Ever-bearing Basket Strawberry 'Roman' F1 / 'Gasana' F1

Sowing method: Sowing is possible from early January until the end of March for fruits the same year, and from April-July for harvest the following year; sow at a temperature of 22°C (20-25°C). Sowing medium: cocopeat with silver sand, sieve the top layer with a kitchen sieve to get extra fine soil. After spreading the fine seeds, press them lightly and sieve a very thin layer of the aforementioned sowing soil over the seeds. Keep moist by misting with water, do not make it too wet and do not place it in direct sunlight. If no germination is visible after 4 weeks, the seed tray can be placed in the refrigerator for 1 day, then returned to 22°C. Transplant the seedlings when the first true leaf has appeared (usually after 4-6 weeks). Harden off the plants sufficiently before planting them in the garden or containers. Regular fertilization is necessary, but over-fertilization is harmful!
