Will adventitious roots grow on the stems of wild strawberries? Can you elaborate on it?

The main root of wild strawberry is conical, and many adventitious roots grow on the side. Adventitious roots grow on the short stems of wild strawberries, which can better fix the plants during the continuous growth of wild strawberries. Adventitious roots will grow within 30 cm of the soil. These adventitious roots are similar to the roots of carrots. A wild strawberry has about 20 primary roots.

The root system of wild strawberry is composed of adventitious roots, which can make strawberry plants more firmly fixed, absorb water from the soil and provide the application components needed by wild strawberry, so the development of adventitious roots directly affects the quality and yield of wild strawberry.

The root system of wild strawberry is very shallow in the soil, generally in the place of twenty or thirty centimeters on the surface, and the new adventitious roots grow white. With the gradual aging of adventitious roots, the color of adventitious roots will change from white to brown, and finally they will turn black and die. The life span of wild strawberry primary roots is usually only about one year. If there are many strawberries on the plant, the life span of the primary roots will be shortened.

After the primary roots grow to a certain thickness, they don't thicken, and then they stop growing. After the roots turn brown, some lateral roots will grow, and after the primary roots turn black completely, they will no longer grow lateral roots. The new stems that grew that year will become rhizomes the next day, and the fibrous roots will gradually age and wither. At this time, new roots will grow from the above rhizomes to replace the dead old rhizomes.

The root system of wild strawberry grows in the whole growth period, and the root system has two or three growth peaks a year, the first in spring and the second in late autumn. In early spring, the roots will grow ten days earlier than the aboveground parts. As long as the temperature reaches two degrees, the roots will begin to grow. This time, the white wintering roots will grow. After the temperature rises gradually, inflorescences on the ground will begin to appear, and new roots will grow in the underground part. As long as the temperature is stable at about 15 degrees, the roots will reach the growth peak.
