Method to Reproduce Strawberries (Cambodia)

Method to Reproduce Strawberries in Pots

Sharing my successful experience of around five years with planting strawberries in Cambodia, I can say that growing strawberries in Cambodia's weather is challenging. The ideal temperature range for strawberries is 25 to 30°C. They need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

Strawberries grow well in compost-rich, loamy soil with excellent drainage. They should not be planted in frost conditions. It's important to maintain moderate humidity levels to prevent fungal diseases and promote healthy growth.

Natural Mushroom (Khmer called "Phset Kanhcho")

 Natural Mushroom - Known in Khmer as Phset Kanhcho

Based on experiences, this type of mushroom, known in Khmer as Phset Kanhcho (Kanhcho Mushroom), that is growing in Cambodia. It thrives in soil with termite nests and moisture, typically from late August to October. 

 

They are most commonly found in piles of earth heaped up by termites. There are three species: (1) Kanhcho Dom Bok, (2) Kanhcho Pong, and (3) Kanhcho Angkam. 

 

This mushroom is a favorite food for Khmer farmers, who use it to make soup, fry it, mix it with ingredients and Prahok (a salted and fermented fish paste), then roast it. You will clearly understand how to make soup by watching the video at the link: Natural Mushroom (Khmer)
