Q&A – Can I avoid verticillium wilt by growing my strawberries in pots?

Question:
Can I avoid verticillium wilt by growing my strawberries in pots?
​​
Answer:

Verticillium is a fungus that lives in the soil. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says potting soil does not contain the verticillium. If you plant your strawberries in pots with potting soil, they will not get verticillium wilt.
