Yes, you can split a strawberry plant, and this is a method of propagation.
Dividing Strawberry Plants
Dividing strawberry plants involves separating the crowns of a mature plant into individual plants. The reference from GrowVeg.com explains that a strawberry plant's crown can naturally split, producing multiple crowns.
How to Divide a Strawberry Plant:
- Identify a suitable plant: Look for a mature strawberry plant with multiple crowns that have naturally begun to split.
- Carefully separate the crowns: Gently pull the crowns apart, ensuring each division has its own root system.
- Pot the divisions: Pot each separated crown into its own container to grow on.
- Replant: Once the new plants are established, replant them in their final location.
By following these steps, you can effectively propagate new strawberry plants from a single, mature plant.
