The number of strawberry plants you can grow in a container depends on the size of the container and the specific variety of strawberry you’re planting. Generally, it’s recommended to space strawberry plants about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
If you’re using a small container like a hanging basket or a window box, you can usually plant 1 to 3 strawberry plants per container. For larger containers like a half-barrel or a raised bed, you can accommodate more plants. A general guideline is to have about 4 to 6 plants per square foot (30 to 45 cm²) of container space.
Keep in mind that strawberry plants will send out runners, which are long stems that produce new plants. If you allow the runners to root, you can increase the number of plants in the container over time. However, if you want to control the number of plants, you can trim off the runners.
Ultimately, it’s best to refer to the specific instructions provided with the strawberry variety you’re planting and consider the size of your container to determine the optimal number of plants per container.
