I have a strawberry plant growing contained by a pot and was told that when it starts to flower that i should pick rotten the flowers to enable a bigger bounty of fruit.Is this correct?
Picking off the flowers will penny-pinching you don't get those berries that would enjoy grown from those flowers.
If you have lone one strawberry plant - I'd take doesn`t matter what berries it's going to provide you - because it won't be very tons.
no, walk out them, they will ripen at different rates anyway, just pick the fruit when its ripe. I would suggest planting it surrounded by the ground though then it can hold baby plants and you'll increase your concede. Then in a year or so when you own loads of plants pot them up into a strawberry planter to keep them away from slugs etc. I enjoy 3 planters now that come from just 4 plants 2 years ago, this is their 3rd season.
soak up!
Answers: I have hear of pinching off the flowers the first year to promote "runners" that replant themselves to start hot plants. If you pick off the flowers contained by a potted strawberry, you will get no fruit.
you are not going to get much out of it anyway if its within a pot. no flowers, no berries. i think what he expected was to pinch rotten some, allowing the remaining ones to get adjectives the nutrients and get bigger.
