Question

if you plant a strawberry in a container how long does it take to grow it?

Answer 1

First of all, plant them in this type of container with a plant in each hole:

Make sure that you keep it watered.  If you live in a place that gets cold in winter, bring in the pot.

Depending on what kind of strawberry you get, you will have berries in the next year.  A June-bearing variety will produce once a year and will take until next June to get established and bear fruit.  An everbearing variety will start bearing fruit as soon as it has established itself and started to put out runners (few months or so, depending on the climate it is in).

Answer 2

you can get the seed of strawberry from the surface of the fruit( that is the tiny tiny little green or black things on the fruit.) Do not put the whole strawberry in the pot, it may rot and won't grow. put the seed in the pot and let it grow. the plant will takes few months to mature and few more months to have strawberry on it. it all depends on the weather and soil. good luck with it.

Answer 3

you mean like an actual strawberry? or a strawberry plant? if you planted just a strawberry it might never grow. you need to let it dry out and harvest the seeds and dry them so they don't rot. a single strawberry would probably rot and die. but if you're lucky a seed might sprout if it doesn't die over winter- however it would take a long time to grow a strawberry plant from a single seed. maybe a few years before you even get fruit. but if you mean a single strawberry plant, it would obviously already be growing and you would get strawberries the year you planted it.
