I have a couple of strawberry plants growing in a pot. My problem is that the strawberries aren't ripening, instead they are turning brown. This is my first time growing strawberries so I don't have any idea what I'm doing wrong. Can you help?

I had something similar happen around this time last year, I'm pretty sure its a seasonal thing as mine came green again in spring. I just made sure to water them regularly and remove any dead foliage that i found

Strawberry plant turning red... Dose this mean it's dying? Is there something I can do to save it.?

Where I live near Glen Innes NSW one of the worst critters to eat my strawberries are slaters. Slugs and snails can be a menace as well. Slaters love to live under the much round the plants. Beer traps are effective as they love it. Half fill submerged jar (rim level with soil). The slaters fall in and die happy.

Question: We are buying a home that has strawberries growing, do I replant the runners now, we get heavy frosts in our area. The strawberries have runners every where, in the garden beds and on the ground Thank you. Your advice would be appreciated

place the runners in pots now to regrow, do u have any idea how old the plants are coz after a few years u get less berries and they dont taste as good, if u dont want to plant more cut the runners back at the base. best u can do for your plants

What do you do with the runners and what do you do with the plant during winter, or is it just a summer plant? Does the plant withstand frosts? I have runners creeping out all over the place mixed in with my pumpkins and tomatoes?

My wild strawberries are growing but have no fruit yet or flowers when will I get a crop I water them every day? Live in Ferntree gully Victoria Australia

What I do is plant the new runners once they get a bit of length on them and wait till they establish themselves then I cut the cord joining them. That way I have another bush producing fruit

Is there a way to increase the size of my Strawberries? They grow normal size (approx. 20c piece) and taste great. I want to be able to increase the size to the jumbo strawberries. Is it the type of plant or is there something I can add?
