Sad day for Alpine Strawberry

So I started with 50 seeds in November 2013 and 80% of them sprouted.  Happy day.  All of the seedlings were sown in the flat terracotta pot placed in the shade - strawberries don't mind the shade. Then, bermula lah cerita... kucing cakar, ayam cakar, katak korek Tanah etc etc.. after which I would frantically fix and most of the time the strawberries would survive lah. After a few months, I transplanted the surviving strawberry plants in individual small baba pots - I think I initially had around 6-8 pots (out of the 40 sprouts hahaha)...

Gitu gini to make the story short, after almost 10 months, I am only left with 3 pasu. Tapi, strawberry akan beranak and now in each of the baba pot dah berpecah jadi 3 pokok.  Yesterday, one of the pots dah jadi macam ni...

And the culprit?  Sang siput babi.  Tak sangka siput babi berselera juga dengan daun strawberry.  So, I decided to take this particular plant ke dalam rumah. I am placing it by my window sill.  Walaupun sang siput dah makan most of the leaves, the crown is still intact.  And it seems that one new leaf is coming out.  Keeping my fingers crossed - I hope it will recover.

The other two pots?  Alhamdulillah, so far so good.
