🪴 How to Grow Strawberries Indoors:
✅ Light
Strawberries need 6–8 hours of bright, direct light daily. A sunny windowsill may work, but most indoor growers benefit from using a full-spectrum grow light to ensure consistent fruiting.

✅ Soil
For best results, use a light, nutrient-rich, and well-draining compost.

✅ Watering

Or use a small paintbrush to transfer pollen between blooms
