How to grow strawberries at home. Is it possible?

Strawberries are one of the first and most delicious berries of the summer season. This is a favorite delicacy of children and adults, and every gardener devotes a lot of time to growing this berry, both regular varieties and remontant ones. But lately, many people have been trying to capitalize on people’s love for this berry, constantly trying to sell seedlings of “climbing strawberries” that do not exist in nature or distribute books about technologies for growing strawberries in an apartment. Moreover, many authors teach how to grow strawberries at home, but not one has yet written that he succeeded. These attempts remind me of the famous saying that those who do not know how to do anything teach how to do something, and those who do not know how to teach teach how to teach.

Yes, you can sow seeds or plant mustaches at home, in some container, albeit in plastic bags, as recommended in some books. Strawberries are an evergreen plant, and they, of course, will not wither, but will grow. But how can it bloom? This requires certain temperature and light conditions, which are very difficult to maintain in an apartment, because it will no longer be an apartment, but a greenhouse, where strawberries, of course, will bloom, but what will a person’s life turn into? Could you live in a greenhouse?

Consider one more nuance when planning how to grow strawberries at home. Even if you managed to get it to bloom, then in order for the berries to set, the flowers need to be pollinated. Let’s even assume that you have chosen self-pollinating varieties in advance.All the same, you will have to either pollinate them with a brush, or turn on a fan to spread the pollen, or start a hive of bees in your apartment. It is clear that it is impossible to live with bees, a fan is extremely unreliable, and a brush cannot pollinate many flowers. So it turns out that growing strawberries at home, and even on an industrial scale, is just a myth, a scam for money.
