**Use Quality Soil**: Go for a high-quality potting mix that retains moisture but drains well. You can also mix in some compost for extra nutrients.

**Pick the Right Variety**: Some strawberry varieties are better for pots, like everbearing or day-neutral types. They produce fruit throughout the season!

**Water Regularly**: Strawberries need consistent moisture, especially in pots. Check the soil often and water when the top inch feels dry.

**Watch for Pests**: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids or spider mites. If you spot any, you can use insecticidal soap or neem oil to get rid of them.
