Hi everyone, I’m a little new to gardening so I’m just asking for a little help. Can someone please tell me if my strawberry plant is healthy? And why has some of its leaves started to curl inwards Thank you

    They may be curling inward to conserve water from being under watered. If they are new this especially could be the case. A good watering should hopefully help, within a day or 2 they should start looking normal. Or maybe they need a little diluted fertilizer? I don’t know, I’d start with the easiest first and rule it out, and then just water when soil feels dry going forward.

      Thank you. Yes they are new and i planted them around 7 days ago. I’ll give them a good water and hopefully that works. Thank you for your help

      You’re welcome! Yes I think they will be fine. We used to have a huge garden of strawberries and these here looked better than most of ours, haha, and we had more strawberries than we could handle! 😄

    Unrelated to what you are asking, you have that potted up too low. The crown will die if it’s under the dirt. Google strawberry crowns if you need a visual.😊 Your plant looks healthy otherwise but it will die if you keep it buried.
