DocBrock · March 11, 2018

Any suggestions on the best potting media for growing strawberries? About a month and a half ago I experimentally planted some Quinault plants in a 24" window box and they are pathetic. The plants at Home Depot in the seedling cups have better berries than mine do. Mine are tiny and shriveled like you put a big one in the food dehydrator. Trying to figure out what I did wrong. I see all these pictures on google of nice plants with big berries in tiny terra cotta strawberry pots and I've got a lot bigger container with no results. I'm in SW FL zone 10.
