Strawberry Runners: Water the Mother, Not the Daughters

New strawberry planting with granddaughter. Asks: water runners or original plant?

Answer: Water the Parent Plant Only

Runners draw nutrients/water from mother.
Once mother dies (2‑3 years), rooted runners survive independently.

Simple: tend the crown; let runners root on their own.
