What am I supposed to do with the runners on my strawberry plants? Do I replant them?
Strawberry plants produce runners, which are long, slender stems that grow out from the base of the plant. These runners eventually develop new strawberry plants at their tips.
You can replant these new strawberry plants to create new plants for your garden. To do this, simply cut the runner between the new plant and the mother plant. Then, plant the new plant in the soil, making sure that the roots are covered.
Replanting strawberry runners is a great way to propagate new plants for free. It's also a good way to fill in empty spaces in your garden.
