Lateral crown are plant growth at base of Strawberry plants, some strawberry plants will grow these naturally and other variety will produce these if runners are pruned.

From my trial, these lateral crown emerge about two to three months after I planted runners to pots.

Like runners, these lateral crown are genetically same as the parent plant and this is one way of propagating strawberry plant quickly.

However unlike runners, where once independent they can be easily separated from parent plant by cutting the stolon.

In the case of lateral crown, the entire strawberry plant cluster and the crowns are separated from parent rhizomes by carefully cutting it off. This process takes practice and could kill the mother plant if not done correctly.

It is good to have more than one crown in a pot, this will maximized the growing area and a normal practice for strawberry grower to do.

Below more photos of lateral crown at various stages of growth.

The 15 mm StrainerBell siphon has manage to reduce water inflow to growbed hence pump power required is less, it is now possible to make a low cost solar set up due to this. Price of solar panels and its equipment can be less if power requirement is below 20 to 30 watt.

Above diagrams is a simple setup which make use of the 15 mm StrainerBell siphon in a media base flood & drain  growbed over a fish tank and the following components;

1. 12V/24V 3A/5A Charge Controller
2. 12 VDC 5 watt DC Submersible pump
3. 20 ~ 30 watt Solar Panels
4. Battery

Item 1 ~ 3 total cost should not be more than USD 50.00 ~ 60.00 as in ebay, but the battery will be subjective either new or used.

Excess power from the solar panels is stored to the battery for over night use, the pump and charge controller estimated current requirement is less than 1/2 ampere at 12 volts DC.
