If you put a couple of strawberries in a pot of soil, left it and watered it, would they grow?

Question

I beg to differ Kay M, i buried a set of key keys and now have small fiesta, im hoping it will eventually grow into a mercades

Answer 1

No they will not grow..strawberries are very supsebtable to many fungi diseases and the rotting fruit will more than likely give you bad plants if 1 did survive..You can pick the little seeds off of the strawberry and let them dry first(they are extremely small) then plant them..this does not mean you will end up with the same strawberry that you ate or got the seed from due to cross pollination which shows up in the next generation from the seed..due to many hybreds on the market and the varities grown around each other..this will not be the same plant you got the fruit from..more than likely, any seeds thatm sprouted will have a fungi or be diseased plants

Answer 2

No only if you took the seeds from the strawberries.

Answer 3

Yes it is possible because I've done it with my strawberries, but ripping off the seeds firs of course, and gotten them to sprout, but they take a whole year to get big enough to make fruit.

It is faster to get a whole plant with many runners to start a patch. All you need to do is dig out the grass, loosen the soil, throw fine mulch, or straw there, plant the strawberry plant, water it for a month and in a year it will become 10-20 plants.

Answer 4

If you put a car into a pot of soil, would IT grow???

no.

Answer 5

Not likely

Answer 6

Yes they should grow. Although an easier way is to plant the "runners" that strawberry plants send out. Basically after the fruit you will get a long stem with some leaves on and what looks like roots. Take this leaves and root combo off the main plant and you have a mini strawberry plant ready to plant somewhere else!

Answer 7

I don't know much about gardening, but I don't see why not. The outside of the strawberry has seeds, and in nature they use the fruit to transport the seeds via birds, etc. who eat the fruit and p**p the seeds out into the soil therefore creating more strawberry plants. So, if it works in the wild, why not work for you? This was like a ridiculously long answer for a simple question.. haha.

Answer 8

No..

Answer 9

Try it ya, never know. I have planted grape tomatoes with success that same way.
