My Strawberry Plants Look Amazing But Don’t Bear Much Fruit.

Question

There is a lot of leaf growth but few flowers. Would all the leaves be preventing the sun from penetrating through to the flowers? If we fertilize the plants as often as recommended, won’t the leaves grow even more?

Answer 1

A lack of flowers can indicate not enough sun. Strawberries need 8 hours of sun each day to produce well. Other reasons include improper watering, excess nitrogen fertilizer, and pests or disease. I included an article below about fertilizing that should help.
