VIDEO: Strawberry Runners Explained, How To Grow Strawberries From Runners


What Are Strawberry Runners And What Should We Do With Them? Most Strawberry mother plants send out several runners (stolons) every spring/summer. These runners are akin to a tomato sucker and are a vegetative offshoot of the main plant that’s trying to become a plant on its own. This is great and all, and a fantastic way to expand your Strawberry patch for free….however, they take energy away from the main plant.

In this video we explain exactly what Strawberry runners are and what to look for. As well, I show you how I extract the runners to make new plants and the strategies behind Strawberry runner management.

  1. No. Ca. Growing zone 9 or 9B. I grow or try to grow Albion strawberry. They are so tart What fertilizer do you use?

  2. I started my strawberries from seeds. I noticed the leaves had brown on them so I cut them off. How do I get them to produce more leaves. There are new leaves developing but there’re tiny and taking a long time to grow back. I have them in soil and indoors

  3. Hi there! Love the videos, but I have some questions. We planted strawberries in a planter and they have grown quite nicely. Have many runner that I have clipped and need to clip more. The problem is that I have no blooms! Am I doing something wrong?

  4. This is literally my first year of trying to garden in the Pacific Northwest and I find your videos really easy to follow very instructional and helpful. Excited to be a new subscriber.

  5. I brought in five jalapeno plants, one pasilla pepper plant.I repotted the pasilla plant and three of the jalapeno plants and
    not 2 of the Jalapeno plants they're doing great . I've been using Blossom set spray on them. they still have peppers on them and they're getting more flowers an developing pepperz and I'm growing. they're in my kitchen under lights. from reading this I guess I should keep the fan on… how long and will it chill them at all if it's at night?

  6. Hi. I watched the three “care” videos. Awesome job. I have a tiny planting that has been going for a couple years. This season after one harvest they kinda went south. Then recovered but no flowers. Now y’all and leggy with now runners. Do you think they need something to eat?

  7. Just planted my first ever runner this afternoon, and its looking pretty droopy, does it maybe need more water? (The soil is fairly wet but not overly wet) or is that just normal until the roots grow out a little bit? (It had like 4 or 5 root nodules)

  8. I bought a potted strawberry plant and it's been such a rewarding experience caring for it. I just cut off and replanted some runners and I tripled my strawberry patch
