite compact.

The better to care for the crop, the more fruitful each bush will be, and the risk of crop disease is minimized. The basis of care is timely watering and feeding.

It is enough to water the strawberries once a week using the drip irrigation system. In the absence of such a possibility, watering is carried out at the root in the morning or in the evening, that is, during a period of reduced solar activity. For this, warm settled water is used. You cannot pour cold water directly from the well.

If the weather is very hot outside, the number of irrigations should be increased to 3 per week (or more, depending on how quickly the soil dries out). After each watering, you need to loosen the soil. To maintain an optimal level of moisture in the soil, it is covered with a layer of mulch, especially during periods of prolonged heat.

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 flowers of this strawberry are large, bisexual. This means that Murano does not need an additional pollinator at all.

Top dressing

Fertilize strawberries three times a season.

  • In early spring. Bushes need nitrogen feeding, awakening from winter sleep. This trace element is needed to stimulate the growth of the green part.
  • Also, strawberries are fed immediately after flowering using phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
  • After the harvest is harvested, you need to prepare the bushes for wintering, additionally fertilizing with organic matter.

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

This variety has good frost resistance. Plants can withstand temperatures down to -24 C under snow cover.Without snow in severe frosts, planting is recommended to generously mulch, cover with spruce branches, use dense agrofibre.

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.

Diseases and pests

This culture has a fairly strong immune system, which helps it withstand a number of strawberry diseases. The variety is resistant to fungal diseases, including brown and white spot. The main enemies for strawberries are weevils, slugs and nematodes. They are being fought with standard methods. Murano strawberries are practically not affected by spider mites.

But you should not neglect preventive procedures. It is necessary to clean the soil, mulch on time, apply fertilizers, protect the soil from drying out and waterlogging.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine their condition. Among the most common are powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, anthracnose, and verticillosis. Before buying a variety, you need to inquire about its disease resistance.

Reproduction

A fairly small number of whiskers is formed on the bush, which makes it difficult to reproduce strawberries of this variety. Culture reproduces in three ways:

  • seed;
  • mustache;
  • dividing the bush.

For full-fledged fruiting, gardeners divide the beds with uterine and fruiting bushes. In the first option, the work consists in growing a mustache, and the fruiting ones are cut off to obtain the maximum yield.

Despite the fact that the plant forms a little mustache, it is quite possible to get a full-fledged garden from a pair of seedlings.

Sowing seeds is considered the most time consuming method. They are planted in winter and kept under the condition of additional lighting.

The method of reproduction by dividing the bush is practiced in the autumn after the end of fruiting. Only strong bushes with powerful roots are considered suitable.

Strawberries or garden strawberries multiply very easily. The most common way to obtain planting material is to grow young plants from vegetative shoots - whiskers. Seedlings are also obtained by dividing the bush.
