Bees and Other Pollinators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/spring-care-for-strawberry-plants-3-step-pruning-guide\/\">strawberry plants<\/a> are technically self-pollinating, they still rely on bees and other pollinators to help them produce the best possible fruit. Bees are particularly important because they are able to transfer pollen from one flower to another, which leads to cross-pollination and better fruit quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1843-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other pollinators, such as butterflies and moths, can also help with pollination, but they are not as effective as bees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/do-sunflowers-attract-bees\/\">attract bees<\/a> and other pollinators to your strawberry plants, you can plant flowers that they are attracted to, such as marigolds, lavender, and sunflowers. You should also avoid using pesticides and other chemicals that can harm bees and other pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1848.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1848.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1848-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1848-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important factors that affects pollination is temperature. Strawberry plants prefer temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, to grow flowers. The more flowers the plant grows, the more likely it will be that they are pollinated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-plants_1841-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sunlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that your strawberry plants are properly spaced and that they receive enough sunlight. If the plants are too close together or if they are not getting enough sunlight, they will not produce as many flowers and will grow less fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1845.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1845.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1845-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1845-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Pesticides and chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using pesticides and chemicals can kill off pollinating insects. Avoid using pesticides to keep bees, moths and other pollinating insects around. This will increase the rate of pollination on your strawberry plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Plant number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/can-you-plant-strawberries-and-tomatoes-together\/\">strawberry plants you grow close together<\/a>, the more likely they will be to pollinate each other. Increasing the number of flowers nearby will give insects more flowers to feed from and help to increase the rate of pollination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can plant the same variety of different strawberry vanities together. Plant them close enough together so the bees can easily find the flowers.  Aim for between 12-18 inches between plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1842.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1842.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1842-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strawberry-plants_1842-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Increase Pollination in Strawberry Plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to ensure optimal pollination of your strawberry plants, you have two main options: hand pollination or attracting pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hand Pollination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand pollination is the process of manually transferring pollen from the male stamen to the female pistil of the same flower or within the genetically identical flowers of the same plant. This can be done using a cotton swab or a small paintbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-leaves-turning-yellow-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-leaves-turning-yellow-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-leaves-turning-yellow-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/strawberry-leaves-turning-yellow-5-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To hand pollinate your strawberry plants, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Identify the male stamen of the flower. This is the part of the flower that contains the pollen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently touch the cotton swab or paintbrush to the stamen to collect some pollen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the pollen to the female pistil of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand pollination should be done every other day during the blooming period for most varieties of strawberry plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Attracting Pollinators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option to ensure pollination in your strawberry <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-plant-bee-friendly-seeds-easy-guide\/\">plants is to attract pollinators such as bees<\/a>, butterflies, ladybugs, hoverflies, beetles, and thrips. These insects are attracted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/strawberry-plants-with-red-flowers-grow-guide\/\">flowers of the strawberry plant<\/a> and will help with the pollination process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To attract pollinators to your strawberry plants, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/do-you-mulch-before-or-after-planting-flowers\/\">Plant flowers<\/a> that attract pollinators nearby, such as lavender, marigolds, or sunflowers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using pesticides or insecticides that may harm pollinators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide a source of water for pollinators to drink from, such as a shallow dish with rocks for them to land on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these tips, you can ensure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/do-strawberries-produce-the-first-year\/\">strawberry plants are pollinated and will produce<\/a> a successful harvest of delicious strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sunflower_0822-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strawberry plants are self-pollinating but may require pollinators like bees for successful fertilization. For indoor plants use a small brush to move pollen from one flower to another. Remember that the weather, insects, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/do-strawberry-plants-need-full-sun\/\">planting location can affect pollination so give the plants full sun<\/a> and avoid pesticides for the best chance of growing loads of fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do strawberry plants need pollinators to produce fruit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, strawberry plants require pollination to produce fruit. While they are technically self-pollinating, they still rely on bees and other pollinators to help them produce the best possible fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do strawberry plants get pollinated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of rain and wind, pollen can be moved from the male to the female parts of the flower. Bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and beetles can also pollinate the flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some common pollinators for strawberry plants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bees are particularly important pollinators for <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/strawberry-companion-plants-best-vegetables-herbs-flowers\/\">strawberry plants because they are able to transfer pollen from one flower<\/a> to another, which leads to cross-pollination and better fruit quality. Other pollinators include butterflies, hoverflies, and beetles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you hand pollinate strawberry plants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can hand pollinate strawberry plants. This can be done by using a small brush or cotton swab to transfer pollen from the male to the female parts of the flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if strawberry plants aren&#8217;t pollinated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If strawberry plants aren&#8217;t pollinated, they will not produce fruit. Lack of complete pollination in each pistil (female flower part) can result in smaller or misshapen berries, meaning reduced yield of marketable fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do all varieties of strawberry plants require pollination?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, all varieties of strawberry plants require pollination to produce fruit. Heavy pollination increases the overall yield of strawberry plants, and cross-pollination leads to decreased deformations and an overall higher-quality aesthetic. Cross-pollination results in larger overall strawberries than self-pollination or same-variety pollination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strawberry plants have both male and female parts so can self-pollinate.
