Planted my strawberries in hanging baskets about 1 week ago.

All doing well apart from 2 plants whose leaves are wilting - could this be verticillium?  I'm not sure if it is as my other plants in the same basket haven't been affected.

Any advice?

Could be a number of things: -

First and most obvious thing is to check they have not dried out as they like plenty of water.

Could be Verticillium wilt which is a virus and difficult to manage.

Could be vine weevil eating the roots. If it is there will be small white grubs in the soil / roots. I get these pests occasionally  but generally in overwintered pot plants.

Could be something else that others may be able to advise on.

are the plants getting dried in the wind more than the others

Thanks - yes they could be getting dried more in the wind.

I have given them a good water tonight so I'll see how they are by the weekend
