How to Care for an Eggling Wild Strawberry - Grow Your Own Strawberries
Watering Eggling Wild Strawberry - grow your own strawberries
Healthy growth starts with proper watering. Water your Eggling Wild Strawberry moderately, keeping the soil slightly moist but not soaking wet. Too little water leads to wilting, while too much can cause root rot. Ideally, use a fine-mesh watering can or an Elho 1.5 L watering can for precise dosing.
Light Eggling Wild Strawberry - grow your own strawberries
These strawberry plants love bright, indirect light. Place your Eggling Wild Strawberry in a bright east- or west-facing window, away from the harsh midday sun. Too little light will delay flowering and fruit development, while too much sunlight can burn the leaves. Want to give your plants some extra support?

Common Problems with Eggling Wild Strawberry - Grow Your Own Strawberries
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves are often caused by a nutrient deficiency or irregular watering. Ensure you're watering regularly and use a light, balanced fertilizer. Consider using a 5L potting soil for aroids or a general-purpose potting soil from our potting soil and accessories collection to improve the soil structure. Refresh the topsoil as needed to optimize nutrient uptake.
Plant has started dripping
If your plant is dripping water, this is guttation. This occurs when humidity is high and the roots push out excess water. Guttation is not a sign of disease, but rather that the plant is actively absorbing water. Ensure good air circulation around your Eggling Wild Strawberry and limit the use of plant sprays, such as our plant mister .
Plagues
Spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids sometimes find strawberry plants attractive. Check your leaves weekly and remove visible insects with a damp cloth. For persistent pests, you can use organic sticky traps to repel fungus gnats . Mist your plants with water, and if in doubt, contact us for advice via our FAQ page .
Carrots are coming out from underneath
When roots emerge from the bottom of the egg, it's time to repot your strawberry plant. Choose a well-draining pot and fill it with airy potting soil. For example, use our 5 L potting soil for aroids or a mix with perlite from the perlite page . Repot as soon as the pot fills up to avoid hindering root growth.
Brown edges on leaves
Brown, drying edges often indicate low humidity or excessive heat. Avoid dry drafts from radiators or stoves, and don't place your Eggling Wild Strawberry near a heater. Increase the humidity by regularly misting your plants or placing a bowl of water on the radiator. See our tips under " 5 tips for increasing humidity in your home ."
