1. A method for cultivating strawberry in a closed environment in which a cultivation environment including temperature is adjusted by an environment adjusting device, the method comprising:
a first step of germinating a strawberry seed by controlling the environment adjusting device so that the cultivation environment is at a first temperature;
a second step of growing a strawberry seedling germinated by controlling the environment adjusting device so that the cultivation environment is at a second temperature;
a third step of further growing the strawberry seedling to cause a terminal flower cluster to flower by controlling the environment adjusting device so that the cultivation environment is at a third temperature lower than the first temperature and the second temperature; and
a fourth step of causing first and subsequent axillary flower clusters to successively flower by controlling the environment adjusting device so that the cultivation environment is at a fourth temperature lower than the first temperature and the second temperature and higher than the third temperature.
