I want to grow strawberries in pots or containers at home. What size container, soil, and care routine work best?
 
I plant and grow strawberries in containers using fabric grow bags. They drain really well and prevent root rot. During hot summers, I water daily. In cooler months, every 2 & 3 days is enough. Mulching the top helps keep moisture in.
 
For growing strawberries in containers, I'd recommend using a pot that's at least 6-8 inches deep to give the roots enough room to grow. As for the soil, a well-draining mix with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 works well. You can also add some compost or fertilizer to give your strawberries a boost. In terms of care, make sure to water them regularly, but don't overwater, and give them plenty of sunlight, around 6 hours a day. You'll also want to fertilize them regularly and keep an eye out for pests like slugs and snails.
