CARE GUIDE

How to keep Fragaria Orientalis.

Water

Fragaria orientalis thrives in moist soil but is sensitive to waterlogging, as it has shallow roots. To keep it healthy, water it once a week during the spring and summer, preferably in the morning. To prevent disease, try to avoid getting water on the leaves or fruit. To check if the plant needs watering, insert a finger into the soil—if it feels dry, it's time to water.

Pruning

Fragaria orientalis is a hardy, low-growing plant known for its vibrant fruits. To maintain its health and productivity, prune it from early to late spring. This involves removing old foliage, cutting back runners, and thinning crowded areas. These steps improve air circulation, prevent disease, and boost fruit production. For the best care practices, refer to horticultural guidelines.
