About the plant
The garden strawberry is a hybrid of two American wild strawberries that arose in 18th-century France. In a pot on a sunny balcony it fruits if it has plenty of light and regular watering; it sends out runners with young plants.

Fruit sets once insects (or a small brush) pollinate the flowers. In winter protect the pot so the roots do not freeze.
This is a rough guide for a flat in Poland. In flowers every plant also has its own watering interval, which learns from how the soil was.
