Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Mulch around strawberry plants to retain moisture, prevent weeds, and keep fruit clean. Trim runners to encourage stronger plants and better fruit production.
How to Water
Water strawberry plants regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during fruiting. Avoid wetting the leaves to reduce disease risk. Water at the base of the plant, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig holes deep enough for the roots to spread.. Space plants 30-45cm apart for good air circulation. Backfill with soil and water well after planting.
