Here’s a general guide on how to grow strawberries, which you can apply to Fragaria ‘Calinda’ if it is indeed a strawberry variety:

1. Climate: Strawberries typically thrive in temperate climates. They can be grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-10.

2. Sunlight: Plant strawberries in a location with full sunlight for at least 6 hours per day.

3. Soil: Provide well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is crucial to prevent waterlogged roots.

4. Planting: Plant strawberry crowns or seedlings in the early spring or late summer. Space them about 12-18 inches apart.

5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Strawberries prefer even moisture, especially during the growing season.

6. Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer before planting and again after the first harvest. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to more foliage and fewer fruits.

7. Mulching: Apply a layer of straw or mulch around the plants to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and keep the berries clean.

8. Runners: Strawberries produce runners. You can allow some of these runners to establish new plants for the next season, or trim them to focus the plant’s energy on fruit production.

9. Pruning: Remove old leaves and trim runners as needed. This helps maintain plant vigor and improves air circulation.

10. Harvesting: Harvest strawberries when they are fully ripe. Pick them with a bit of the stem attached to avoid damage.

11. Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for pests like slugs, snails, and birds. Protect plants from diseases by providing good air circulation.

12. Winter Care: Mulch around the plants in late fall to protect them during the winter months, especially in colder climates.

13. Container Growing: Strawberries can be grown in containers. Ensure the container has drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.
