Hi Rita,

The spider mites probably did drain a lot of energy from the plants. I would make sure the plants are bug free and give them a little fertilizer to give them a boost.

If the leaves are quite brown remove the dead parts of the plant. They will only attract more disease.

Good luck with indoor gardening and plants. Denise

The tips on the leaves on my strawberry plants are brown, fuzzy and dried up. We had spider mites and are working on clearing that up. Would it cause the brown leaf tips as well? Thanks for any advice. We are new to indoor gardening.

Hey that’s some great information on the everbearing strawberries. I just planted 8 strawberry plants last week in a raised triangular brick formation in front of my house and some of them have come up already, but I too had 2 extra root systems. So I tried planting them in my front window, Southern exposure, And I placed A grow light some 14 inches or so from the soil level, and those two strawberry plants have already turned to five plants. The first of my sprouts is a good 3 inches wide already, I’m quite amazed at how fast they have grown, being as it is that I have never grown strawberry plants in my life.

[...] If you would like to try growing strawberries indoors you need to make sure you have proper lighting and good soil. My first article explains how to get started with proper lighting and soil. I plan on using hanging baskets for my plants with the strawberry runners being overwintered in a greenhouse.
