Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never let the plant dry out completely.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Prune Fuchsia triphylla to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back new shoots to promote branching. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time of year.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy stems, cut below a leaf node, and dip in rooting hormone. Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep consistently moist and humid.

Rooting typically occurs within 3-6 weeks.

Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based blend with perlite. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before active growth commences.
