First a little background: I planted Ozark Beauty and Tribute strawberries (bare root) in a planter just like your "Strawberrybush Garden". I filled the planter with Pro Mix and some compost as was recommended by the manufacturer of the tower. The plants began leafing and looked healthy. They started to flower and produce runners. I've been pinching off the flowers and the runners. I fertilized them once after they started leafing. The Question: Recently, I've noticed some of the stems and leaves turning red. They eventually dry up and die. I've been trimming off the red leaves and my once healthy, leafy plants now look pretty sparse. Do you know what's causing this? What can I do to cure it? |
