Features of growing in a greenhouse

Yes, taking care of berries in a greenhouse is not an easy thing, so a question may arise: is it not easier to buy it on the market or in a store?

Undoubtedly, such a purchase is quite affordable for some families, but actually grown strawberries have a number of advantages and features:

taste properties - berries for the store are not removed by natural maturity, they do not have time to collect the desired degree of sweetness and aroma;
vitamins - during long-term storage, vitamins can be destroyed, therefore the benefits of these fruits are substantially less than those that grow under their care;
safety - berries that contain harmful substances can get on the shelves.

Selection of strawberry seedlings for planting in the greenhouse

To yield berries in your greenhouse or mini-greenhouse was quite high, it is recommended to grow the following varieties that are recognized as the most prolific in Europe. These varieties of strawberries include:

"Honia"
Elsanta
"Crown"
"Sonata"
Darselent.

It is better to grow berries in greenhouse with ordinary seedlings, not seeds.

You can go the other way - to buy ready-made seedlings, but it will be safer to prepare all the planting material yourself by taking processes of berries of proven varieties from your own plot.

Over the summer, seedlings should be rooted in open soil, and when they have a strong root system, transplant the plants into a box or other container with fertile soil, which is saturated with complex fertilizers in advance.

In dry weather it is necessary to water the seedlings. Before the onset of the first frost in the autumn, transfer the boxes of plants to the greenhouse.

You can root young saplings in small pots with a diameter of about 8 to 10 cm, which are filled with an organic substrate, or immediately in pots with a diameter of about 20 cm - it is not necessary to choose seedlings from similar pots when growing berries in a greenhouse. This strawberry grown in pots, blooms well and very abundant fruits.

Another option - the use of seedlings "frigo":

dig up seedlings from the garden;
cut all the leaves;
put the seedlings on the preservation in the refrigerator throughout the winter.

When to plant seedlings?

In late March, when the temperature in the greenhouse rises to 15 degrees during the day, strawberries can already be planted in the soil. Consider that flowering plants react very painfully to any transplant, so you should strive to transfer them to the hole, usually with the ground.

In order to save the area, which is precious for a gardener, for planting, the bushes should be arranged so that in the future it is possible to plant tomatoes or peppers between them. The earth around the plants is mulched with sawdust or covered with a black film, which retains moisture and protects the fruit from contamination.

Spring in most parts of Russia is dangerous with cold, so it is necessary to stock up in advance with the required amount of covering material in order to protect their pets.

If there is a possibility, it is advisable to even acquire a special heater in order not to prevent the air temperature in the greenhouse itself from falling to negative values.

Appropriate temperature and humidity in the greenhouse

Strawberries are fastidious enough in terms of temperature and humidity - all the requirements of this plant must be met. Own temperature regime of strawberries can be saved only when using specialized equipment.

If you are still confident in your abilities and are aimed at obtaining a bountiful harvest - purchase a system of irrigation and automatic heating.

The trick of strawberry technology is to achieve a slow and regular increase in degree.

With such an increase in temperature, the formation of fruit buds - and, as a result, strawberries - is significantly increased.

The humidity in the greenhouse must also meet certain requirements. At the time of landing, as well as for a month after - the humidity should be maintained at 80 to 85%.

After this period - the humidity drops to 75%, when the strawberries bloom - the moisture index should remain at 70%.

The increased humidity of the atmosphere contributes to plant diseases, so the greenhouse must be aired.

Watering and feeding strawberries in greenhouse conditions

Any plant requires watering, and strawberries, of course, is no exception. The ground should not be dry, but with excessive moisture the bushes can get sick, and the fruits will become watery and tasteless. Watering should be at the root so that the liquid does not fall on the leaves and flowers. Strawberry, of course, loves water, it is necessary to regularly water the plants.

After planting, the strawberry needs additional fertilization with nitrogen and potash fertilizers, in addition, it needs trace elements. Excellent results are brought by feeding plants with carbon dioxide.

Due to the fact that it is very difficult to use equipment that is used in industrial greenhouses in the backyard or summer cottage area, it is the easiest and easiest option to pour the water with water, having previously saturated it with carbon dioxide.

Light mode in winter

The experience of gardeners shows that it is best to build a sloping wall greenhouse of a winter type with an automatic lighting system, irrigation, as well as airing. It is better to entrust the construction of the greenhouse to experts.

The heating system will be beneficial to combine with the boiler house. Then the house and the greenhouse will be heated simultaneously.
