Mini Strawberries have sensitive roots and are prone to root rot. Keep roots healthy with twice-monthly tank refreshes and root checks plus weekly HydroBoost. Watch for aphids and spider mites.
Harvest berries when fully red to the stem. For deeper flavor, allow 1-2 extra days to soften and sweeten. Pinch or snip berries from individual stems.
Strawberries have been eaten by humans for hundreds if not thousands of years. However, it wasn’t until the 18th century that they gained popularity and became a staple in the home garden. This mini variety, also known as wild or alpine strawberries, is native to many temperate regions of the world, including parts of North and South America.
Enjoy Mini Strawberries fresh as a sweet snack, or added to fresh greens, granolas, cheeses, desserts, or even muddled in a refreshing drink. Consume the berries quickly after harvesting as they do not store well! While most people wait for the reward of this flavorful fruit, the Mini Strawberries’ white blossoms are also edible and can be a delightful garnish or addition to salads.
