Strawberry or strawberry stolons is one of the modes of reproduction of this crop. Unlike other forms of propagation, reproduction by stolon is very interesting both for this one and for other crops that allow it, such as mint, tarragon and other plants. Both in the case of strawberries and these plants, they are aerial runners, while there is reproduction by underground runners such as nutsedges, yams or potatoes, among other crops.

Strawberry plants or strawberry runners for reproduction
The strawberry or strawberry is a crop that should not be missing in our urban garden. It is also a plant very well suited to be grown in shady areas of the balcony or garden, so you will surely enjoy its fruits with a little care. We planted strawberries in our urban orchard at the end of winter and summer comes the time to get more strawberry plants to give as gifts or to plant in successive years.
But, as we said and the reason why you are reading this article today is that one of the qualities of the strawberry is that it can be easily reproduced at home, in order to have many more plants and increase our production without having to spend money on or the time it takes to start cultivation from scratch.
The runners of the strawberry plant are like small aerial branches that come out of the strawberry plants. They are usually quite long and at the end they start to grow new shoots with leaves, which would be the new plants. These stolons, if they landed on the ground, would eventually take root and form a new plant. This is one of the most common means of breeding strawberries.
How and when to cut strawberry runners
As a rule, mother plants will take us out several runners strawberry, it is important to know that if you do not want to reproduce the strawberry because you are not interested in having new plants, or simply because there are a lot of runners, you still have to cut them so that the plant can concentrate more on producing the fruit. This care and other strawberries are always very interesting to consider when growing this fruit.
I leave you with the video so you can see step by step in a simple and effective way how we can get more strawberries. In addition, whenever I can, I water them with liquid worm humus, so that they quickly form new strong roots: in this way, if we do not want more plants at home or in the garden, we can give a lot of new plants to friends or relatives.
