How do I look after Fuschias?

Answer 1

if your fuchsias are still sitting as plugs, then pot them on into 3 inch pots and let them grow on a bit. Keep them somewhere bright, out of direct sunlight, until they establish their root system - you can tell this by looking at the under side of the pot. Keep the plants moist, but not wet, and start feeding them about six weeks after repotting.

If you want bushier plants, nip them back to four sets of leaves so the plants divide. You can nip them back some more, in a few weeks, if they look like they're not bushy enough, but this may delay flowering. If there are any fallen leaves, clear them away as they can allow fungal infections to spread.

If they're outdoor fuchsias, plant them out in late spring to early summer. If they're for summer bedding, plant them out in early summer.

Answer 3

Depends on whether or not they're hardy. I leave my hardy fuschias outdoors (in Hertfordshire) in winter and they're fine. We have milder winters. Tender fuschias need overwintering indoors.

Answer 4

Hanging under a patio, bright indirect light.
water often, do not let them get too wilty, you can also get leaves wet they like that.
End of blooming season you can cut them back SOME. I prefer just to pick off the dead flowers so they dont produce that berry pod thing, it also causes them to bloom more.
