Thank you for this video! My 5 year old and I spent 30 minutes picking the seeds off of strawberries with toothpicks before finding your video. Just finished planting and watering. So much quicker and easier your way! Now it's hanging out in a nice sunny spot on our porch. We caught the gardening bug and did tomatoes and small flowers, too.
I've started growing my own veggies and fruits recently one reason is so that I can have a constant fresh flow. It's hard for me to go to the store every other day to buy fresh. Not to mention how expensive it is
I took a few bad strawberries and covered them in my planter outside, and the next year, they popped up. Now I'm getting nice strawberries off the plant!
The beige "seeds" that you see on the outside of the strawberry are actually the achene (the covering) of the tiny black seed inside. Achenes prevent the seeds from germinating. In addition, the strawberry pulp will increase disease development in culture, AND the "flesh" will contain compounds that prevent germination. If you want the best germination, then get the seeds out of the achene first. To do this, through your strawberry into a blender with water about 1/3 to 1/2 filled with water. Blend for a few second. Pour out liquid and pulp, leaving a couple hundred mL (A couple ounces of liquid at bottom of blender pitcher. Fill pitcher with liquid again, and slowly pour out pulp and liquid. After a few times, you will see the tiny black seeds, that are more dense than pulp and achenes, sitting at the bottom of the pitcher. Pour seeds on a paper towel. Pick seeds off paper towel. Plant in clean potting mix filled trays.
Oh wow I was just about to try his method but yours sounds more effective. I’m just looking for the fastest way though I already have a garden patch but I’m just trying to add more strawberries to it or I don’t know if I could just add seeds straight to the patch already
It’s much better if you cut them as you did and let the slices dry completely on a paper towel. 🧻 then rub away the seeds. I collect them in glass jars for next time. Enjoy strawberry. 🍓
You mention cold stratification, is it necessary? You mentioned keeping them in the fridge a while, can you accelerate that or get better results in the freezer?
For ALL Perennial plants (Strawberries, blueberries, etc) the seeds need cold stratification (winter like temperatures) - or else the majority of seeds won't begin to grow. Cold stratification increases the amount of seeds that grow by 80% - its the difference between getting 3 strawberry plants or getting 25 strawberry plants. Putting seeds in the freezer will not speed up the process - it will actually make the seeds begin to hibernate. In other words don't put seeds in the freezer - it will not cold stratify seeds. To cold stratify seeds put the seeds in the refrigerator between 40 to 30 degrees Celsius in a damp (slightly wet) paper towel for 1 - 2 months. Afterwards put the seeds in seed growing containers at room temperature in shade and they will begin to grow Once you cold stratify seeds you have a limited amount of time to plant those seeds (around 1 week) - the cold stratified seeds that aren't planted will die shortly afterwards and never grow.
The cold strat is to imitate winter, keeping them in your fridge is important, as the seeds are waiting for after winter to sprout. The longer you can keep them at 36-40 F the better, up to a couple months
I've done this method on the 15th April and started tiny leaves just after 3weeks. The wind destroyed our green house and my daughter scraped up the little starting pots' contents from our patio and put them on the windowsill then hoped for a miracle. It happened! Yeeey! ☺😍
Great video on how to regrow strawberries. I didn't know that you could do this, this is fantastic I'm going to do this. But I have a question is there certain time of the year in which you can plant strawberries this way? Or can this be done year-round provided you have sunshine?
We recently made a garden, my parents are growing cilantro and something else and I wanna grow garlic and strawberrys so we dont have to go to the store everytime
I haven't found any strawberry plants anywhere in my town. The nursery may have them but I'm not driving out that far. I am certainly going to try this. The patio is where I'll be hanging them. I like that idea as I won't have to get down on my knees to harvest. Easy 👍. Thank you!
I live in south georgia it gets mighty hot and humid in the summer months. When is the best time to plant the strawberry and do they need full sun or will they grow underneath a carport or something similar? I really want to try this. I love strawberries!
Fully grown strawberry plants need full sun to produce the most amount of fruit - with this they also need a lot of water so they don't dry out. When the strawberry is a tiny budding plant and still small they need shade
Yes but why go through that much time and labor to do that. One thing to remember though if you live in the USA. Any food products brought in are irradiated making any seeds worthless. Not sure how other countries do it so buy something grown in which ever country you live in so that won’t be an issue.
I plan on growing strawberries indoors In pots. What size pot is sufficient enough for a plant? How many plants can I plant in a 5gal. Bucket? I plan on using 5gal. wicking pots in my grow tent. Something smaller than a 5gal. bucket, what can I use ?
Do we have to plant again next year after the big winter with a lot of snow, under freezing temperatures?? Or if it's better to put the container inside for the winter?? Thanks!
Strawberries are perennial which means every year in spring they come back. We’re in Canada and have strawberry plants in the ground we planted last summer and this year they’ve doubled in size.
@@kare6878 when you get snow, throw some chicken poop on them...it will melt the snow, but you can get some huge strawberries and a lot of them...go easy
QuestionS: Can you use frozen strawberries? What is the best time of year to plant from seeds? My neighbor gifted me some delicious strawberries that she grew and I'd love to try to grow some! I just potted up a bunch using your method but just as a bit of insurance, I was thinking of maybe freezing a few to plant earlier next year.
@@Kboogie90 I went ahead and planted (from fresh, not frozen) using the method in video and figured I would keep in pots and bring in on our back porch for the winter if needed. I already have a bunch of tiny little plants coming up!!
My local Kroger grocery store carries a line of "Giant" brand strawberries and some of them are really HUGE. If I can get seeds of these growing am I going to have large strawberries, too? In other words, do the seeds carry the DNA of the plant or has this grower done something to force their plants to produce large berries? Thank you.
Just make sure the berries are Organic and grown in the USA so that you can be sure they haven't been irradiated. There are strawberries that are naturally large like that, as long as you make sure of the things I said above there's no reason why you can't grow giants too.
First time attempting. 4 days ago I tried this method but into an egg carton...well today I noticed 2 have some fuzz growing. Should I trash them and start over in a solo cup?
You should cut off a piece of the strawberry on a napkin leave it outside to dry for a few days and once it’s dry scrape off the seeds and plant it doesn’t need a layer of soil on top but you can add it if u want to
Guess wat I did I bought strawberries from a store because in fiji we do not have strawberry plant so I took three strawberries out placed it in a zipper lock bag and crushed them and made a small hole on it ,and took out all the seeds and planted them 1 months gone nothing happened hahahhaaa

How are your strawberry plants doing?
Thanks dude, I'm on the keto diet. My family never buys enough strawberries when they hit the store, might as well grow my own lol.
Hie is there any way I can contact you as I need to know some information about keto diet.

For everyone asking about mold, ground cinnamon can be used as a deterrent and a pesticide. Just sprinkle a bit on the surface of the soil
This is true!
I’ve tried this method and they stalled., never grew.. but I will keep trying.. gardening is rewarding! Thanks for sharing!
Strawberries are probably radiated beforehand. Try different brands. Try organics too.

@Tyler this is the method I saw for blueberry seeds from blueberries, also 🙂
Well won't you just blend apart?? It's useless then
Thank you so much for this video my son and i tried this and today we woke up to some sprouts!
If u don’t mind me asking how are they growing
🙌 success!! How long until you saw some sprouts, and how is your plant fairing???
I tried it two weeks ago and after one week the craws ate it🤣
Won't give up, gonna plant new ones now.
How'd the strawberries go, homie?
They actually started growing, there are many tiny strawberry plants with very small leaves now, and a lot of fruit flies!
Our daughter and I did this its going to be interesting to see how it grows
How did it go?
i just planted mine today. I am based in the UK and over here its spring time. Day 1 of planting so will feedback how i get on

We recently made a garden, my parents are growing cilantro and something else and I wanna grow garlic and strawberrys so we dont have to go to the store everytime
I'm making a garden at school so it will really help thanks
How long did you keep them in frig before planting?

HI how long does it take for germination? I planted similar to you 2-3 weeks ago in seedling dome and lights and still no germination ?
I live in south georgia it gets mighty hot and humid in the summer months. When is the best time to plant the strawberry and do they need full sun or will they grow underneath a carport or something similar? I really want to try this. I love strawberries!
I'm in georgia also and have the same questions.
@@08virgo26 Maybe we will get an answer
Fully grown strawberry plants need full sun to produce the most amount of fruit - with this they also need a lot of water so they don't dry out. When the strawberry is a tiny budding plant and still small they need shade
I use my empty coffee containers😂
WAIT that is so smart the k-pods?????
@@lilscrappy6496 you can use a cardboard egg container too. Cut the little sections when the seedlings are ready and plant it with the cup
Will it still work if you just take out the seeds without the flesh in them?
Yes but why go through that much time and labor to do that. One thing to remember though if you live in the USA. Any food products brought in are irradiated making any seeds worthless. Not sure how other countries do it so buy something grown in which ever country you live in so that won’t be an issue.
Just found you today, just enough information without wasted time
Thanks Jerry!!!
Do I need to start in the cups or can I just start with outside
That’s a cool looking knife
I plan on growing strawberries indoors
In pots. What size pot is sufficient enough for a plant?
How many plants can I plant in a 5gal. Bucket?
I plan on using 5gal. wicking pots in my grow tent.
Something smaller than a 5gal. bucket, what can I use ?
Can you complete them indoors if you have an apartment. I would like to grow some,but have no outdoor area
How big did the berries get when grown and how did they taste?
So when did you do the cold stratification?
Can I do this directly in the planter outside? Zone 7b
What is the best time for germinating staberries fall or early spring?
How often do you water them after this stage? :)
I want to know as well
Would you get the same results cutting it in half or just using the uneaten tops?
great question, the more fruit that is left on the more chances of mold. You want to thinly slice them
New subscriber love the video
Yay! Thank you!
I already planted mine and is growing but I’m kinda confused now cause I don’t know if it’s a strawberry plant or not😩 what can I do?
I'm new to ur channel! I'm going to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I'm trying this today
Very cool idea. We have so many strawberries right now, we are totally going to try and grow our own too.
Did you try it ?
Hello, I wanted to ask one question: how much time did it take for the strawberries to grow?
2 weeks and you will have sprouts
Do I need to wash the strawberries first?
Do we have to plant again next year after the big winter with a lot of snow, under freezing temperatures?? Or if it's better to put the container inside for the winter?? Thanks!
Strawberries are perennial which means every year in spring they come back. We’re in Canada and have strawberry plants in the ground we planted last summer and this year they’ve doubled in size.
Put them in unheated garage if they are in pots. Or put mulch around the pots and on top till spring is what I read.
@@kare6878 when you get snow, throw some chicken poop on them...it will melt the snow, but you can get some huge strawberries and a lot of them...go easy
Some people say that they sometimes mold, what should I do if they do?
So there is no need to dry out seeds before planting?
I tried this technique and i noticed that the strawberry started to mould. Does that process kill the germination process?
Hi! Enjoyed your video. Could you inform us please about the soil mix you used. I've used perlite & peat moss for propagating. Tks
any potting mix will do. Perlite in it is good for keeping pockes of air for the roots to establish
I am trying this soon. Thanks for sharing
How long did it takes to germinate
What do I do when my strawberries seeds start growing mold after being planted?
Unfortunately you need to toss the plant out and throw away that dirt - its most likely contaminated with fungal spores.
Next time aim for moist, not wet, and can add 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide per cup of water to help prevent mold.
Thank you !!!

Everytime I try to grow from raw fruit it molds. Even with light watering. Any tips for that?
Do we cover the pot/cup with ceram wrap when planting these seeds? And how often should we spritz it with water
no coverings needed, water as the soil dries but do not overwater to leave a standing puddle.
Why did I search this up at 2 am ._.
Mindset is everything

no, stay with it... dont water as often and see how the next week goes
yes
Keep going. The same happened with my tomatoes when I planted the seeds more or less the same way.
@Janelle any updates?
Great info. I ws just thinking wonder if that can be done. Thank you. New Sub.
What type of soil did you use
I just planted mine in the garden
They don’t get moldy?
After my seeds germinate, when they have three leaves, they turn yellow and dry, you know why
I tried your method and there were mold growing in the pots. Is that normal?
Mold is what happens in compost piles. Don't worry about it too much.
If it bothers you, just cover it with a thin layer of soil.
I tried this but my strawberry skins are covered with mold and there is no sign of germination. Any Suggestions Please
You should cut off a piece of the strawberry on a napkin leave it outside to dry for a few days and once it’s dry scrape off the seeds and plant it doesn’t need a layer of soil on top but you can add it if u want to
Thanks. That is what I did about 10 days ago and now am awaiting the sees to germinate
Great video. Cannot wait to see the results. 🍓
I'm considering planting my own
can i germinate seeds from frozen strawberries??
You can blueberries, so possibly
can you grow these in winter or fall?
Guess wat I did I bought strawberries from a store because in fiji we do not have strawberry plant so I took three strawberries out placed it in a zipper lock bag and crushed them and made a small hole on it ,and took out all the seeds and planted them 1 months gone nothing happened hahahhaaa
how come the seeds i planted are turning fuzzy on top?
So are you using garden soil only?. Please
potting mix
So how they say it cant grow this way on when you put the seed to dry in sun
Can I grow them during winter if they are in the house?
Yes

How often do you water them?? After 3 days mine grew mold ;_;
Interesting! Are all the strawberries you buy, viable? Do they produce true to the parent?
Yes, they have been viable!

what knife is that?
This is cool
Are these store bought strawberries?
Question please - Did you put drainage holes in the bottom of the started cups ? I didn't see you do that or say anything about it. Thank you
