- In saplings with a closed root system, the roots must fill the entire container.
When and where to plant the berry
Professional gardeners recommend planting acquired seedlings as soon as possible. It can be stored for 2 days, only in the near ground state, with constant maintenance of the moisture of the earth.
Before planting, seedlings are sorted, removing all weak and diseased sprouts. Long roots are cut to a length of 10 cm. For proper planting choose sprouts with at least 5 leaves and juicy roots 4 cm long.
The beds are recommended to be placed on low wet places. The land should be light, with no high carbonate content. The soil is treated before the formation of beds. Then they dig everything up, pour it over and cover it with agrofilm. After you can start landing.
This variety is most often planted in early spring, sometimes right after the snow has melted. 
You can also do this at the end of the summer, from mid-August until the end of September. Before planting, strawberry seedlings are quenched for several days at a temperature of 10 degrees, and then the roots are dipped in a clay talker (they take clay and pour water a centimeter higher), which will not allow the roots to dry out.
Planted bushes in wet ground. The weather is better to choose cloudy, otherwise the land is recommended to mulch immediately after watering.
Important! When planting seedlings, it is necessary to ensure that the upper bud is above the ground. Otherwise, the strawberry will die. All roots during landing align and press to the ground.
Scheme of planting seedlings in open ground
When growing "Clery" in industrial volumes, planting is carried out with lines, the distance between bushes should be 30 cm, and between rows 45 cm. This will help to provide normal care for each plant, and the bushes will not interfere with each other. This method is the most popular. Even strawberries can be planted in a single-line and two-line method. The distance between the rows makes 30 cm. The beds are located from north to south. 
How to care for the variety

Strawberries do not tolerate flooding. You can water from a watering can, a hose or creating drip irrigation.
In areas where drought is possible, the beds are abundantly watered once a week. The water temperature should be at least 18 degrees. Subsequent mulching will prevent excessive evaporation of moisture. It is necessary to remove weeds, as in all other cases, as they appear, it is better to remove them immediately with roots. 
Fertilization
Garden strawberries are very responsive to top dressing. This will increase yields, besides make the berries larger and sweeter. Most often, "Clery", like other plants, fertilize 4 times.
The first time - immediately after the snow melt. Make complex microfertilizers. You can use foliar fertilizer, which consists of boric acid, ammonium and potassium permanganate. Each component is taken in the amount of 2 g. All diluted in 10 liters of water.

You can pick up mulch at the end of the summer, after picking berries.
Pest and disease treatment
To combat aphids, a sign of an attack which is wilting of the plant or twisting the leaves, use garlic infusion: 100 g of garlic and onions, 75 g of dandelions and 5 liters of water. You can also use a sprinkle of soap and water. To prepare it, take 30 g of soap and a small bucket of water.
