I bought a whole bunch of baby strawberry plants. I planted them in planters for my 12th story balcony in Washington DC. I started them off indoors, and with a grow-lamp, they all flourished for 2-3 weeks. Then I brought them outside. Within 41-2 weeks they started to wither. Now almost all of them are shriveling and dying. I thought maybe I hadn’t watered them enough. So I gave them a ton of water yesterday. That hasn’t seemed to stop them from dying. Not sure what to do.
