How To Grow Strawberries from Seed 🍓 (Fast and Easy Method)

In this short video I will show you how to accomplish germinating strawberry seedlings for growing at home!

You can see how small and tiny strawberry seeds are. I like to plant them in cups so that the small seeds do not come out while watering them.

Go ahead and start slicing the strawberry seeds from the fruit. Place them at the top of the pot.

Place the small cuttings of strawberry onto the soil. Make sure to cover the strawberries when planting them with a layer of soil about half inch to an inch.

Pack the soil on top of the strawberry seeds. Make sure to water, then place the container in a warm sunny spot to grow! Strawberry seedlings will start to germinate in about 2 weeks or so.

Thank you for this video! My 5 year old and I spent 30 minutes picking the seeds off of strawberries with toothpicks before finding your video. Just finished planting and watering. So much quicker and easier your way! Now it's hanging out in a nice sunny spot on our porch. We caught the gardening bug and did tomatoes and small flowers, too.

Thanks dude, I'm on the keto diet. My family never buys enough strawberries when they hit the store, might as well grow my own lol.

For everyone asking about mold, ground cinnamon can be used as a deterrent and a pesticide. Just sprinkle a bit on the surface of the soil

I took a few bad strawberries and covered them in my planter outside, and the next year, they popped up. Now I'm getting nice strawberries off the plant!

The beige "seeds" that you see on the outside of the strawberry are actually the achene (the covering) of the tiny black seed inside. Achenes prevent the seeds from germinating. In addition, the strawberry pulp will increase disease development in culture, AND the "flesh" will contain compounds that prevent germination. If you want the best germination, then get the seeds out of the achene first. To do this, through your strawberry into a blender with water about 1/3 to 1/2 filled with water. Blend for a few second. Pour out liquid and pulp, leaving a couple hundred mL (A couple ounces of liquid at bottom of blender pitcher. Fill pitcher with liquid again, and slowly pour out pulp and liquid. After a few times, you will see the tiny black seeds, that are more dense than pulp and achenes, sitting at the bottom of the pitcher. Pour seeds on a paper towel. Pick seeds off paper towel. Plant in clean potting mix filled trays.

With your technique to get the seeds, it's less dangerous to break them or lost them!! Thanks!

[jessicad]

Thank you so much for this video. My daughter wants to grow strawberries, going to give this a try this week! 😀👍🍓

Hey I have a question, what type of soil did you use to grow the strawberries?

[greatanimator]

I tried that method, and sometimes it works.🌱

[dianagoodson-fortner]

I haven't found any strawberry plants anywhere in my town. The nursery may have them but I'm not driving out that far. I am certainly going to try this. The patio is where I'll be hanging them. I like that idea as I won't have to get down on my knees to harvest. Easy 👍. Thank you!

We recently made a garden, my parents are growing cilantro and something else and I wanna grow garlic and strawberrys so we dont have to go to the store everytime

[corysimek]

You mention cold stratification, is it necessary? You mentioned keeping them in the fridge a while, can you accelerate that or get better results in the freezer?
