Care Guide

Cold Stratification

Refrigerate seeds for 2-4 weeks before sowing to break dormancy and improve germination significantly.

Sowing

Sow on the surface of seed-starting mix and press lightly—do not bury. Keep moist with a humidity dome.

Soil

Strawberries need rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil pH 5.5-6.5. Amend UAE alkaline soil with sulphur or peat moss.

Watering

Consistent moisture—drip irrigate to keep berries clean. Avoid overhead watering.

Feeding

Liquid feed every 2 weeks with balanced fertiliser; switch to potassium-rich during fruiting.

Best Uses

• Smoothies and milkshakes
• Strawberry shortcake and pavlova
• Frozen strawberries for off-season use

Common Problems and Solutions

• Low germination: Cold-stratify seeds first.
• Aphids and spider mites: Spray neem oil and increase humidity.
• Grey mould (botrytis): Improve airflow; avoid wetting leaves.
• Small berries: Insufficient nutrients or watering—feed and irrigate consistently.
• Iron chlorosis (yellow leaves): Apply chelated iron in alkaline UAE soils.
