Soak the roots in water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where the leaves emerge) is at soil level. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest. Remove runners to encourage fruit production, or allow them to root for new plants. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch over plants in winter to protect crowns from freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Chandler Strawberry Plants (live bare root).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836023079222,"sku":"FOLIA2-1878","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7282568851_mooz.jpg?v=1793097450","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/12-chandler-strawberry-plants-live-bare-root-june-bearing-fragaria-ananassa","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
