A Complete Strawberry Seed Starting Guide: Seeding, Growth Examples, Potting Up & Transplanting

*Use this for any strawberry variety* I wanted to make one video that shows you how to seed start strawberries indoors, provides growth examples, and shows you how to divide them up, pot them up, and transplant them outdoors. Plus I talk about watering, fertilizing, acclimation, and the overall process of growing your own strawberry transplants. All the steps with growth examples!

I just transplanted 60 alpine strawberry plants into GreenStalk towers, and gave the left over plants (2 months old) to my mother. She is transplanting the remaining alpine strawberry plants into her container garden, a mix of Red Wonder, White Soul, and Alexandria.

I wish I had started seeds verses ordering plants this year. It would have been such a money saver.

[benjaminsuddeth]

I needed this video. I thought they were growing slowly turns out they just grow slow.

[jonathan_r_lee]

Just started my very first strawberry plants today. Never grown them before and your video helped to ease my anxiety with growing them.

[mountaincreekhomestead]

Thank you for this video. My Strawberries sprouted two weeks ago. Definitely slow growers. I also bought crowns. I'm super excited 🍓🍓🍓

I can't wait. I will be starting one GreenStalk tower this year. If it goes well, I will start a few more, waiting for a great sale like the St. Patricks day sale was this year (I was so very tempted). Looking forward to doing greens, herbs, and strawberries in it. Radishes and spring onions. So many ideas. I guess it's a good day when you have to scale back some ideas and plans. It's better than not having hope. Been there for a long time. Coming out of it in fits and starts. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, skills, and encouragement with us, Gary!

I can always count on you for the video I need. After this, I need to see if you have any for saving lavender from root rot. My son bought me one for Mother's Day and I had no idea that they don't like a lot of water and we've had tons of rain.

I had a giggle when you said fish emulsion smells. For some reason I have not used it for a few years and forgot about that. I spent some time in the kitchen feeding plants/seedlings when my husband came in and wondered what in the world I was "cooking". 🤣😂 I have never tried strawberries from seeds. But now I really want to just for the fun of it. I have many plants now, but I can always give them away if I don't have room for them. Thank you for a great video.

[angelaraum]

You are so correct. Lowe's has them for almost $5. I feel they have at least doubled in the last couple years. I wish I had separated mine that were in a container. I've decided to add hanging baskets this year as I'm running out of growing room.

[melanieallen]

I was so excited the first time I grew strawberry from seeds..Inspiring video.

[christianerardt]

Great timing and thanks for your advice! 👍💚🌱
I just started my first strawberry seeds (Alpine red and white) 4 weeks ago. I gave them a good start by soaking them overnight in cold chamomile tea. So they germinated pretty quickly. I got about 30 plants so far. Now the first have been getting their first real leafs for about a week. Ofcourse they are still really tiny but growing well with a high germination rate. I'll give them some more weeks before i pot them up. 😊🍓

[dawnteskey]

I've started Strawberries from seed a couple times and never got much from them. thanks for this video, it helps me see what I did wrong!

[jamescollinscares]

I have white strawberry seeds and put in fridge for 10weeks i put some in inserts and some on damp paper towels..is been 1 week and all of the ones on paper towels have sprouted and I am going to put those in small pots today and hope they survive as this is all new to me ..some of the ones in inserts are popping too❤❤❤

[starmountaingardens]

Thanks for the info on how far along growth should be for each week....helped me judge mine and see if they are on track!!😁

[williamcorbitt]

Great video. I'll have to remember this content for next season. Thanks!

[CoachBernice]

Thanks for this video, Gary! I’m growing alpine strawberries for the first time and they’re at the same stage as yours now. I hope I can keep them alive long enough to harvest strawberries!

[brendakay]

I place my tiny seeds on a lightly damp single ply paper towel so, I can see them. Then tear or cut postage stamp size squares.

[vengenaceearly]

Hi Gary, thank you for your help. The funny thing about strawberries is it one of the very few instances where seed selection vs live plants are flipped. You really have to hunt for strawberry seed types, where as you can find so many live plant varieties. This is why my first strawberry tower from Green Stalk, was planted with live plants. It was pricey but I needed plants for zone 9 . I am a big fan of Seascapes.

[jackiehorsley]

nice strawberry plants I planted some strawberry plants last spring I fertilizered just recently there ready to go
