Strawberry plants will spread and grow baby plants by sending out horizontal stems. These stems will have small plants which will root in the soil when the stem reaches the full length. These baby strawberry plants can be pinned down to help them to settle into the soil. This can happen in the first year you plant your new strawberry plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Strawberry plants that are grown from runners will be genetically the same as the mother plant so will grow the same type of strawberries. Once the plant has established its roots in the soil, the stem will die off and can be snipped to separate the plant completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
