When strawberry plants arrive, check the bundles. If they appear dry, moisten roots slightly and store in refrigerator in the plastic bag in which they were shipped. Do not put in a container of water. If storage conditions are not available or if you need to hold them longer than 10 days, the plants should be heeled in. This can be done in a container or the garden. Make a shallow trench, spread the bundles out in a single layer, with only the crown exposed and cover with damp potting soil, peat moss, or sawdust. Generally plants can be kept this way 14-16 days if roots remain moist.
