Several months ago I brought some Strawberry plants, Fragaria ananassa from Tanumalala to Alafua to propagate them from their runners. At first I was not sure if they would grow but after keeping them in semi shade and close by so I could keep an eye on them they proved hardy enough and I moved them to the shade house with all my other plants where some started sending out runners which I rooted by simply placing a planting bag filled with soil under the new plantlet and just letting them do their thing.
