Planting & Care Instructions

1. Placement: Position the lingot in a well‑lit area with indirect sunlight. If using grow lights, maintain a light cycle of 12–14 hours per day.
2. Watering: Water lightly after placement to moisten the substrate. Continue watering when the top layer feels dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
3. Temperature & Humidity: Ideal growth temperature ranges from 18–24 °C (65–75 °F). Maintain humidity around 60% for optimal fruit development.
4. Fertilization: The organic blend supplies initial nutrients. After the first flush of fruit, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every two weeks to support continued production.
5. Pest Management: Monitor for common indoor pests such as aphids or spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary; avoid chemical pesticides to preserve organic integrity.
6. Harvesting: Pick strawberries when they are fully red and slightly soft to the touch. Harvest regularly to encourage new fruit production.
