My plant is in a hanging basket..last season just runners......... It's looking good again and growing runners...... Will I ever get fruit ?

Read up about how to grow strawberries or go back through the last 50 posts here. I would suggest you scrap the idea of a hanging basket. Have a big pot where you can plant several plants or plant in the ground.

My hanging baskets never survive or thrive, yet planting in large pots that already have a plant, and they have taken off!! Seperate them from the hanger and plant in pots

Anything planted in a pot requires a lot more attention to watering and the amount of fertiliser you apply. A fine line between under watering and over watering, same with fertiliser. Too much fert and the plant will be just leaves. The other night on a gardening show I saw a person fill 3 pots of reducing sizes to make a tower. One pot on top of another on top of another.. The bottom pot about 15 (??)
