How do I make my strawberry plants to stop producing runners and start producing flowers?
This is my first time with strawberries. I planted three plants six months ago. They are producing runners like mad. Its midsummer here in Australia. They haven't produced a single flower. I had bought the plants from a reputable nursery. I gave the plants some potash but they still didn't flower. Can someone help?
The plants you planted are the "mother plants." They will put out runners. Do not cut the runners until the end of the second year. Next year you will have some strawberries. The third year you will have more than you can use. You must cut the runners at the end of the second year because the mother plants will die after three years and the entire colony will die with them if you haven't cut the runners loose. Don't over fertilize. God bless you.
