All tucked up in its new pot. Seeds in the other compartments. I'm going to get a stand for that pot to keep the strawberries off the ground when the plant gets bigger.

A second pink-flowered strawberry plant, just in case. This one already has fruit on it. 😃💖

@ukjohnny Haha! They don't want you to miss it, do they? 😂👍

@ukjohnny I bet you'd need a second person to help you carry it! 😂

Start giving a weekly dose of a weak solution of liquid fertiliser while it's fruiting.

@brightcolours Thanks! I will. ☺

And you'll be repotting it?

@brightcolours Yes, I've already got it in a bigger pot. Pics tomorrow. 👍

👌🏼😊

Uh-oh. 😔😢😭 #heatdamage

And more hot weather on the way... 😕

Soak it in a bucket of water with some seasol (or similar) added.

@brightcolours Thank you! I hope I can save it, it was the last one with pink flowers at the shop.

Cut the leaves off and soak till the bubbles stop rising and leave a further 20 mins.

@brightcolours Thanks!

@brightcolours what is seasol ?🤔and is this for any overheated plants or certain types? Putting tips in my garden notebook.🤔😯

@purplebird Seaweed solution. It puts good bacteria in the soil. Good for heat damage, preventing transplant shock and just giving a boost sometimes. Seasol is a brand name for a kind of liquid seaweed solution in Australia. ☺

Well explained Cassie! @kittenflower

@brightcolours I've been a Seasol fan since Burke's Backyard. 😉

Michelle: Kelpak would be an equivalent. www.kelpak.com/@purplebird - www.seasol.com.au/products/61/Seasol

This strawberry plant gets pink flowers, which I'm looking forward to seeing! It looks a bit sad now, but it had a long bus trip home.

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓👌🏼

Pink flowers😮

@roswel It still looks a bit sick from our bus trip home, but I'm hoping I can get it better and see some 🌸
