The place should have a sufficient amount of sunshine, not have a lot of strong and cold winds, the acid level should be average in the ground. This variety is not a lover of very wet lands, we recommend creating a drainage layer.

The planting time of seedlings directly affects the rate of fruiting of the plant. When planting in the spring season, you should not even wait for good berries, only a couple of peduncles.

For abundant fruiting of Jolie strawberries, you should plant them in the summer season, the sooner the better. When using the whiskers obtained from their own bush with strawberries, planting is carried out at the end of the last summer month or at the beginning of the first autumn month. It is important that the bush is able to develop buds before the start of the winter season.

Plant pre-purchased seedlings at the beginning of the second summer month or at the beginning of the third summer month.

Prepare the area for garden strawberries well in advance. Place a small layer of humus or any other fertilizer on the ground, then dig the soil to a depth of about twenty-five centimeters. Prepare the landing pits.

Remember that the plant branches strongly, so the distance between the bushes should be twenty-five to thirty centimeters. Usually, there are four to five bushes of garden strawberries per square meter.

The earthen lump should be placed in the planting hole along with the seedling, cover it gently with non-wet soil and press down lightly. After all this, moisten the soil and mulch under the bush, such as peat, straw or sawdust.

Transplanting or initial cultivation under a dense film, in a greenhouse or greenhouse will help to harvest faster.

What is the care of Jolie strawberries:

Apply mineral and organic fertilizers to the ground in the process of flowering and fruiting, from about the second spring month. Chlorosis (disease) is formed on strawberries with a lack of nutrients, we recommend using mullein, ash, humus.
