Plants strawberries indoors in any season to keep them away from the cold and to give you a year-round supply of fresh, tasty fruit.There is an easy process to follow.
Step 1: There is a choice of a fresh strawberry.
It needs to be ripe and not squishy.
Step 2: The strawberry has seeds on its skin.
To get the seed out, flick your wrist.If you try to push it out, you'll get a hole in your strawberry.
Step 3: Put the seeds on the plate.
To ensure that at least one takes, collect as many as you think you need, but a good amount is around 30 seeds.
Step 4: If you want to grow strawberries, fill a cup, jar or other container with soil.
Step 5: The toothpick needs to be dipped in water.
It should be damp.The seeds should stick onto the toothpick without falling off if you poke a couple of them.
Step 6: Hold the toothpick over the cup after a few seeds have stuck to it.
You can flick the top of the toothpick with your middle or forefinger.The strawberry seeds should be in the cup.The seeds should not be pushed down.
Step 7: Continue until all of the seeds are in the cup.
Step 8: A third of the way, fill a cup of water.
Two thirds of hydrogen peroxide is added.
Step 9: The mixture should be stirred.
The toothpick should be dipped in this solution.The solution should be put over the seeds.As hydrogen peroxide is a natural oxidizer, it will help them grow.Once a week is all you need until the seeds have sprouted, so you don't need to do this every day.
Step 10: The soil should be watered gently.
The seeds can turn moldy if too much watering is done.Water the soil about once or twice a week.
Step 11: If you want the seeds to grow, place the jar in a warm place.
Step 12: Wait for the seeds to grow.
The seeds should have sprouted in a few days.If you have enough plants, you can transplant them into pots.
Step 13: The strawberries need to be tended to.
When the plants grow large enough, fruit will form and the plant should be able to produce some delicious strawberries for you to eat.
