Strawberry Plants: To Cut Back Or Not.

Question

I have plants I grew indoors from seeds this month. I assume I should pinch off buds. But will I need to cut back the plants so they will be the proper size in the spring?

Answer 1

They can't be too tall if you just grew them from seed. Remove leaves as they naturally die out. I suggest planting them outside in the ground and mulching well. They will get new growth in spring.
