Seascape Everbearing Strawberry Bare Roots Plants, 25 per Pack, Hardy Plants Non GMO

I decided to do some experimenting with these. Planted most outdoors, and 6 indoors in an aerogarden. The ones outside had half with basil as a companion, and the other half had chive. Every single root germinated and started off well. I unfortunately got root rot on the hydroponic ones but was able to save and salvage some of them and now they are thriving. For the ones that didn't make it, I was able to propagate the runners to replace them in the aerogarden. The goal of the experiment was to figure out if indoor or outdoor would produce a healthier/better strawberry. Outcome: The outdoor plants had direct sun for several hours a day, plus indirect. They grew large with some leaves the size of my hand. They grew a lot of flowers, attracted the bees and butterflies, grew some really good looking berries, then some birds or squirrels got them so I only managed to try a few so far. We also experienced a heat wave which really didnt help either the basil or strawberries. They are still producing right now. The companion plants definitely made a difference. I think the basil competed too much with the strawberry and they didn't get quite as big as the chive plant. The ones with the chive definitely appear healthier and larger overall. The indoor started off well, then went downhill fast. I was surprised any survived the root rot, which I blame myself for. The indoor survivors actually look the healthiest and happiest out of all the plants. There are currently 14 strawberries growing on 1 plant alone right now, with more flowers sprouting. The runners are still growing and haven't started flowering yet but they will soon and I will have strawberries all year! Due to the setback I haven't gotten my first ripe berry yet from the indoor. SOON!!! Overall, these bare roots came in excellent condition, they all germinated and produced healthy plants with delicious berries and I definitely recommend them! If you decide to grow outdoors and want to grow with a companion plant, chive gave me great results.

Over the past year I've been tinkering with hydroponics and aeroponics, trying different setups, towers, diy configurations, teaching myself how to do an indoor setup. I tried germinating strawberries and had no luck and a relative suggested buying roots. I found Seascape with just an Amazon search and considering the price figured I'd give it a try. This is the third or fourth time I've bought roots and every time they grow like crazy. I've never had a bad batch. Any time I need roots this is where I'm going to get them.

These are pretty developed. They are already taken off. (In the picture I cut 1/3 of the roots off to fit my cups.) 10/10 for value.

Very pleased with this produce. They came packaged just as stated. I soaked the stems in water for 20-30 minutes and then planted. The stems are growing nicely. We are almost at the three week mark and already starting to flower. Would purchase again and would recommend

Very impressed. Arrived bundled and easy to divide. Moist with well established roots and good start to plant body.

These guys are flourishing in the hydroponic environment! Thanks to the seller I get to enjoy fresh strawberries in January!

Sprouts were already beginning when I opened it. Good quality plants! UPDATE: most of the strawberry leaves just shrivel up after what looks like promising growth. A few small berries produced out of so many sprouts. I don’t advise using hanging baskets. Too many variables (heat, wind) and no stability. Give it a custom mix of soils for more success.. Watch pH and nitrogen levels.

What can I say? These things show up looking like they've been sitting in a plastic wrapper for a few days, which they have. But it's fine- I got them in the ground and they're already looking great. From what I remember, the shipping didn't come in very exact, which is a slight issues since I'm out of town occasionally and I didn't want them to sit around, but overall they're great and I plan to buy again next year. (You don't have to redo them every year but it does push up yields).
