Bought a strawberry plant back in March. It did well at first, even a few small berries, but has just gone stagnant since.

I upsized the pot just once, nipped most of the flowers as recommended to encourage growth.

I’ve not seen one new bud or even a runner since the first few weeks of having it.

Photos 1 and 2 from today and photos 3/4 from when I bought it.

Hickory MS 8b

I have some that I need to get in the soil. Have you fertilized?
