☀️ Growing in Perth
Plant in full sun, ideally receiving 6+ hours of sunlight daily. Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
Keep plants consistently moist, particularly during Perth’s warmer weather, but avoid waterlogging.
Apply straw or another suitable mulch around the plants to help keep fruit clean and reduce moisture loss.
🌸 Fertiliser
Feed with a strawberry or fruit-and-flower fertiliser during active growth and flowering. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leaves rather than fruit.
✂️ Maintenance
Remove damaged or diseased leaves and keep the area around plants free from weeds. Runners can be removed if you want the plant to concentrate its energy on fruit production.
