Planting Strawberry Runners, Tips and Strategies In 2020

- How To Plant Strawberry Runners! Strawberry mother plants send out runners as a reproductive strategy. These runners are akin to a tomato sucker and are a vegetative offshoot of the main plant that's trying to become a plant on its own. This is great and a fantastic way to expand your Strawberry patch for free! Propagating Strawberries from runners is the single easiest way to multiply a Strawberry population.
In this video I show you how I plant my Strawberry runners for maximum growth and success so that we can get new fruiting Strawberry mother plants within a single growing growing season! The only thing that beats free Strawberry plants is free Strawberry plants that start producing right away!

My 2yr old strawberry plants have never given any runners perhaps because they are heirloom from Mitre 10 garden centre
@@raewyncormack2461 yes, there are definitely some varieties that give little to no runners.... For sure
Thank you for this video. Straight to the point. I get so tired of listening to people who fell the need to tell me their family history. I just want to know how to grow strawberries.
Thanks so much Debora! I have an even more up-to-date, comprehensive Strawberry Runner video I did this summer, check it out!: th-cam.com/video/TewWAJz_KkA/w-d-xo.html
This channel deserves more subscribers. I actually like this guy’s passion and you can tell he enjoys making these videos and sharing his knowledge about plants. I turned on notifications so I don’t miss the next video 😎
Thanks so much Daniel....too kind!! If we can get one new person to garden every day or solve one garden problem out there in the world, the channel is doing good!
Daniel Wnek I agree ! 👍🏼😊
Farm Life with Kids woah I just checked out your channel and it looks so professional
Farm Life with Kids wish I could make videos that great
Daniel Wnek Thank you. ☺️
Have grown strawberries for years and didn’t know all of these tips. Very clear video and now I feel ready to go to my strawberry beds and get started on next years plants. Thanks!
I've done the trying to pot the runners while they were still attached to the Mother plant. At one point I had margarine tubs all over my garden. NEVER AGAIN...LOL. Thank you for this video lesson. Next year will be much more productive.
So glad to find your video. My runners all died after I planted them. Now I know what to do in the next growing season. Thank you
Sorry to hear that Cindy! :-( Best of luck in 2021 though!
I'm so happy I found this today. I bought a strawberry plant yesterday and they only had one left. It has one runner on it. I just looked and it already has the root nodules! Im so exited to start the baby! Thanks so much!
I love your style of teaching. I’m learning so much from you. I’ve had my own garden for 20 years. Not very big. But the more I learn the more I add to my garden. Thank you for the awesome idea about using the runners to make more strawberry plants for free. I’m going to watch you a lot more now. Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts to this channel. I look forward to watching everything you’ve posted.
I was wondering why my strawberries were getting smaller, despite good fertiliser. Had no idea it was the runners draining them. Thank you so much for this helpful video. I've subscribed!
Hey thanks for the support! Yeah, it's the cycle of strawberries.... Years 2-4 are the best, then it's downhill...
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I've got a question about this. If they don't produce well after 5 years, what's the best thing to do?
Are the runners from a 5 year old plant that's in decline, not going to produce much fruit the same way the parent plant does? Or is that 5 year decline sort of reset after the runner is rooted and an individual plant in its own right?
Cheers, I didn't know that you need to be aware of the age of your strawberry plants 😮👍
This is awesome! I actually did the pots everywhere method last year. It worked well but I am excited for this.
Best of luck! Once you get the timing down is much less work and clutter than little pots everywhere... But, both methods work, it's just personal preference! :-)
You are an absolute star!! I have never done it while attached to the plant. You are the only video I have seen that takes them off like me
Still a great video...👍 🇬🇧
@@roncollins9222 It is a fabulous video, and that is basically what I said
This video was great! I grow my strawberries in containers and could never find any videos about how to handle the runners when there’s no soil around to let them root into! I will definitely be trying this.
This is my 4th year watching this TIMELESS video. You rock Sir! ❤
Thanks so much, too kind! :-)
I have watched several videos on planting strawberry runners. Although I've been growing for years, I never grew strawberries. This year, I bought a plant, and two weeks ago, planted the runners using YOUR method. 4 runners planted. The mother plant is still doing great and starting to produce strawberries, and the 4 runners planted are also doing great and growing as healthy young strawberry plants. Many thanks for this video and its information.
Outstanding Stuart. More than happy to help. Hope you get a huge bounty of berries!
You just don't know how much you have helped me, thanks from the Philippines.
Right on Greg, happy to oblige! :-)
Wow, the best instruction about propagation strawberry runners I have ever watched. Thank you!
Hey thanks, very kind of you to say! 🙂
I used to watch a lot of video about gardening ,this one I my favourites Living in the cold area likes me is really hard to plant all veggies ,so I love to see yours instructions and thanks !!!
Thanks so much Diep! Appreciate that! :-)
I may have missed watching this two years ago but I’ started my strawberries in hanging pots and clay pots yesterday. This video will help me and guide me into growing my own strawberry in years to come. 😊👍👍 thank you Jeff 🙏🏻👍👍♥️
Iv been given 2 strawberry plants for mothers day..(UK)....never grown them before so this video was excellent..thankyou...👍
THANK YOU! This is invaluable information. Now I know why I’ve had so much trouble with strawberry’s. I really appreciate this. ❤️👍🏼💯%
Cheers Renda! Thanks for watching and for the support!
Well I learned a different way to do them I just plant the root ball them than cut the plant off from the mother one
Ty for sharing
Cheers Patty! All the best to you!
Hi..Im so amazed and enlightened on your video...I just got my first ever strawberry runner but before I planted it I am just so blessed to come across with your video...thank you and God bless.
Awesome! I hope you get many many berries from it in the future!!! :-)
Did not understand too much about how to do the runners,,,you explained it to help me understand how to work with it, ,For this I'm so thankful and grateful. Your video is awesome!!!Thanks again and again.
You are a great teacher! 🌞

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Thanks so much! :-)
I'm so happy to know that I can actually propagate strawberries similar like photos. I will definitely soak the runners in water first. Thank you so much for all the tips, I really appreciate it!
Definitely Flo! Its super easy and you'll be swimming in new Strawberry plants before you know it!

My first time for planting strawberries in pot love the preparation for the soil I will prepare mine I am living in linden town Guyana south America a warm country I will let you know when I get some fruit 🍓 thanks 🙏 for sharing I have learned a lot
Guyana South America! That is warm Islyn! Do you know what varieties are available for your climate? Be interesting to see what your local stores carry.
Great video. I'm one of those that tried rooting the runners while still attached on the mother plant, with limited success. This is a very interesting method. I'm excited to try it. Thanks.
Best video on propagating strawberries. ❤️🙏
Hey, thanks so much! Updated, all-inclusive video coming out next weekend!
Thanks for sharing this video. It's very helpful. I appreciate it very much. 👍
This is soooo much better than the cumbersome pot method I was trying. Thumbs up
Cheers Adam, best of luck with it! :-)
I just loved your video! So helpful and easy to watch
Thanks Caroline, that makes me happy to hear!
What a thorough how to grow strawberries video. You were driving me crazy leaving the inch of runner on the cuttings. I just put strawberries in and now I’m going to go back and do it your way. Lol live and learn. 😎
Ha ha Catherine! You certainly don't have to leave it on...just makes it easier to anchor them and plant them up. Force of habit for me now after all these years. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 😎
Outstanding, instructional video that is just what I needed so I can propagate my strawberries! Thanks so much!
Best of luck with the berries Bob! :-)
😘
As a new strawberry person thank you so much what a great video cheers from Florida
I like the way you treat the small runner via a water ..very impormative ..love this video....
I'm also a grower 🍓 here in Philippines... Thank for this video sir god bless👏👏👏😇
Thanks so much Randy!! What varieties of Strawberries are you growing there that can take the heat? Cheers, thanks for the kind words!
Absolutely awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Hey thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
I love your videos!! So easy to watch and understand! I learn better by seeing something and not reading it so I really appreciate a straight to the point video. I joined the fb page! Excited to see all the posts! Thank you again & God bless 🤍✨🙏
Growing strawberries is awesome
too funny that is just what i did!!! i just put the runners on top of little pots for them to root. First year growing strawberries and only have a few and they are done for the season. Thanks for the information
Ha ha it still works beth! And they are instantly in pots already, so that's nice! Around here though the pots always get knocked over and its a nightmare! Happy growing!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I dont have the amount of strawberries that you do but I will know what to do next year with runners. Thank you
This year I started to grow strawberries. That information was useful for me at this time. Thanks!
Right on Donatas! Best of luck this year! :-)
So happy to have come across your video. All the previous one's I've watched on strawberry runner's talk about leaving them attached 👍🏻👍🏻
Hay Karl, thanks! You definitely can leave them alone...its just that they continue to sap energy and resources from the mother plant, which will affect your harvest! :-)
Thanks for sharing, I will start doing this with my strawberries. When my nephews and niece's come over I never have enough strawberries for them.
I know the feeling Sophie! I could grow fields of them and it wouldn't be enough!
I didn’t have any luck of growing strawberries this year this is great info for next year thank you stay safe.
Thanks for watching. I've had more strike outs than home runs this year too.....funny summer all around it seems!
The Ripe Tomato Farms Yes
Loved your video! So informative, to the point and up close and personal so I could see exactly what you were talking about. Good job.!
Right on Charlotte, glad you liked it! :-)
Best strawberry video I’ve seen. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Thanks so much scrapper! :-)
Thanks for the info .Very informative Thanks for sharing Watching here in South Korea
Cheers Editha, thanks so much for watching! :-)
Thank you for your videos about strawberries ❤️❤️ explained everything 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I just started my adventure with strawberries temptation this year January, will back to your videos and advices in future, thank you so much and good luck ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right on sylwia! Best of luck! :-)
Thank you! I Have been propagating mine the old fashioned way, so was enjoying this very much, and was so thankful for the advise. Then I noticed the Riders logo on your hat, :) so I watched your introductory video.
I have an aquaponics system and was losing runners left and right. Thank you for showing me how to do this
I miss you very much! so good and fun video. have a nice day, Jeff you are the best!
Thanks so much for watching! All the best to you!
Just found your channel and subscribed. This is an excellent video. I'm continuing to build a youtube library of propagation. You made the list. Awesome.
Love all your videos...so informative!!
Thanks Sudha! Thanks so much for the kind words and support!
I bought bare root strawberries this spring and planted them , but failed . I knew I did something wrong. I learned that I buried them too deep😟Anyways, since I have a strawberry terracotta pot, I wanted to have strawberries in them and gladly found transplants from Lowes. I am happy to say they are thriving. I couldn’t wait for the sweet berries to appear, so with the runners. I will try your method of propagation . Thank you!

Great tutorial - paused and thumb'd up this video for the "..and Bob's Your Uncle" comment... (subscribing because it's a very well done tutorial)
This is my first time growing strawberries and I have so many runners with 3 to 5 babies coming off each. I will be doing just what you said and place them in water to grow better roots first and then plant them. Thank you so much for the very informative video.
Best of luck this year!! :)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you!
Wonderfully presented information! Thank you.... we have a couple dozen to get started immediately!💯
Thanks Arthur, appreciate that!
Thank you for the video. Very helpful
Hey cheers Jenny, thanks for watching!

Very detailed explanation. Thank you so much for making this easy to understand and for sharing.
Cheers Nicole, thanks so much for watching! :-)
Such a great video, it was full of very detailed and straightforward information! I learned so much, thank you!
I needed this info! Thank you 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching!
Vickon Targaryen I really did too. This information came in just in time. My strawberry plants are sending lots of runners right now. I’ll share how I apply this knowledge on my next video.
@@FarmLifewithKids I'll make sure to check it out when you post!
The Ripe Tomato Farms thank you. I’d really appreciate you watching. That way you can see how far your videos and information go. 😊
@@FarmLifewithKids Defiinitely! I've watched all your vids starting with the chicken rehab one! Always waiting for the next video to pop up in my feed!
I am in zone 8 and I grow everbearing strawberries in mounded rows in raised beds, the mounded rows are about 12 inches apart. when the runners start growing I put the runners in 4" pots filled with homemade potting mix and secure the runner with a fence staple until it forms roots, when roots have formed I collect the potted runners and put them in trays and prior to first frost date move the trays into my greenhouse and I usually have some berries in late February or early March. In spring I plant the berry plants back in my berry patch to replace older plants and sell what I don't need. as of today 8-25-21 I have about 180 runners in pots ready to go in the greenhouse for winter. I also grow new plants in pots from seed, very easy to do. I have not tried the water rooting method but will try that soon.
awesome... great job sir
Very informative. Thanks
Cheers, thanks Eiko!
Perfect timing, potting up my runners is my job for today , thanks for all the tips.
Nice, great information. I know now how many things I have done wrong! Thank you.
Unlimited strawberries 🍓 🍓
Thank you for posting. You taught me a lot.
I just bought two strawberry 🍓 plants from the Lowe’s. I’m going to make a strawberry 🍓 field
Best of luck MAC!
Love your videos and how you easily explain the steps!! Question.. when propagating strawberry runners and putting them in water to grow roots, how long do they stay in the water? Do I change the water during this process? Thanks for your help!😁
Hey Stacey, they produce the roots in about a week. Its quick. No need for a water change because nothing is rotting to make the water go funky. You don't need the water step...I like to do it because often I don't have the time to pot up on the same day I take the runners! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks so much for the quick response! Fingers crossed!!
@@staceylong7700 You got this...Strawberries galore in your future!
The thought of placing pots everywhere around my mother plants made me want to skip the rooting process alltogether this year. Thanks for this showing an easier way
EXACTLY!!! There had to be a better way..... And there was... ;)
Simply Superb Information.I was waiting for such information as i too have a Strawberry plant, but dint knew how to use the runners.
Thanks Amit, best of luck! :-)
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Very well presented and explained! THANL YOU!
Cheers Thom, thanks for watching! :-)
Very much like the house plant the spider plant.
Totally Samantha, same idea.
Fantastic. I love this.
Cheers Sarah, thanks! I updated the video here this year, check it out if you're interested:th-cam.com/video/TewWAJz_KkA/w-d-xo.html
I had plant Strawberry frome runner the leaf are becoming drying and one leave are growing how can I protect those leave are going dry?????😅😅😅
Excellent video!!!!!!
Thanks Charleen! :-)
Great informative video! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
Hey thanks for watching and for the support!
Great video! If we are potting them, when can they then be planted in the ground? Meaning, what do we do next? 🙈
My kiddos would like to collect and pot the runners to sell and gift.
Thank you for the tip the tutorial was very well explained and presented. I will now go do my strawberries, I was doing it with the pots around the mother plant.
Very informative n right to the point
Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed it.♥️
Cheers Christine, thanks for watching!
Love the video been growing strawberries for about 2 years now and never really gave runners much thought differently gonna be taking your advice looking forward to have a ton more strawberries next year and I'm growing everbearing eversweet very nice
Hey, that's awesome ryan. Makes a huge difference for growth of the main plant, and if it's a variety you like, a free way to expand the patch!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms how long did you leave the strawberry runners in the water to grow the roots?
Great tuition
Thanks! :-)
This is exactly what I was looking for. So hard to find info about whether we can cut the runner and plant it without having rooted yet.
Hi GG. Last Fall a Friend moved to a New Condo & HOA didn’t allow her Tall Planter Full of Strawberry Plants. Yep, you know where they are now👌🏾 Going to move them all to a Strawberry Tower next Spring.👌🏾 💕 Auntie Ellen.
dont laughh I did the little pots on my grandmas steps ! worked ggreat for her ! actually looked pretty too..
Ha ha gotta do whatever works Kim! :-)
Once the runner has established its roots in the 4 inch pot, can they be over wintered in the same pot or do they need to be potted on into something bigger?
Bigger everytime it grows
You have allways so good ideas in your videos 👍🌻🍓🍓🍓
Thanks so much! 🍓🍓🍓
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank yout belongs to you 😊😊🌻
This was super helpful. I’m glad it popped up on my feed.
Oh, I do have a question though. Do you just keep those runners in pots until next year? I live in the subtropics. This year I just planted the runners straight into the ground and kept them there, but I’d rather use the space if I can just keep them in pots
Thanks Cheryl, appreciate the support! :-)
@@cheryl_jones It depends on the time of year that I take them. Early enough for them to grow all summer, for sure they can go in the ground. If I collect them late summer, then they go into pots and come indoors or into the greenhouse for the following year. :-)
thank you, this was very informative!, nice video!
Very informative video, thanks.
Awesome video, thank you! God bless you and your family.
Thanks Georgetown, glad you liked it!
Great info will do it ♥️🏴England
Thanks Patreicia!
So helpful!! Thank you! I just startrd trying to grow strawberries.
They are super prolific when you get them set up Mandy....very much worth it! :-)
Really good video and explanation. Thank you!
Well hello Mr. Farms! I had already watched a few strawberry vids when yours popped up. I see your stuff as Strawberry 102. Answered my questions! Except one. What's the ballpark from potting to ready to plant?
I live in the sunny south. About 40 years ago when I first got started with my garden I planted strawberries. It was a disaster. Ha. Never tried it again. I have learned a few things since. So, I figgered.... Got 20 sunny south plants coming in soon to go into a 60 foot row. The matter of propagation was on my mind. Since I'll be growing with a kraft paper cover (to start) with a goodly straw topper....punch the paper and stuff the runner in the dirt and let nature take its course or.... So next I postulated potting....and your video came up and answered every question ('ceptin for the one) that I had. This is mos def the way I'll go now. I'll jes help the little boogers along some. I don't mind. Upvote big time. Subscribed as well! I thankee!
We do over 1000 runners a year in pots... sorta. We used those1inch seed starter "pods". We get them free and cut them up. We just hang them from the plant affixed to the runner.
Sweet! If it works don't try to fix it!
Just joined your Facebook group! I love your channel!
Thanks Alicia!
This is a great video.
Subscribed here and on FB. Thanks for producing great information without a lot of 'filler conversation'.
