Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Check the soil moisture regularly and water deeply when the top inch feels dry. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during wetter periods.

Remove dead, damaged, or diseased leaves and runners promptly. Pinch off any flower stalks that appear in the first year to encourage stronger root development.

After the fruiting season, prune back any overgrown runners to maintain a tidy shape and prevent overcrowding, which can reduce airflow.

Cascades strawberries are easily propagated through runners. Once runners have developed small plantlets with roots, they can be carefully separated from the mother plant and transplanted into new pots or beds.

This typically occurs naturally during the growing season.

If grown in containers, repot every 1-2 years in early spring or fall. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with compost.

Ensure the crown of the plant is at soil level, not buried, to prevent rot.
