How To Plant Strawberry Runners! Strawberry mother plants send out runners as a reproductive strategy. 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 a fantastic way to expand your Strawberry patch for free! Propagating Strawberries from runners is the single easiest way to multiply a Strawberry population.
In this video I show you how I plant my Strawberry runners for maximum growth and success so that we can get new fruiting Strawberry mother plants within a single growing growing season! The only thing that beats free Strawberry plants is free Strawberry plants that start producing right away!

Hey, how can I make light soil in my garden there no such thing as cocopeat in my region and how can I protect my strawberry from fungus infection with homemade remedies. Thank you
Good info.! Thank you. What about diseases ?…eg.eelworm, viruses. Kind regs John Michaux. SOUTH AFRICA.
This very informative video. My runners all died the next day after I planted them. My strawberry plant has bloomed after 4 weeks. What fertilizer would you recommend? Thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel and subscribed. This is an excellent video. I'm continuing to build a youtube library of propagation. You made the list. Awesome.
thank you for the details on doing runners. Can i uproot some of my current runners and repot or should i leave them until spring and then do it?

This video was amazing, thank you for sharing. I have a question about bringing the runners indoors – I live in Canada and the winters are shall we say "brutally cold and unforgiving" – I have potted 48 strawberry babies (from June bearing mamas) and was wondering if leaving them in a dark cool room over fall, winter and early spring is the right thing to do?
Hi! new to the channel here : ) I was wondering out of curiosity and fun. Have you ever left a strawberry plant grow wild? (letting the plant go nuts with runners etc) Got distracted for a week or so and my strawberry gave me like 4 runners haha now I'm waiting for roots to transplant them : )
Perfect timing, potting up my runners is my job for today , thanks for all the tips.
What if instead of a pot, you could put some light substrate right around the base of the runner, like a ball of sponge in a small spherical container. You out water every now and then, the plant grows roots faster.
I just searched my pretty big strawberry plant. And absolutely no runners. I can't find any, so I'll be planting the seeds instead. I'm moving out of my parents house soon and trying to pot as many plants as possible from my parents motherplants to bring them with me.
Thanks for the information. Very useful.
Great video on growing strawberry. Here is also a time-lapse video on a Strawberry seed germinating. It's incredible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFCP7s-YrAs
Helpful and practical as always. Thank you
I am in zone 8 and I grow everbearing strawberries in mounded rows in raised beds, the mounded rows are about 12 inches apart. when the runners start growing I put the runners in 4" pots filled with homemade potting mix and secure the runner with a fence staple until it forms roots, when roots have formed I collect the potted runners and put them in trays and prior to first frost date move the trays into my greenhouse and I usually have some berries in late February or early March. In spring I plant the berry plants back in my berry patch to replace older plants and sell what I don't need. as of today 8-25-21 I have about 180 runners in pots ready to go in the greenhouse for winter. I also grow new plants in pots from seed, very easy to do. I have not tried the water rooting method but will try that soon.
I know what I am going to be doing tommorrow. Hope it is not too late in the season. Wisconsin 8/27/21. It will be close to first frost but….what will happen to the runners if I do nothing? Right…they will die. So why not right?
We do over 1000 runners a year in pots… sorta. We used those1inch seed starter "pods". We get the free and cut them up. We just hang them from the plant affixed to the runner.
Thank you so much. This helps.
Awesome, i was already wondering what to do. Thank you for this great video
