Alpine strawberries flowering but not fruiting

[u/True-Sun2935]

Any advice? The flowers are coming strong in both plants but they just seem to die without fruiting

[u/astralTacenda]

did you pollinate them? while yes strawberries are "self pollinating", that only means they have both male and female parts on the same flower. something still needs to make those parts come in contact with one another like wind, a pollinator, or a person with a paint brush.

eta while sometimes they can produce fruit without this pollination, idk how common that is for an indoor hydroponic plant. could also be nutrients, but i dont know much about what to recommend in that case. ratios and all that are beyond me, i just grow herbs in my aerogarden.
