# My strawberry plant is suddenly very sad :( I bought the two baby…

My strawberry plant is suddenly very sad :(

I bought the two baby plants last week, and immediately repotted. It was very warm, so I had the pot on my balcony in full sun (low temps were around 50F). It rained last Friday, but my strawberries were due for a water anyway. Immediately after the rain, it got cold, so I brought the strawberry inside where she’s now a few feet away from a south facing window. It’s definitely less light than the balcony, but still quite bright.

The day after the rain, one of the baby plants is all wilted :( I haven’t done anything to the plant since the soil has been slowly drying out (the top inch is currently dry, and then it’s still damp beneath that). The other baby plant in the same pot is doing great, and I just found a new flower. Every single thing has been identical for the care for these strawberries, they have been in the same pot since I got them.

Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix? I know the pot is a bit large, but I added quite a bit of extra perlite to the potting soil (it’s an indoor potting soil) as well as a layer around 4 inches thick on the bottom of the pot of just perlite.

As a side note, it’s still pretty cold outside (so she’s been in my south facing window since the cold rain) and Planta says strawberries can be placed outside in pots starting in April in my area.

it looks like it needs a good drink!  
as far as i know these guys like staying pretty moist, though it could also be the temperature changes stressing it

Watered her a couple hours ago and she looks way better already! I will just need to find a good balance where I don’t underwater or overwater either strawberry if they’re going to have different demands on me. I might just have to go get them their own pots lol
