Strawberries are one of the best plants to grow in containers, and they even do well indoors. All they need is a sunny spot where they can get at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day. If you don't have a sunny enough window for them, you can be supplemented with artificial sunlight. To get the best results, you will need to choose the right type of strawberry and plant it correctly. When planting strawberries in a container, choose a light colored container to avoid over heating the soil the summer sun.
